Comparing Golf Ball Types

golfballsGolf, just like any other physical sport, is a game that requires both accuracy and precision in order for you to excel in it. In order for you to score a hole in one, which is the best possible score that you can achieve, you are going to need to exhibit the most concentration and mental strength possible. Furthermore, you are going to need to be able to match your own skills and golf experience with the quality of your golfing equipment and accessories, and the golf balls that you are going to use will be no exception to the rule.

If you are not a golf aficionado, then one golf ball may seem just the same as other golf balls. The brand name or manufacturer name may seem different, but all the balls look and feel the same. The truth is, golf balls are capable of differing in many more ways and this is something that you are going to need to consider if you want to improve your game. In other words, if you are serious about improving your golf game, then you are really going to need to pay attention to the different types of golf balls, the different covering materials, the different core structures and the different compression rates that golf balls offer.

Types of golf balls include two piece golf balls and three piece golf balls. If you are just beginning to play the game of golf, then two piece golf balls are probably the best option for you. They are the cheapest type of golf balls available on the market and they are also aimed at providing a large amount of distance. On the other hand, there are three piece golf balls, which are ideal for more advanced players that have mastered the control of the ball. Once you have mastered consistency in your swing and golfing capabilities, you should graduate to the three piece golf ball as it offers a much better quality game.

Golf ball coverings are another consideration that you want to make. There are a myriad of different types of coverings for golf balls, but the two most popular that you are going to encounter are Balata and Surlyn. Balata golf balls are typically three piece golf balls, and they are soft covered balls. Surlyn balls are better suited for amateur golfers because they are two-piece balls, much harder in nature and also they tend to be significantly cheaper as well.

Finally, you should consider compression rate when it comes to your golf balls. Low compression balls are soft and can become compressed or deformed easily when they are hit. Medium compression balls are soft, generally easy to control and do not deform or compress quite as easily. High compression balls are hard and tend to be a lot less likely to deform when they are struck in comparison to low compression rate balls. They are the ideal balls for people who have high speed club heads.

Are Online Reviews a Good Tool for Golf Equipment Purchasing?

When it comes to spending money, trial and error is the most common method of making purchases, and yet it can be a giant pain and can cause more harm than good. There is a better way to go about things when it comes to making purchases you are unsure about, and golf equipment is no exception to the rule. If you are looking for assistance in making golf equipment purchases, unbiased golf equipment reviews can be an indispensable tool. Before you leave the home or log in to your favorite golf equipment shop online, you should take the time to shop around and look for unbiased reviews. This will save you from spending unnecessary money by giving you a feel for what other people are saying about the equipment that you are interested in buying.

The first thing to understand is how to tell which reviews are biased and which are unbiased. The ideal golf review website is one that is run by someone who is serious about golf; a golfaholic if you will. This is someone who knows the game both inside and out, and has dedicated their time and effort to learn how to write and run an excellent website on the subject.

The website that you turn to for unbiased reviews on golf equipment, and other golf topics for that matter, should be informational, full of reference material that is factual rather than serving as an advertisement for a product, service, golf course or something else all together. A website like this should be full of factual information about the game of golf, including its history, and plenty of information about equipment, shows, carts, tournaments, courses and more.

Important reviews will not only tell you why a certain golf ball flies further than others, but it will also tell you about the technology that makes that happen so you understand why the equipment is better rather than just that it is. This is the best way to make sure a review is unbiased.

Another place to go for unbiased golf equipment reviews is magazines dedicated to this popular spectator sport. If you want to see what the pros are using and recommend, or want to see what the editors of the golfing magazines have in mind, magazines are a good place to look. Don't trust the ads, and don't simply buy the first thing endorsed by a PGA Tour pro, but instead, weigh your options, take in reviews from different sources, and make educated decisions accordingly.

If you want to get the most out of reviews on golf equipment, don't trust someone saying that something is better than something else, unless they explain why. Saying that one golf bag is better than another means nothing, unless you back it up with good reason, such as because it is lightweight but sturdy and can carry more clubs than most other bags. Who cares if one golf club is touted to be better than the other available brands, unless you can find out exactly what gives it that extra power or control? When you understand why something is better suited for you from a review, that is when you can make an educated decision about its purchase.

