The word ‘Golf’ is the modified name of Colf which used to be played as a fun game in Holland in the 15th century. That time golf used to be considered as one of the royal game among all other games played in Europe. Now it’s very popular game and is being played all over the world.
Golf is played with a golf stick and a small ball usually white in color. Among all the accessories and equipments of Golf the golf ball is the most important and full of various features and many new features has been added to it since this game was played for the first time. It gave a complete new look and different variety to a golf ball.
There are mainly three things which a golf player always considers before choosing a right ball to play with i.e. Content, weight and efficiency. In golf the main object of a player is to drive the ball into a series of holes as faster as he can to defeat his opponents. So the ball has to be light weighted in order to travel through a long distance.
At its very beginning golf was played with wooden balls and with the passage of time it has been modified to the new balata or titanium balls which are available in two styles- dimpled and no dimpled. However dimpled style is more popular among players.
In this world of technology today golf balls are being made with lots of advancements which have made the game faster and have increased the efficiency of the ball in terms of size and weight. Now golf balls have become much smaller and light weighted. In order to get sanctioned according to the golf game and tournament rules a golf ball should meet this following specifications: like the weight of the ball should not exceed 1.938 ounces or 45.93 grams and the diameter should be at least 1.680 inches or 42.67 mm.
After all, whether the ball is stuffed with feathers or liquid or rubber, golf remains a game of accuracy and consistency, not merely distance. Because balls fly farther doesn’t mean they necessarily fly straighter.
As golf technology and developments into golf clubs advance rapidly, many believe the advancements in the golf ball are slower and less common. This is a commonly believed by most golfers but is far from the truth. Golf ball technology has advanced immensely in recent years and now finding the right ball for your game could almost be as advantageous as picking the right clubs.
A golf ball in today’s market is amazing: the amount of money spent on research and development is incredible and the time and resources used to fill the 1.68-inch diameter ball is truly astonishing. Gone are the days of the balata and liquid centre and the new breed of multi-layered solid core balls are here. A Callaway fitting expert believes that 50% of the golfers that come for a fitting are using the wrong ball.
Hence here is a list of golf balls (the right kind of course) from which you might select the one that suits you the best :
1) One Piece : A one-piece golf ball is the most basic ball that is designed primarily for beginners and occasionally used as driving range balls.
2) Two Piece : A two-piece golf ball is used by most ordinary everyday golfers because it combines durability with maximum distance.
3) Three Piece : Three-piece golf balls have either a solid rubber or liquid centre. They are softer and take more spin, allowing a skillful golfer more control over the ball’s flight when hit.
4) Four Piece : A recent addition to ball construction is the four-piece golf ball. Rare at the moment, but could be the way the ball is headed in the future. Each layer or piece of a golf ball has a specific and different purpose. All the layers work together to offer the longest hitting, softest feeling golf ball.
If you are looking for golf balls that would spin go for the varied range of spinners like :Low Spin Golf Balls, Mid Spin Golf Balls, High Spin Golf Balls.there is another variation golf balls available too known as Feel balls like : Firm Feel Golf Balls, Mid Feel Golf Balls, Soft Feel Golf Balls
Golf balls are made to meet specifications laid down by two controlling bodies which are the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R & A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA). Finally we can wrap up the conversation saying that “a better game starts with a better golf ball.”
Skills on golf ball comparisons are needed for you to effectively improve your game as a golfer. Even if you are not a golfer but selecting a golf ball for someone you know, these skills can prove handy as they will help you make a correct purchase.
Since the 1950s, golf balls have become more and more technologically advanced than ever. With rapid changing technology, methods of producing a golf ball tailored to individual golfers’ needs is crucial.
With such technology backing the golf balls of today, they have become very much a factor in optimizing your golf game as compared to the mid 1500s. Hence, every golfer needs to be playing a golf ball that is optimizing his or her game for maximum performance.
As each golf ball is very much different from the other, there are some critical factors that need to be compared to suit your needs. For effective golf ball comparisons, these areas needs to be considered.
1. Materials of a golf ball – Golf ball composition differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Majority of the golf balls used to be hard cover surlyn types but it is not necessary the case anymore. The materials vary to suit the different types of feel, distance, spin or trajectory that they are trying to achieve for certain categories of golfers.
