Question

What is the best golf ball to use?

Answer 1

Uh for you i'd go with Nike Softs. They work really well around the greens and aren't expensive. I used those till i became lower than a fifteen handicapper. I'd recomment them to anyone.

Answer 2

A lot of high handicappers feel as if a less expensive ball is just fine for their game.  I tend to disagree in this regard.

1)High handicappers do not hit a lot of greens.  Chipping and Pitching are of the upmost importance to a high handicapper.

2)It is EXTREMELY hard to chip and pitch with cheap balls.  They feel like rocks and have horrible spin rates.  You can save a lot of strokes around the green with a good short game.  Therefore,...find a ball that is great for the short game.

The distance factor isn't what it used to be either.  Golf magazine just did performance tests on 54 different golf balls and the softer players balls are typically only around 3-6 yards shorter than the hard as a rock distance balls.

Yes,...players balls are more expensive but can be found on Ebay for a steal.  These balls are slightly used,....but you can get them for around 1-1.25 a ball!!!!!!

I personally like The Titleist Pro V1X (less spin than the pro v1).....but today I am going to try out the Bridgestone 330 ball.     Another good players ball is the Callaway HX Tour or Tour 56.  These are last years model but are very fine balls.

I tend to not like the Nike One Platinum as spin rate is too high for me,....but the Nike One Black is ok for my game.

Answer 3

Titleist the newest kind,I was just golfing yesterday and I was using them and wow they fly.

Answer 4

I would say try looking at the Noodles. They are pretty good without going to Pro V1 - which we all know are just too expensive for casual round of golf. I have been playing Noodles (long and soft) and I am very happy with them.

Also i-Wound - while I found them to be awesome for feel, they are not the best with the distance.

Answer 5

The Best Golf Ball would be Nike One Platinum  or Nike Gold or Nike Black Golf ball. Tiger Woods uses it.

Answer 6

Titleist ProV1

Answer 7

Well, since you name is Kelly- I am assuming your a woman so you should look at women's golf balls.  They are lighter and have a different density then the men's balls.

Just buy a few different packs and try them out- everyone is different and everyone like a different density.

Answer 8

Personally, my best rounds were with the Pro V1.  Don't know if that was coincidence,   I was at the golf course, forgot my balls and bought 2 sleeves at the proshop.
