Golf Ball Buying
Tips
Having as much as 5,000
patented designs approved since the 1990’s, the golf ball is
the most skillfully designed ball in the world of
sports.
Because of its advanced
technology, choosing a golf ball is a baffling decision for
golf players.
Because there are several
types of golfers, ball manufacturers have created several kinds
of balls, that if correctly matched to the player’s game, they
can boost enjoyment and at the same time a possibility for
par.
Structure Of A Golf
Ball
Two-Piece
Golf Balls
Two-piece golf balls are recognized for their
"distance", and players describe them as distance
balls. These balls are made up of harder, strong
and a cover resistant to cuts. The compact inner
center is made from a variety of materials. The
harder the material of the inner core, the further the
ball will travel. However, two-piece balls lack the
capacity to manage the ball because it has limited spin
amounts.
Three-Piece
Golf Balls
Three-piece golf balls are constructed for feel and spin.
These are made up of a softer coat or cover (Balata) with
compact inner core and extra layer of fabric between the cover
and the core that "softens" the blow or impact of the head of
the club against the golf ball. This provides improved
feel and spin, but loss of durability and distance.
Multi-Layer
Golf Balls
Multi-layer golf balls are also known as “all purpose
balls”. These balls are made up of a durable, soft cover
that is separated by many very thin layers which are made up of
a variety of materials and an improved inner core, resulting in
a ball that gives better all around execution.
Buying The Best Ball For You
Beginner
Beginners or high handicap players will require distance and
are likely to “mis-hit” the golf ball, must choose a two-piece
golf ball with Surlyn coat or cover because it is durable,
affordable and has “distance” characteristics.
Intermediate
Mid
handicap golfers can play with a three-piece ball with
Elastomer or Balata softer cover to give more feel and
spin. Since these balls offer faster “swing speeds”, they
will not suffer distance loss.
Advance
Low handicap players should use a multi-layered ball.
Because advance golf players have the quickest “swing speeds”,
they will achieve extra distance and feel and spin
benefits.
Like any equipment in golf, discovering the perfect
or right golf ball for your play style will entail a lot of
trial or testing. Just keep on playing, keep on testing
those balls; in no time, you will find the most
perfect one for you.
