How To Do A Golf Ball Comparison Accurately.

September 27, 2009 by admin

When they say there are no two golf balls that are exactly the same, they really mean it. Golf ball comparison is a mean skill and a survivor tool for the golfers' of modern times. Every single golf ball are manufactured to exact details that will fit a certain type of golfer. For the past recent months, people have been comparing golf balls in a very unfair way. To really get the best out of your game or even as a golf ball reviewer, let us put these golf balls on a fair light.

In the market, the golf balls can be differentiated into 3 different types. The 2 piece golf balls, they are made up with a solid core with a cover, are normally termed or recognized as the distance golf balls. They are generally in the lower compression range. There is also the 3 piece golf balls that have an extra mantle layer for added distance, control and spin. Not forgetting the 4 piece golf balls with dual core technology and some come with a feel mantle to provide a better touch off all clubs.

I have seen people making comparisons between Bridgestone e 5+ and Titleist Pro V1 and giving comments how Pro V1 is better than the e 5+. It is really like comparing an apple to an orange. There is no doubt that Pro V1 is a good 3 piece golf ball but if you would want to compare a 2 piece to a 3 piece golf ball, you are making an absolute unfair comparison.

To do a golf ball comparison accurately, we must remind ourselves of the following factors.

1. The golf ball category - Is this golf ball in the same category as the other? Taking a 2 piece vs a 4 piece, it would make an unfair comparison.

2.The target player profile - What kind of player profile is this golf ball situated for? If it is suited for a player with high swing speed, it would be natural for it to have a firmer core for more explosive reaction and compressibility. To compare it to a golf ball that is targeted for lower swing speeds, you are going to miss out on the opportunity what the golf ball might provide for you.

3. The value - As golf is an expensive game, the game play the golf ball provide for it's target audience must match the price that it is being sold for. If i can get a better playing golf ball in the same category that delivers the same playing option compare to another golf ball for a better price,
1000
definitely it would be more worth while.

Let us look into what you need as a golfer and what the golf ball provides to you. Every golf ball is good in it's own way and let us evaluate them fairly instead of giving critical comments based on your own personal preference. I am sure you will be able to compare them better and give a fairer review for the golfing community.
