Find Your Ideal Choice Of Golf Ball - Save Strokes off Your Golf Game

By Matt Smith


If you're a typical golf enthusiast, the equipment you think of most are your drivers, putters, wedges and so on. What you may not realize is that your ball has a crucial effect on your performance. But the way that today's market is flooded with so many choices of golf ball means that it's nearly impossible to try each one in the hopes of finding the one that is right for you. If you want to cut a few strokes off your golf game without changing much else, one of the smartest things you can do is visit your local golf shop and have them do a custom golf ball fitting for you.

Without having to change a thing in your golf swing, using the correct ball will allow you to score better. The process is very easy and can be extremely informative since many weekend players don't often get a chance to have their swing measured on the high tech equipment often used by professionals.

You begin by taking your own club (usually your Driver) to your local golf store, where they will set you up on one of their golf simulators. You'll take a series of practice swings while the technician monitors your action. After each of your shots the simulator gives data for the speed of the golf ball, the angle of elevation, distance, and more.

The simulator technician will ask you about the parts of your game that you'd like to improve. Is it overall distance you want to improve? Carry distance? Spin around the greens? Even what price range you are looking for. Once your base figures have been established the technician will then bring you a variety of balls from your price ranges that are designed to improve the things you're looking for. Without needing to go to the golf course, you'll try these brands of golf ball, striking each one a number of times while the simulator monitors your performance with each one.

At this time you have a technician will have a look at the information and you should be able to see which brands and type of golf ball will most suit your swing velocity and action. A typical of player will probably see an increase in distance of maybe 3 to 5 m. At this distance will be gained without any change in your golf swing.

This additional distance will translate to the rest of the clubs in your bag because you'll be playing a ball that has the correct compression, and manufacturing design for your game. You'll be able to make an informed choice when deciding what type of ball to buy, and have the data in your hands to back up your choice.
