Question

What would be the best golf ball to use if you are a beginner?

Answer 1

As a beginner myself.  Buy the cheapest one you can find.  I would much rather loose 10 .50 cent balls a round than one $3 or 4 dollar ball.  And you will loose them until you figure out which way your ball is going when you hit it...which may be never in my case.

Answer 2

Top Flite. Get a 15 pack at WalMart for about $12. There is not enough difference between the highest priced and lowest price balls to make a difference in your play.

PGA caddy.

Answer 3

Top Flite is always a good choice. You could also try Nike or Slazenger balls. If you have a slower swing speed, then you could try women's balls. That is what I did when I first started and they work great and go far. Precept or Nike Karma balls are probably going to be what you want to use, then use Top Flite and Slazenger once your swing speed gets quicker.

Answer 4

Top Flite or Maxfli or slazenger

Answer 5

The cheapest balls you can find.  Until you become a 20 or better handicap, the type ball is not going to make a difference for you.

Answer 6

I suggest using a Maxfli Fire.  They're pretty cool, and work very well.

Answer 7

maxfli

Answer 8

Top-Flite Gamers are a softer version of Top-Flite. They are about $18 for a dozen and a decent ball if you are starting out.

Answer 9

I Dont Know If Its The Best, But Id Go With The Top Flite XL3000 Super Soft, They Are $12.94 For 15 At The Wal*Mart. Good Luck To Ya.

Answer 10

Cheap ones you can afford to lose.

Answer 11

The Top Flite D2 feel is seriously a great ball. It can be bought pretty much anywhere for about $15 (15 pack!).

    Top Flite has tas taken alot of critisism the past few years for having rock hard balls with pretty much no play in them but that all changed last year when Calloway took over. The new D2 balls are soft and play great off tee and around the green. Obviously they are no Pro-V1's but they are a very good ball at a very good price!

Answer 12

The cheaper the better. It is not only losing the ball that will cost you, but cutting it as well. So a thick cover is a good thing.

At the outset of your pilgrimage, be aware that it is not the tools, but the way you use them that counts.  Spend your money on lessons - not equipment.  I know that young people today like to brag about how much this or that costs;  but you can duck-hook a ball into the bush as easily with a five hundred dollar driver as you can with a 20 dollar one from a department store.

Pay no attention to instructional books or videos put out by the leading pros. They make it look easy - and it is , for them. It is easy because of what they know of the finer points, and they aren't going to share them with you any more than a member of the Magic Circle will.  They don't need the competition. A Woods or a Faldo has nothing to lose if you learn nothing from their teachings. By definition, they can do it and you can't - so you're the dummy. On the other hand, a teaching pro worth his salt depends upon your abilities, not his. He teaches, you don't learn, so HE'S the dummy.

Answer 13

I'd recommend the Maxfli Noodle. It's softer than Top Flites and feels better on shorter shots. The Precept Laddie is another good low compression ball that's not very expensive. Should be able to find 24 packs of either for about $20.00.

Answer 14

Use the noodle ball.  It is designed for lower swing speeds, and for beginners.
