Is there a big difference between all tour golf balls?
The differences may be small for low handicap players but substantial for tour players. For example if your maximum ball speed is 130mph you may not see too much difference in the spin, launch and distance with a number of different golf balls. Players with balls speed in excess of 170mph with see improvements far better, especially if they have access to golf ball data using a radar launch monitor.
All leading manufacturers offer tour golf balls for advanced players, and they sometimes have 2-3 ball options within their range. For example Callaway have launched the Chrome Tour and Chrome TourX golf balls alongside the Chrome Soft, which has been a very popular choice for a number of years. The spin rate, feel, launch are all different, and you can see this information on our website and on the manufacturers technical golf ball data.
Our tour golf balls range have been extensively developed by the manufacturers, who are constantly looking to improve the statistics of their golf balls, hoping to win tournaments for their players on tour.
Which is the best golf balls?
They are all excellent golf balls and there is NO ‘best’ golf ball to suit all golfers.
Some players create too much spin with a driver, irons etc. so they will benefit from a lower spin ball. Too much spin will result in less distance with a driver and irons, and the same for players that create not enough spin. Sometimes the golf balls spin can be perfect with a driver, but they may have the wrong spin rate with their short irons (wedges).
The launch (trajectory) will also effect the performance of a golf ball. Players that launch the ball too high or low should look for a golf ball that compliments their game. Playing conditions can also be a factor, as some golfers may prefer a lower launch golf ball in windy conditions.
The distance of a golf ball can vary slightly but the distance should be good if the golf ball has the correct trajectory and spin. The latest tour balls may travel further than standard ‘distance’ golf balls which are much cheaper, which is due to the research and development of the golf balls. The compression is important on tour golf balls. If the golfers swing speed is too low, they may not be able to compress the ball enough, and will lose distance.
Feel – This can be slightly different as some golf balls feel harder than others. This is not as important as the trajectory and spin, so sometimes you may have to settle with a softer or harder feel golf ball that has the perfect spin and trajectory for your game.
Colour and dimples – These are small factors that you should consider when purchasing a tour golf ball. Most manufacturers now produce a yellow tour golf ball, which is the no1 choice for senior golfers. White golf balls may vary in colour slightly, some are more ‘brilliant white’ than others.
The dimples may look similar but they can vary between brands. For example Callaway golf balls have HEX dimples which are unique to them, whereas as Titleist and Srixon produce golf balls with round dimples.
Marking on the golf balls can be another factor when choosing a golf ball. For example some golf balls have the ‘ball name’ on the side (ProV1 etc.) and others have the ball name and alignment aid (line, arrow etc.).
Some of the latest models also have lines around the ball to help with lining up on the tee and also on the green.
Spend some time researching and testing the correct golf ball for your game. If you’re unsure you could consider using a launch monitor during a golf lesson or a golf ball fitting. These are amazing at capturing the golf ball data, which includes launch, spin, direction, distance etc.
Whether you’re looking for affordability, durability, or premium features, we have a golf ball to suit your game.
