Selecting the Right Golf Ball

photo credit: lrargerich   There are four different types of golf balls:  (1)  The two piece – distance ball.  (2)  The two piece – low compression ball.  (3)  The multilayer ball with the ionomer cover.  (3)  The Multilayer ball with a polyurethane cover (Tour Players favorite).  Each ball behaves differently for various shots.

One of the favorite balls on the PGA Tour is the Titleist Pro V1 which is a multilayer ball.  The Pro V1 will give a player maximum spin which is desirable for all approach shots.  For most amateurs with swing speeds of 95 mph. or under, this type of ball may not give the same results.  Pro’s trap the ball between the clubface and turf for maximum backspin.  Ask your local pro for advice on choosing a ball for your game.
