When it comes to trying to select the best golf balls, there are
literally hundreds of different types, brands and sizes that you
can to choose from. Each golf ball manufacturer makes a number
of different types of balls all designed with different playing
styles, different types of players and different price brackets.
So as a consumer how do you go about selecting the best golf
balls for your needs? This is easy when you consider that golf
ball manufacturers generally break their products into two
distinct groups - the two piece balls and the multi layer balls.
Let's take a moment to examine each one in more detail.
The two piece golf ball is the traditional distance ball. This
means that it is designed to travel. The two piece ball consists
of the core and a cover and as a result of this design, the two
piece balls travel the maximum distance no matter what the swing
speed is. As a player, you will generally hear an audible click
when you make contact with this ball when you hit it with your
club. Because these balls get less sidespin they tend to fly
straighter even if they are hit of the heel or toe. Two piece
balls are generally cheaper than the multi layer balls.
The multi layer ball on the other hand is either a three piece
or four piece ball and is made up of a core, a mantle, and then
a cover. These are generally more expensive balls. They usually
feel softer to hit and have a higher spin rate because of this
softness. In the higher spinning balls, the mantle helps to
transfer the energy to the core whereas in a lower spinning ball
the mantle will help to reduce the spin off a player who chooses
to use a driver or a longer club.
So how do you work out which ball will best suit and even
improve your game? Firstly you need to determine what type of
player you are or want to become. Players that are mostly
concerned with getting more distance off the tee are better off
opting for the two piece ball. Where as players who want more
control in the ball should opt for the multi layer ball. The
best way to decide between the two is to head to the gold range
and hit a few buckets to get a feel for both types.
