Golf Balls - Page 86

Most golfers want to know where to buy cheap or discount golf balls in bulk, and high-quality used golf balls are a great alternative. Compression and spin rate are the major determining factors when choosing golf balls. There is no need to read every review to find the best golf balls for the average golfer because there are many good brands unless custom or novelty golf balls are desired. The most popular golf balls are:

• Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls. With proven speed and control, these are the PGA’s most popular balls.
• Bridgestone E6 Soft Golf Balls. These golf balls deliver a high speed for increased distance coupled with softness.
• TaylorMade TP5x Golf Balls. These high-velocity balls make for a firm, long hit.
• Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls. Great for beginners, “super” aptly describes how soft these high-accuracy balls are.

Golf balls come in different levels of compression ranging from low to mid to high. Golfers with a low swing speed need balls with low compression (soft golf balls), and a high swing speed needs high compression (hard golf balls). For beginners and high handicappers, the best golf balls are often soft, like TaylorMade Noodle Long and Soft or Titleist TruFeel Golf Balls, which will cover more ground on each hit. Ladies might prefer soft golf balls like the Srixon Soft Feel Lady Golf Ball or the Callaway Supersoft Golf Ball.

Spin rate tells how straight golf balls fly. Popular golf balls, such as the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, are more forgiving and will fly straighter than golf balls with a greater spin rate. The spin rate is determined by the depth of the golf ball's dimples. Golf balls with shallower dimples have a lower spin rate and, as a result, will fly straighter. Beginners or high-handicap golfers often prefer a ball with a low spin rate. Most brands combine low spin rate with low compression in many golf balls to ensure distance and control.