How to Fix Your Slice

Out of all of the mistakes you can make out on the course, a slice is probably the most common. This refers to a ball that goes to the right after you hit it, usually right into a nice stand of trees or a nearby water hazard. A slice is devastating to your game, and fixing it can be a little complicated. Here are some great tips to help you get over your slicing problem and get your score back on track.

One of the first things that many golfers try to eliminate their slice is to angle their body to the left. This is a natural compensation, and logically, you would think that it would work. However, this is a huge mistake and can actually result in slicing worse than before. Your stance may need a little work, but aiming the wrong way is not going to be very helpful.

To correct this, stand in front of your golf ball, without your club. This is an exercise that will help you get aligned properly. We’ll be adding the club in a second, but first, you need to focus on your feet and your hips. Your feet should be facing perfectly forward and should be slightly apart. As a result, your hips should also be facing the same direction.

If you notice that you’re leaning a little bit, or that your hips are not perfectly in line with your feet, bring them into line. Now, put your arms into position for your shot. If your hips move, correct them. Pretend that you are swinging your club back and again, mentally check the position of your hips. Correct them if necessary.

Repeat this until your hips are no longer pulled in the wrong direction. Once you’ve got it down, add the club back into the equation and start again. Get the feel of the right body position down until it comes absolutely naturally. This is a good exercise that you can do at home, in your backyard or even in your living room. The key is finding that “sweet spot” when your posture comes together and everything just feels right.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s look at some common swing issues that can exacerbate a slice. The most common problem occurs when you actually hit the ball. Instead of following through, you may pull up. This force sends the ball careening in the wrong direction.

To fix this, practice your downswing and don’t stop when you get to your golf ball. Keep the club traveling in the exact same direction for a few more inches. You’ll be using that force to literally guide the ball in the proper direction. Work on this until you have your club going perfectly straight in the right direction.

With a little practice and using these tips, you can cure even the nastiest slice and make it a lot easier to get a better score during your next round of golf.

Just Hit It: Our Equipment and Our Game By Frank Thomas With Jeff Neuman


Over the past few years, the amount of new courses in America has been dwarfed by the amount of courses that are closing. While the sport isn't close to dying anytime soon, many are starting to see some warning signs that the industry may be struggling. There is a lot of finger pointing, but the majority of it seems to be centered on the manufacturer's of golf equipment. While this may seem a bit odd, many believe that since new clubs that promise better scores come out every year, consumers are hesitant to plunk down a lot of cash on something that may be outdated within a few months.

This raises another big issue in the sport - do these clubs really work and can you buy hope? The answer is usually a no. While these clubs may help improve your game a little bit, you're not really addressing the problem and all too often, the results are nothing by disappointment in more hype. This leaves many players the choice of either becoming better or just quitting the sport. As this title of this book indicates, the author wants consumers to just forget all about this hype and hit the ball.

When it comes down to it, the only thing that can make you a better player is practice. Sure, you can buy that fancy new driver, but if you think it's going to turn you from a 150 yarder to a 400 yarder overnight, you are sadly deceived. We are all limited by our physical make-up and prowess, and no club is going to be able to change that. However, with time and practice, you can become a better player and at the very least, a more consistent one.
This book does a good job at addressing the new kinds of equipment that are being released and their strengths and weaknesses. New materials and designs are discussed as well as how they will affect our games. The author covers the evolution of the new clubs and in some cases, proves that the old stand-bys were actually better for our games. Also on tap is a discussion on the evolution of the golf ball and whether or not this is also a contributing factor in the way we play.

The author's viewpoints, statements, and actions as the former USGA technical director have even resulted in litigation (now resolved) by the golf equipment manufacturers. We recommend this book simply because it offers an interesting viewpoint and some much needed discussion into the phenomenon of golf club evolution. You may not agree with the author, but it is an interesting read. He certainly has a gift for making even complex issues easy to understand and the book is very well written.

If you are interested in golf equipment and finding which materials and clubs really do deliver on their promises, this book is well worth the purchase price.
