What a Load of Golf Balls

Through out the history of golf the golf ball has evolved more than any other piece of tool used in the game. From the very first wooden balls followed by the feathery to the newest 4 piece, high energy core, tungsten weighted, titanium, super thin covered, go added go straighter last forever golf ball, advances in science and the materials used in manufacturing has taken that small white thing to a new level of performance.

At the occasion in my shop I have 36 dissimilar balls to pick from and there are plentifulness more types I could stock. This being the case it is difficult for a golfer to pick which is the right ball for them especially when they all claim to be the best thing since the couch potato was given the remote control.

Golf Balls

The number one

Titleist golf balls have been known for many years as 'The number 1 Ball in Golf' and it is true that more tour players over the world use a Titleist ball. Some golfers think that if Ernie Els is playing with a Titleist then they should play with a Titleist as well, however, that is not necessarily the case. Believe it or not in among this huge selection there is the right ball for you and the ball you pick to play with needs to suit your requirements and level of skill.

In my view the huge range of golf balls on the store can be broken down into 5 categories.

1) Budget

2) Hard

3) Medium

4) Soft

5) Swing speed

If you are a beginner, or lose a lot of golf balls, then buying funds balls is the best thing to do. These are often packaged in 15 ball boxes and are a hard durable ball that will generally go added when you hit them. The draw back of this ball is that it is very tantalizing off of the club face and when it comes to chipping and putting can lack some of the soft feel that some golfers prefer.

The harder golf balls such as Topflite Xl 3000, or Callaway Cb1 are perfect for the golfer who doesn't lose too many balls but could do with more length off the tee. These balls are not as hard as the funds type, but are durable and offer some feel nearby the green although they still won't stop very speedily on landing.

If you want the composition of distance, feel and stamina then balls such as the Titleist Nxt Tour, the Callaway Hex 2 or the Strata Tour level are ideal. These are all what I call a medium ball giving the golfer consistent execution in all areas.

The top players in the world all use soft golf balls. Up until about 4 years ago the cover of the ball was authentically soft adequate to mark with your finger nail and marked very authentically when miss hit. This meant that only the best ball strikers, or golfers with more money than sense, would use them. These days the covers on these balls are very durable and the ball will spin and stop very speedily on and nearby the greens.
The foremost balls in this class are Titleist Pro V1, Callaway Hex, Strata Tour Ace, Hogen Apex Tour and the Maxfli M3. These balls are artificial to the highest specification and potential and every golfer could play and enjoy them. They are however very costly at about £10 for 3 balls if you are a bit wayward with your shots then it could cost a fortune in golf balls.

When it comes to swing speed some players just cannot swing the golf club very quickly. If this is the case some manufacturers are now making balls specifically for those of you who struggle to get any length because you just can't hit it hard enough! The Maxfli Noodle ball is perfect for anyone who has a slow swing and they are durable and affordable.

Whichever ball you choose, try to stick with that ball every time you play. You will get used to the feel and performances of the ball, which in turn will help, play more consistent golf.
