Golf Ball Comparison - How Do You Compare Golf Balls?



Being a good golfer requires many qualities, like accuracy, precision, ability to concentrate and mental power. But, like in other sports, the equipment used has its role in achieving certain performances. For many people, a golf ball is as good as the other, but the passionate golf player knows exactly what to look for when he or she chooses the balls to play with.

Traits, like the material covering the ball, the structure and the compression rate, are the criteria for differentiating a golf ball from the other. Of course, no matter how good the golf ball is, you still need skills and practice to make a good impression on the golf course.

There are basically, two types of golf balls, according to their internal structures. There are two piece balls and three piece balls. Beginners are advised to start playing by using two piece balls, because they are good to send to further distances and they are also cheap, so losing some of them will not be a tragedy. When on the golf course, the beginner must pay close attention to improving their accuracy, so sending the ball at further distances make this practice easier. The swing is very important but it is natural that the beginners have a poor swing, so any help is welcome. On the other hand, the professional players prefer to use three piece balls. They are more complex, being structured as a core filled with gel, a layer of wounded thread and then the covering made of plastic. Advanced players do not need to worry about accuracy, so they are free to try other, more difficult to use, accessories.

Golf balls are different because they are covered with different materials. The most widespread materials used for golf balls are surlyn and balata. Balata is used for professional golf balls, usually covering three piece balls. This special material gives the balls more spin and makes them easier to control. Usually, these golf balls are expensive and they tend to deteriorate rather quickly. Surlyn is used for covering cheaper golf balls. This is a resistant material that allows the balls to be sent further, but they do not have much spin.

Finally, the last criterion when comparing golf balls is the compression rate, a feature determined by the tightness of the ball thread windings. The average compression rate for golf balls ranges from 70 to 110. A low compression rate balls is recommended for players with slow swings, as the balls can be deformed when they are hit. Medium compression balls are easier to control and they are used by more advanced players. High compression balls cannot be deformed when hit and they are recommended for clubs with high club head speeds.
