Choosing A Golf Ball For Your Style Of Golf
from: Mick Euan TaitMake no mistake; playing golf with the wrong type of golf balls will negatively affect your game. You should play the best golf balls for your particular game otherwise you may be sacrificing accuracy and consistency for a few extra yards.
Is there a way to decide which is the best golf ball for your level of golf and your golf club swing speed? There is a way; you first need to comprehend the function of of each type of golf ball.
For the purpose of this article I will not get into details about the diameter of a golf ball, how much does a golf ball weigh, the number of dimples on a golf ball, or the specific materials that go into making a golf ball. Instead I will go over the important factors that will help you in choosing a golf ball that is right for you.
One Piece Golf Balls
The 1-piece golf ball is made from one piece of a solid material and is usually only used on the driving range, as a practice ball, or sometimes by beginners. For this purpose, they are adequate as they are very durable and cheap - the downside is that they aren't good for distance.
Two-Piece Balls
Two piece golf balls have a solid core enclosed in a cover which is made of a cut proof material, making them very durable. They are the ones that are used by most casual golfers because they give you maximum distance. This is because of their firm feel and low spin rate that causes them to roll further on the fairway. The drawback is that they are not as controllable as a softer ball.
3-Piece Golf Balls
The 3-piece golf ball consists of a solid or liquid core encircled by a lining and enclosed by the outer cover. These are the preferred ball of many low handicappers that have the ability to take advantage of the higher spin rate and softer feel. These specifications make these balls more accurate for driving and they have more spin and control for the short game.
Four-Piece Balls
The latest advancement in golf ball technology is the 4-piece golf ball which is a good combination of a distance ball with spin and feel. These balls are more suited to the mid to low handicapper all the way to the professional golfer. They are designed for maximum distance of the tee, give you good spin off your mid-irons, and good control and feel around and on the greens; their biggest disadvantage being their high price.
Low Spin Rated Golf Balls
Low spin balls produce less spin which causes them to carry as far but when they hit the fairway they roll more to compensate. The higher handicapped golfer will appreciate that there is less side spin as these balls will have less tendency to hook or slice - resulting in straighter shots.
Mid Spin Rated Golf Balls
Mid spin balls are the most popular and widely used golf ball. They are a mixture of good distance and good feel or control which gives you the ability to hit long drives and with good accuracy. The degree of softness available depends on the brand that you choose though.
High Spin Balls
These golf balls create the most backspin which in turn maintains the ball in the air longer for a longer carry distance. They won't roll far once on the fairway because of the backspin but they are great for control with the short irons and have good feel on the green.
Firm-Feel Golf Balls
When you hit a firm-feel golf ball you will notice that they feel hard against the club face. Distance golf balls are generally firm feel; they give you the distance but lack the feel around the green. Mid to high handicappers normally go for these balls as they want more distance and are not worried to much by the lack of spin for their approach shots. They are also very hard-wearing and don't scratch or mark easily.
Mid Feel Balls
The most popular golf ball for the mid handicapper is the mid feel golf ball, as they combine the ability to produce good distance and control.
Soft Feel Balls
Soft feel golf balls are preferred by low handicappers and professional golfers. The best players can use their skill to work these balls any way they like. They are great for the short game where spin and the soft feel make them ideal. They are generally not suited to the casual golfer because they are not so good for distance and the soft cover scuffs easily.
The Compression Of A Golf Ball
A golf balls compression is related to the feel factor. Golf balls are rated by how much they compress, with Compression 0 deforming at 0.2 inches or above and compression 200 not deforming at all. Low compression golf balls are soft feel golf balls that are around compression 50 to 70; medium compression are 80 to 90; and high compression golf balls are hard feel golf balls that are around 100 and above. These rates are not that exact as different manufacturers use different rates.
It is generally recommended that slow swing speed golfers use golf balls with a compression rate of 80; golfers with an average swing speed should use compression 100; and Compression 110 is best for fast swing speed golfers.
The compression of a golf ball should be chosen with care depending on the weather conditions. When it is hot, golf balls compress more so you should choose high compression golf balls; so, obviously, when it is cold you should choose low compression golf balls.
When the golf course is very wet you will need to choose a golf ball that has more carry and less spin to achieve maximum distance. On the other hand, when the course is baked hard by a prolonged dry spell, choose a golf ball that has a soft feel and higher spin rate for more control.
