Golf Balls-What Are You Looking For In A Ball?

When you are starting out you have to accept that you are probably going to lose more golf balls than

you care to believe! Buying just a cheap set of golf balls is probably best. Then as you progress and you

feel that the par on the scorecard is closer to the shots you are hitting than the balls you are losing,

then maybe it's time to treat yourself to a better golf ball.

Golf balls are all a standard size -

42.5mm and weigh 46g. But their construction varies, which affects the performance in flight and the

durability of the ball. Thus a ball designed to fly well might not be the most forgiving ball on the

putting green.

Dimple patterns will vary between manufacturers and each will have it's supposed

advantages over the rest of the market.

3-piece golf balls
A rounded rubber pellet is

smoothed before being wrapped around with a rubber thread. After this, a smooth outer case is applied to

the ball - usually being compressed together from two halves. Then the dimple pattern will be pressed

into the ball before painted and adding the manufacturer's logo - and your own if you really want

to!

This kind of ball gives a professional feel whilst the case gives durability.

2-piece

golf balls
This ball uses a solid centre and an outer layer to make what is probably the most

popular kind of ball on the market. It's a solid ball, giving distance and durability, but this can be at

the expense of control in the short game.

Balata golf balls
These are usually the choice of

the professionals providing maximum feel and control. Including an elastic winding, the ball is encased

with a Balata cover. These will tend to not last as long as those with man made covers.

If you are

just starting out in the game then a bulk pack of cheap lake balls is probably a good idea - cheap and

not too painful when they are lost. As you progress, take a look at which areas of your game need

improving then find a ball that helps you there.
