Question:
I can’t answer from personal experience, but my wife swears by Dunlop DDH for Women. Kenny – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -I have a question for you lady golfers — or any gentlemen who might have an opinion for that matter. I am a high handicap golfer in my second season of play (I shoot in the high 90s/very low 100s). My drive is between 175 and 200 yards. I have inconsistant results with my fairway woods, but can hit long irons fairly consistantly. My short game is decent although I’m still developing feel around the green. I can usually 1 or 2 putt 16 out of 18 holes. My questions are what balls do you recommend/have had success with and do "ladies balls" make any different. Right now, I’ve just been trying the TopFlight 2000 magna and like them pretty well. Thanks — Rose
Response:
I don’t recommend crappy "womens" balls. Ugh. I’ve hit a few and they feel worse than Rock Flites. I suggest a reasonably soft feeling wound ball. My S.O. played with DT Wound 80s until she discovered that Titleist Professionals were much more durable (we play in the Phoenix area and there are many opportunities to bounce balls off rocks and cartpaths). They’re pricey but on the other hand, she’s probably got balls that are past the 50 hole mark. You might also try the Revolution. It might feel too soft though, especially if you have an insert putter. In that case, try some of the various new Taylor Made Inergel balls. -joseph

check out www.sutherland.com The Avant ball is specifically designed for women. I am a golf rep for the company and can say that the women who I have asked to try the ball all think it performs better than what they have previously used. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I don’t recommend crappy "women’s" balls.

IMHO, any ball will do. The "ladies" are the smallest/lightest allowed by the rules of golf. They "supposedly" give extra distance, but you can’t prove it by me. I, like you hit 175 with an occasionally gift from the golf gods of 200-210. This weekend, I used Titleist DT Wound 100s with the same distances and score that I would have gotten with the XL-Ws or any other "ladies" ball. The XL2000s are pretty popular now and the cover feels good on the green. If you like them, stick with them. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have a question for you lady golfers — or any gentlemen who might have an opinion for that matter.

I’ve used a set of women’s golf balls, and I don’t think there is anything special about them. I use what I can get at a reasonable price (going to ask for some Titelists; when they’re gone, I’ll go back to something else…..) I currently use some Spalding Molitor 422’s, as well as some ProStaff Bimetals (both too non-feely for me). I like a ball that I can feel the hit, not hit a rock. Teresa
