Chosing the Right Golf Ball


When I fit golfers for golf balls I like to start from the green and work back to the tee. Every golfer no matter how low or high their handicap will hit more shots to the green than off the tee. Shown below are some statistics that will help you understand.

If you shoot...

PAR - <36>22 shots to the green, 14 shots with the driver

80 - 36 shots on the green, >30 shots to the green, 14 shots with the driver

90 - >36 shots on the green, >40 shots to the green, 14+ with the driver

100 - >36 shots on the green, >50 shots to the green, 14+ with the driver

These statistics show that more golfers will improve with a golf ball that will give them better results to and around the green.

Keep in mind that it is a misconception that hard golf balls fly farther than soft golf balls. In fact, Titleist says that there is only a 4 yard difference off the driver between the Pro V1X and NXT golf ball.

To sum up, find a golf ball that gives you the best feel and results to and around the green. Buy balls by the sleeve to start and try them in real on course conditions. If you need help, ask one of your PGA Professionals today!