The common type of materials are surlyn, ionomer, urethane and polybutadiene. Surlyn is normally used as the cover. There are however exceptional cases with Surlyn as a thin outer layer for enhanced velocity and trajectory while exhibiting control with Urethane. Urethane is the softest material used for the cover which encourages spin around the green. Ionomer works great with as a soft cover replacing Surlyn for more spin. Polybutadiene is generally rubber that forms the core of the golf ball.
2. The construction of a golf ball – Now golf ball comparisons can even mean comparing the pieces of a golf ball. Compared to the old balata golf ball, the pieces of a golf ball can vary from two to four pieces. Even the type of pieces vary from brand to brand. Callaway features a duo core four piece golf ball in their Tour I series. In comparison with Bridgestone B330 series double mantle layer four piece golf ball, both are four piece yet with different constructions.
The good news is, you do not need to bother about the various types of constructions. You only need to focus on the core, cover, the layer beneath the cover and the dimples.
For selection process, two piece are normally distance balls for the high handicapped golfers. Three piece would have a added control with a bit more spin on the green. However as engineers get better, this information is no longer that accurate but can only be used as a guide for golf ball comparisons.
3. Compression ratings – Golf ball ratings are mostly in the low compression ratings. Compression ratings range from 0 the softest to 200 the highest. A low compression means less velocity and less driver spin on initial impact off the tee and vice versa. A higher velocity on general means more distance and on some occasions, harder feel.
Note: Compression ratings are a largely over rated and debated issue on the net. For more clarification, check out my website for more details.
Most golf balls in the market are low compression ratings. These type of compression are suited for lower swing rate players to achieve a better distance.
4. Dimples – These are the small depressions on the golf balls which we so commonly see nowadays. These dimples improve the flight trajectory and enhances greater carry and distance. The difference between the dimples from one golf ball to another is the size and the depth. On a general guideline, a more shallow dimple from the appropriate depth will increase the height of trajectory and a deeper dimple will reduce the height trajectory. All affects the distance and type of ball roll you want to have after landing.
For a general guide, know the type of ball flight you currently have. If you have a low trajectory and you are playing a distance ball and wish to improve your distance, you might consider to change to a golf ball with shallower dimples for a improved distance performance.
With these information, you can equip yourself the skills in determine the feel, spin, distance, trajectory, tendency to side spin or hook, roll etc. These will aid you in selecting the golf balls best for you and your current level of skill.
For example, comparing golf ball A and B, you will know which one is harder on the outer casing when you read the technical specs. Surlyn cover compared with urethane cover will mean that the golf ball with surlyn cover is much faster in velocity on initial impact should all other factors remain constant.
However, there is still more into this than you think. Always think select the initial golf ball followed by optimize, tweak and upgrade to other golf balls as your game grows!

Being able to choose the right golf ball could be just what you need to turn an awful game to a wonderful one. However, it does not mean that you should just trot out and buy the golf ball that Tiger Woods uses to instantly turn you into a world champion. You would still need to choose the golf ball that would work for you.
The three different types of golf balls are: two-piece balls, three-piece balls and high performance balls.
If you wish to improve the distance shots you are making, you would need to use the two-piece golf ball. If you wish to improve your accuracy, then you might opt to use a three-piece golf ball or a high performance golf ball.
For beginners, two-piece golf balls would be more advisable as they are cheaper compared to the other golf balls. Also, two-piece golf balls would be great for those who are slow swingers since these balls have a larger rubber core, which would assure a faster speed.
For golfers whose accuracy is inconsistent, two-piece golf balls would also be the better choice, because three-piece golf balls just would not do if you would be making a couple of inaccurate hits in a game. Also, if you are still working on your precision, high performance balls would not be the best way to go as these balls would be more suitable for the professional golfers who have already mastered their games.
Golf balls are definitely something that you would need to give importance to as you learn more in golf and as you work on your skills to become better st your game. Being equipped with the right type of golf balls that would work to your advantage would definitely improve your score and eventually help you move on to the more competitive playing field.
