Does It Matter What Golf Ball You Use?



When it comes to improving your game, many players focus on their clubs or swing mechanics  and forget the difference that the humble golf ball can make. This blog post will discuss how to match your golf ball to your skill level so that you can get the most out of your game and improve your overall performance. Choose wisely and watch your skills improve!

Matching Your Golf Ball to Your Skill Level

In order to get the most out of your game, you need to choose a golf ball that complements your skill level. Whether you’re looking to reduce spin, maximise distance or improve your control, choosing the right ball for your game will make all the difference.

Beginners and High Handicappers

If you’re new to golf or have a high handicap, you are probably struggling with consistency and maximising distance off the tee. You will therefore benefit from a softer ball as this will help reduce spin while boosting your distance, keeping your shots on target. Finding a ball with less spin is also pretty handy if you’ve got a bad habit of losing balls while out on the green!

At gimmeballs, we have created a special variety pack just for high handicappers. The pack consists of 12 balls from 4 different brands so you can try golf balls with different feels, spin speeds and constructions until you find one that elevates your game!

Intermediate Golfers

If you have a mid-handicap, it is even more important that you find a ball that feels right and brings some consistency to your game. If you have previously only used balls with ionomer covers, it may be time to move onto a urethane-covered ball as this will produce a much greater grip from the grooves of your irons and wedges, resulting in more spin and control closer to the greens.

If your swing speed is over 100mph, opt for a firmer ball with a compression rating of 75+. If you have a slower swing speed, a lower compression rating would probably work better for you.

Low Handicap Golfers

If you’re a lower handicapper, you will know just how much choosing the right golf ball can impact your performance. When playing at a high level, the game comes down to small margins and choosing the right golf ball could be the difference between a bogey and a par.

Before you can decide what ball is best for you as a low handicapper, first you must figure out where your ball can help you the most, then find a ball that excels in that area. Low handicap golfers tend to be more suited to balls with harder cores as they allow for maximum spin control and lower spin on the driver.

Overall, low-handicap golfers need a ball that offers a good balance of distance, spin and control so they can finetune their game.
