How to choose the right golf ball, according to a fitter

We have all been there, standing in the Golf Ball -Gangpad in your local golf store, which do our best to navigate between MarketingLingLo, smart packaging and of course costs.

It can be quite intimidating, especially for the average golfer who may not be aware of the differences between Pro V1, Tour Response and Supersoft, etc.

I have seen players select a ball by doing a bounce test directly on the shop floor and just choosing the one who bounced the highest. Although it is nice to see and even participate, it is an insufficient way to select the best for you.

Don’t get me wrong now, and hits a number of different balls in a simulator to see how far you can touch it is fun, but it can also lead to a one -way ticket from the back of the green with your local Muni.

To make the right decision for your game, you must have a basic knowledge of what the golf ball taps and some important differences.

What are the different golf balls today?

All your golf balls today consist of different layers and materials that manipulate the performance and feeling, which is a decisive factor that is usually overlooked. If you look at your products on the top shelf, they all consist of a 4 to 5 multi-layered construction that benefits faster players from the T-shirt, together with helping produce more spider for those constantly crucial approach shots.

This is where golf balls in the ‘distance’ category that most likely consist of 2 layers can be compressed to maximize the distance, but there may be some sacrifice with those shorter closer shots and overall control.

Then you have your three -part golf balls that can help to win some distance, but can have a number of extra benefits that give the player a little more control than your two -part products.

All these will also consist of different cover materials and pit patterns that can manipulate the ball flight and performance around the greens, but we leave that for the R&D boys to explain.

How you can decide what you need in a golf ball

For me, the first step that every player has to take is deciding what the most important thing is for them and their play, and if necessary, what they are willing to sacrifice. Some can attach a greater value to the feeling and performance around the green while chipping and placing, while others may want to reduce spider and get some bullet speed for more optimal distance holes.

Now, of course, the brains that these designs have found different ways to give us both, but understanding your wishes and needs in advance can ultimately help you make the right decision.

This is where having conversations with your fitter can be extremely beneficial, because they understand your play, the figures behind them, and of course how to manipulate those figures to your advantage.

How to choose the right golf ball with a fitter

A trusted fitter can identify the opportunities for opportunities and help in taking well -considered, data -driven decisions to not only fit with you for the best clubs, but also for the best golf ball.

If you are a player who naturally creates more spider but does not want to play a club with strong lofts or too much offset, finding the right golf ball can help reduce that extra twist and produce more optimal data.

On the other hand, if you have to get spider or height to increase your string, the right golf ball can also help with that.

I always see it where a player chooses a low spinning golf ball that they cannot compress and struggle to get the ball in the air, just to get a few meters from the tee. This can work well until we are confronted with a short -sided pin and some problems of the back, wondering why our shot did not check and rolled from the back of the green.

Last step: test from real life

This is where my most important step comes, which is live testing on the course and/or practice facility.

So often I see players choosing a ball before I even see how it performs for them around the green. For me this is where you usually have to be spent, while we decide between a few different options, so that the golf ball reacts the way you want.

You have to spend some time with the putter, make sure that you prefer to get the feeling of the face and your ability to control the speed around the greens.

With 70,000+ Clubhead and Schachtcombo’s, True Spec Golf will fit and build a precise set of clubs.

Then you have to go back 50-60 meters and make some wigschoten while you ask yourself or respond the ball in the right way, because these are all steps that I would like my players to take when they make their decision.

With a good technique, players can of course have more control over the ball and what it does, but just as we need the right bouncing and grinding for making different wigschoten, with the right ball plays just as great role.

Just as much as loft and weighting, the launch can manipulate and rotate with your driver, the right golf ball is more than probably the missing piece. Go to your local real spec golf to find out which golf balls are suitable for you and make the crucial decision for yourself.
