Proper Golf Ball Comparison

Learn How To Do A Proper Golf Ball

Comparison





If peak performance is what you are after then you need to learn how to do a proper golf

ball comparison. Just like choosing the right golf clubs, picking the correct ball for you

is just a matter of matching the different types of balls with your swing and how you play

golf. Golf balls are all the same, aren't they? They may be small, but they are one of the

most engineered pieces of golfing equipment.

Have you ever taken a really close look at a golf ball? They have different feels,

different densities and different spins resulting in a different action, depending on how

you play the game. To get the best out of your game and your golf ball, you need to match

each section of the golf ball with your level of skill and style,

First off, you need to chose the correct golf ball compression. The compression is the

measurement of how tightly wound the ball is. Depending on your swing speed, depends

on how the compression comes into play. If you're swing speed is quite slow, then you

will want a lower compression. Therefore, the faster the speed, the higher the golf ball

compression that you will need.

In total, the compression ratings are broken down into three separate groups.

The first group is the 80 compression golf balls. They tend to be the softest and produce

what essentially results in a sling shot effect when they are hit. They fly farther after

being hit but they are much hard to control and hit accurately. They are the most popular

type of golf ball amongst women, senior and junior players for their distance alone.

The next group is the 90 compression rating golf balls. Due to their middle of the road

standing, soft enough to provide good distance on a slower swing but hard enough to

provide a good degree of control, these are a good match for most male players in a golf

ball comparison. They also prove to be a great choice for the more advanced female

players.

The final group is the 100 compression rating golf balls. Fast swing speeds are needed

for top performance due to these being the hardest balls. These type of balls are most

popular amongst the low handicap and scratch players due to the faster swing speeds and

the higher level of control.

Of course the only real way for you to know which is the best fit golf ball compression

for your game is to do your own golf ball comparison. So, why not take a few of each of

the golf ball compressions out to the driving range and find out which ones work best for

you.
