Golf Ball Guide

Find the best golf balls for your game

An often overlooked decision in game improvement is the type of golf ball that you use.  A common mistake is to pick your ball based on price (either expensive or cheap) or because your favorite PGA player endorses it.

The major brands will offer different models based on the guidelines below.  Your choice of the ball you play with can be as important as that $500 driver.  Unlike the driver, you will play your ball on every shot of the round.

Beginners should look for an inexpensive distance ball with a softer feel (spin and accuracy are not as important).  If you are a mid to low handicapper you should be looking for a 3 to 4 piece ball with a high spin rate and accuracy.  Distance balls start below $10 a dozen, while you should expect to pay between $40 and $50 dollars for pro level balls.

Use the above guide as a starting point.  If possible, try out several different balls.  See if your club shop or retail store has demo balls that you can hit.  Once you have factored in the above variables, there is only one question left.  Does it feel right to you?  If it does, then play it until those variables change.  Good luck.
