Most balls available in the marketplace today fall into one of these three categories. Distance Enabling Balls, Control Enabling Balls and Spin Enabling Balls. The differences in their design characteristics may appear subtle, but when used according to your style and strengths, they can considerably enhance your performance. Thus, make sure you buy those balls that complement your game.
Distance Enabling Balls
These balls react quickly off the clubface for maximum speed and deliver greater distance. If you get an extra 15 yards off the tee with these balls, you’ll need a shorter shot with an iron to putt the ball. This will allow you to have greater control on the shot.
Control Enabling
These balls deter excessive spin. These are ideal for beginners especially if you have problems with hooking and slicing.
Spin Enabling
These balls generate as much backspin as possible, enabling higher trajectory in the air and better stopping ability on the ground. Spin Enabling Balls may help stop the ball closer to the hole on the third shot for players who cannot reach a par-4 in two shots. But if you cannot control the slices and hooks then don’t even try these balls.
