Ladies' golf balls?

Question

About golfs ball usage, can we men use ladies' golf ball in tournament? Curiosity..i do used precept paula creamer's pink balls couple of times, aint no difference that men golf balls...

Answer 1

The guy above got it right.  There is not rule to using one, but the balls are much different.  A guy with a high swing speed with get ridiculous amounts of spin with women golf balls.  However, it is fun to win bets and stuff against people while you are playing with the pink precept LOL HAHA

Answer 2

You can use any ball you like in a tournament as long as it conforms to USGA rules.  The balls designated as "ladies" usually have a lower compression so anyone with a slower swing speed will be able to compress it better and get some spin on it.

Answer 3

if your a lady yes men no

Answer 4

Sure. Designating a ball as a women's ball typically has to do with the ball being designed for a slow swing speed. As long as the ball is USGA conforming, you can use any ball you like.

I'm not sure I'd want to be around when you pull a pink ball out though... maybe you should look at using the Wilson\Staff Zero ball, plenty soft and tons of distance.

Answer 5

If a ball is not on the USGA's non-conforming list, it should be ok to use anywhere, by anyone.
