When It Comes To Purchasing A Golf Ball

By Alison Heath


Are you aware that since the 1990s, there have been close to 5,000 designs that have been developed, approved, and patented? its no wonder then that it is one of the most artfully designed items in the field of sports.

There are so many options to choose from and a golf player's nightmare would be choosing a suitable golf ball.

Because of the multiplicity of player types, the designers have also tried to develop different designs of balls which can suit each player, so that maximum fun can be derived from the game, as well as increase the possibility of a par.

Golf ball and its structure

Distance balls are also known as two-piece balls by the players and they are made up of material that is hard and immune to cuts. They are known for their 'distance'. The inner of these balls can be made of different materials and are also tight. When it comes to how hard the inner is, it can be decided by the distance a ball can travel. It is a fact though that these balls lack the ability to spin, and it is difficult to manage these two-piece balls, because of its limited ability to spin.

For better feel and ability to spin, three-piece golf balls are ideal. They are made only for this purpose. A tight inside is covered by the outer softer coat or Balata. You can also find a fabric layer that occupies the space between the outer cover and the core. The blow of the club on the ball is lessened or softened because of this. Though this gives the ball a better feel and spin, the areas of compromise are longevity and the distance.

When you want an all-purpose ball, go for balls which multi-layered. These balls are made of a lasting soft cover and it contains layers of thin materials as well as a vastly improved inner core. This makes the ball good in all respects.

Choosing the right ball for you.

Novices and players with high handicap who are most likely to hit the ball wrongly, should go for two-piece golf balls which has a Surlyn coat since these balls last longer, cheap and come with the 'distance' advantages.

For mid handicap players, golf balls with three-piece structure with Elastomer or Balata outer cover are a good choice. Aside from being capable of swing speeds, these balls also do not make any compromise on the distance aspect.

Multi-layered balls are what experienced golf players should choose. These players are low handicap and have good swing speeds which is why they can get the advantage of distance, feel, as well as good spins.

Similar to other equipment required to play golf, it would require a lot of trial and error until you hit the right choice when you are trying to get the right ball for you. But do not refrain from playing this enjoyable game - you will definitely get to the most perfect choice of ball in no time.
