I score better with bright yellow-green balls. Stroke and distance for lost balls is significant – I like being able to find my balls. Now if I could buy bright yellow-green Calloway Blues, I would be a happy man.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but USGA spec’s on legal golf balls allows them to go only a certain distance. This is no matter what they are called (distance, tour trajectory, etc.). If the balls exceed these limits they become illegal. IMO it’s all hype with the manufactures, If you like the feel of a specific ball use it. GAP

Well, yes and no. Different balls "feel" different… some are like hitting rocks (Wilson Straight Distance? is the hardest I’ve ever hit), some have a noticeably softer feel (any Balata covered ball), and there are MANY in-between. What you decide to play should certainly take the state of your golf game into account. If you are starting a round with a dozen balls and in danger of not being able to finish because you have lost eleven, you might not want to shell out for expensive balls quite yet. But, you also don’t want to hurt your game in the name of money. There are a lot of choices at a lot of different price points… experiment… find out which ball works better and/or feels better to you. One important aspect of golf is confidence, and the little white ball that you have in front of you may have a big effect in that area. Initially, you’ll probably want to look more at the "distance" balls. Once distance becomes less of an issue for you, start playing with the "spin" or "control" balls. You may or may not be able to tell the difference, but you’ll never know until you hit them yourself. Hope that helps. — Brad

There are differences between golf balls. Sometimes those differences are significant. How those differences affect your shot (distance, roll, trajectory) are very dependent on how YOU swing the club. As a beginner, buy the cheapest balls you can. Used balls let you experiment with different balls. Also, found balls will sometimes let you dabble with expensive balls (Callaways, Nikes, Pro V1’s, etc.). Your swing is still to variable to take advantage of the subtlties in golf balls. Besides, it sucks loosing a $2-4 ball when you can buy a dozen used balls for about that much. I just recently (on a whim) bought a dozen used Callaway Rule 35 reds for $9. These are not cheap balls (when new), and I wanted to try them out. The covers are very tacky, so I suspect they’d be great at gripping greens (from backspin). For me (I shoot in the mid to high 90’s, as I’ve only been golfing for about 6 months now), these balls are so grippy that I slice them badly on drives. However, harder, "distance" balls fly straighter. I do recognize that my swing can and will change from the feedback from slicing (you try harder right after a bad slice). Right now my favorite ball is a Wilson Staff women’s distance. I found one and have played 3 rounds with the same ball. I’ve also used a Maxfli Tour distance (or something like that). I hit a 3 iron about 190-200 yards off the tee with that (one bounce off rock hard fairways and into a creek at 220yds). Now that’s not really impressive, but for me I have NEVER hit my 3I more than 170 yards before. I’m sure it was more setup than ball, but I found that I was getting at least 10 yards more with the Maxfli than with the Wilson (I alternated throughout the round). Jeff

I mean, i currently use Dunlop Tour Gold as they are cheap (I loose a few so dont want to spend to much). But would i be better off with spending a bit more and going for something like Nike’s (Ok, so i would like to be like Tiger woods ;o) Dont we all?) Any advise would be helpful as i am baffled by all the balls and different price ranges there are…. Thanks in advance Lee

IMHO, YES there is a difference. Buy yourself a sleeve of Strata Tour Professional 90 balls. Play them for a round. If you don’t notice a difference, do not worry and buy whatever you want that is on sale. If you do notice a difference, try to qualify how the ball played differently. You will then be on your journey toward finding a ball that works best for you. I play the Strata and the Pro V1 (original version). RJ …

The difference in your swing from shot to shot accounts for far more difference than between golf balls. However, there are differences. That doesn’t mean you should necessarily pay for them. In fact, I’d buy used balls if I were you. I mean, I’m *me*, and I still buy used balls. A "straight distance" ball might be best for you. Later, when you’re hitting your drives a good distance and in the fairway a satisfactory amount of the time, you might decided you want a higher spin ball to hold the greens better. In the meantime, you might want to experiment with harder and softer distance balls to see which one feels better and/or goes a little farther.

In the good old days ball were not very variated. Now you may want to ask your local local pro" which would better complement my swing, A four piece liquid core, balata, aerodynamic Titleist or a 3 piece hi spin Titanium core cohesive bonded Wilson?" If you think this is confusing, this is just 2 of the hundreds of new ball designs on the market today!!! Glad I can help with the insanity! Mike Klein "If it quacks, It’s probably a duck!" LA journal
