Basic Golf Ball Selection
All golfers are individuals, however you can generalize the type of stroke played and brake it down into six main categories, of which there is a standard choice of golf ball best suited to help the player improve their overall game. These can be listed as follows-
Slicers
Recommended – Low spin rated golf balls
Reason- By reducing the spin you reduce the effect of the slice.
Low ball hitter
Recommended – High spin rated golf balls
Reason- The high spin on the golf ball enabling it to stop sooner, therefore increasing control.
Low distance hitter
Recommended – Two piece golf balls
Reason- Increases the top spin on the golf ball and therefore range.
Long distance hitter
Recommended- Three piece softer golf balls
Reason- Improves control around the green, helping you to work the golf ball.
Picker (takes no divot)
Recommended- Two piece performance golf balls
Reason- A lower compression and higher spin rate as pickers need the spin rate to help get the ball in the air.
Experienced / Professional
Recommended- Four piece golf balls
Reason- The extra layer transfers more energy at club impact to the core of the golf ball therefore improving the range.
