Golf Balls

For the average golfer, an expensive golf ball won't offer enough noticeable benefits to justify for the higher cost. The only benefit to an expensive golf ball is its increased spin around the green and the nice soft feel at impact.

Golf balls are a great example of how different factors work together to create a desired product. They have different layers, different spin rates, different compression ratings, and a few others. While most people just use whatever ball they found in the bushes the round before, if you want to improve your game, you'll want to look into different types of golf balls. For example, some golf balls are designed to fly a longer distance and allow the player to have more “feel” of the shot, while others make it easier to achieve more backspin when hitting.

In general you want to choose a golf ball with a compression rating that matches or exceeds your swing speed in order to maximize the efficiency of your swing speed. If your swing speed is over 100 mph select a golf ball with 100 compression; if your swing speed is 90 mph or greater, select a golf ball with 90 compression. If your swing is 80 mph or lower, go with a golfball of 80 compression.

Across brands, golf balls vary in quality and price. High-quality, more expensive golf balls typically have a urethane cover, which contributes to improved 'feel' and greater spin control. Premium golf balls will usually last longer and

The softer a golf ball is, the farther it can travel. The reason for this is that a softer ball has a lower compression rating.

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 in choosing golf balls. There is no need to read every review to find the best brand of golf balls for the average golfer because, unless custom or novelty golf balls are desired, there are many good brands. The most popular golf balls are:

1. Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls. With proven speed and control, these are the PGA’s most popular balls.
2. Bridgestone E6 Soft Golf Balls. These golf balls deliver a high speed for increased distance coupled with softness.
3. TaylorMade TP5x Golf Balls. These high-velocity balls make for a firm, long hit.
4. 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 such as 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 how deep the dimples are on the golf ball. Golf balls with shallower dimples have a lower spin rate and as a result, will fly straighter. Beginners or high handicap golfers will often prefer a ball with a low spin rate. Most brands combine low spin rate with low compression in many of their golf balls to ensure both distance and control.
