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
esulting 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
seperate 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 amongest
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.
