• Golf Ball Distance Comparisons

Best golf balls for distance and accuracy in 2019 from the top brands like Callaway, Titleist and TaylorMade. Check out the Srixon Z-Star XV Golf Balls if you want a comparison from the same. The only other distance charts on the web (where you can put in your driver carry, or 5i distance, and they output the rest of the clubs) were just way too volatile, and seemed to have exponential differences in there, i.e. If I put in a 250 carry drive / 185 5i, which puts me right around the Sr. Tour distances, they would always have my PW.

In choosing the right golf ball, we believe that golfers should look for a ball that is right for their unique game – and consider trading off objectives such as driver distance, sand wedge spin and feel on and around the green. Golf balls will perform differently for different types of golfers given the golfer’s swing type and their own unique mix of ball speed launch angle and ability to spin and control the golf ball.

Professional Golf Ball Engineer Director of Swing Instruction, Instant Golf® Welcome to a season of great golf, wherever you are playing in 2017 and beyond. By requesting this report you are most likely looking to answer the question: 'What's a great golf ball for my game?' First off, it's important to think of any golf ball you tee up as a game improvement ball, whether you are a 30 or +3 (breaking par) handicap golfer. Your golf ball should maximize your potential, not work against it. As a professional golf ball engineer, I have designed balls for golfers ranging from top touring pros to high handicap golfers. Whichever category you find yourself in, I can tell you that it is very important to define what the proper ball should be doing for your game.

Interestingly, the goal is quite similar for golfers at both extremes of the skill and experience scale. You should be using a product that allows you to maximize driver distance for your Swing Speed (SS) while controlling any unintended side spin (slice, hook, etc.). You also want a ball with good green side and putting performance for your short game improvement.

Now, the average PGA pro driver swing speed is 112 mph, the average handicap golfer's swing speed is about 83 mph. So immediately we can see the need for the wide range of golf ball constructions to accommodate the higher collision speed of the pros, not to mention their different spin requirements to hit all those high skill level shots you watch on the weekends. If you watched Jordan Spieth's brilliant win at the 2017 Open Championship, Sergio Garcia's breakthrough at The Masters, or Brooks Koepka's domination at the U.S. Open, you witnessed top players getting everything out of their abilities, swing speeds, and equipment. In fact, at only about 5'9', Sergio Garcia defies logic with his prodigious driving distance as evidenced by his 301 yard driving average during the 2017 Masters including a 376 yard blast on the 9th hole en route to his emotional win. Regardless of the balls the professionals use, they also have a few tricks up their sleeve to maximize distance not only off the tee but off the rest their clubs.

Due to the amount of notes I get from determined golfers who are looking for more distance without swinging harder, I just completed a new Special Report I think you will find facinating. It's based on something I discovered while working with top PGA and Champions Tour pros as they tested new ball designs. I urge you to request this new report below while it is available on this page and study the images therein as you will be able to put this simple tip into use this weekend or the next time you play or practice. Get the Special Report here. Most importantly, you must be using a golf ball designed for your swing speed, side spin issues, equipment, goals, etc.

Of these 3 factors, by far the most important for golfers is to Maximize the Compression of the core of the golf ball in order to take advantage of the maximum spring effect of today's incredible drivers. Think of the core as The Engine of a golf ball. A car doesn't move until the engine is engaged.

In a similar fashion, a golf ball doesn't fly until the core of the ball is engaged. The core gives life to the total ball construction. The ability to which you can engage the core with the club face determines how fast the ball leaves the club face, ultimately resulting in either optimal distance or poor distance for your swing speed (SS).

In fact, if you are not maximizing the compression of the golf ball given your specific swing speed, then you will not come close to benefitting from the fantastic engineering and performance built into today's golf balls. Look at the golf ball and its blue inner core in the picture below.

It is hardly being deformed and retains most of its circular shape. Maximum energy is not being transferred to the core.

The result is a loss of distance and poor spin control: The ball in the picture below is being compressed much more efficiently! Look at the deformation in that core. This golf ball is ready to explode off the face of that club powered by the core (the engine). You can be sure the difference in distance will be dramatic compared to the first inefficient hit ( even if both swing speeds are identical). So It is critical that every golfer compresses the golf ball to the full extent of their swing speed.

Compress the core, maximize your momentum transfer through that core, watch your distance jump dramatically. Power leaks in the downswing and through impact are the biggest reasons for loss of distance potential.

It can't be overstated (more on this later). Now let's look at the types of Golf Balls on the market today and their constructions: Golf Ball Constructions 2 Piece Balls 3-5 Piece Balls. Large Rubber Core. Cover (ionomer or urethane).

Core (single or dual rubber core). Mantle or boundary layer (in green). Cover (ionomer or urethane) A few quick definitions:. Ionomer is a thermoplastic (plastic) material that is durable, resistant to cutting, and versatile. Urethane is a rubber material used for covers. It is very soft, but typically not as durable as ionomer.

Mantle or inner layers lie between the core and the cover. They give ball engineers another variable that can be used to optimize the performance of the golf ball. 2 Piece Golf Balls: In general terms, 2 piece balls are your distance balls. They come in different compressions from very soft to higher compressions (typically used in long drive competitions). Because they are made from 2 components, a core (engine) and a cover, they are less costly than the other, more elaborate constructions. 2-Piece golf balls are also lower spinning, which is a blessing and a curse!

Off the tee, the low initial spin reduces hook and slice spin, a great benefit. However, on approach shots and green side, the firmer covers and lower spin can be challenging.

This is one of the reasons you don't see the pros using 2-P balls, even though under some circumstances, they may be longer off the tee. 3-5 Piece Golf Balls: There are almost limitless possibilities when a construction has this many components. These multi component constructions vary from 3-Piece hybrid balls (plastic covered) to premium, 'Tour Balls'. The latter have very soft urethane covers for enhanced greenside feel, responsive mantle layers, and variable compression (soft or firm) cores. 4-5 piece balls are typically for players with higher swing speeds that generate higher spin. The additional layers allow for a more optimal ball flight to counteract the traditional effects of excessive spin. They also reduce the spin off the driver for maximum distance.

Airlink 101 usb serial adapter driver windows 7.

Additional mantle or casing layers (compared to 2-3 balls) also enable engineers to maximize performance across a wider range of clubs in the bag. Hence, each ball component may affect individual club performance optimally (an added luxury). The manufacturing process is more intricate and the urethane cover material is costly, hence the price jump for this category of balls. Yet, for the players that they benefit, they are worth every penny.

So what kind of golfer are you? Golf ball selection should begin with an honest assessment of your game and your goals. Let's look at some categories: Novice or Inconsistent Golfer If you are new to the game or have been playing for some time but still have inconsistency then this is your category. Your misses may consist of frequent slices, hooks, topped shots, pushs and pulls, etc. Your score is typically 97 or greater for 18 holes and your handicap is over 20 (about 50% of recreational golfers fall in this category).

To reduce some of that unintended side spin and compress the ball more efficiently, then you can benefit from a lower spinning, 2 piece golf ball. Since your goal is to compress the ball most efficiently for your swing speed, 2 piece balls come in a variety of ball compressions. Recommended 2 Piece Golf Balls for Moderate/Slower Swing Speeds (90 mph): Srixon Q Star. New model with more distance and accuracy off the tee. Large Energetic Gradient Growth™ core for more Ball Speed. Soft Pana-Tetra enhanced Ionomer cover for excellent feel.

Spinskin™ proprietray cover coating for greenside control. Titleist NXT Tour S. New Design with high velocity, low spin core. Low spin construction for straighter ball flight. Soft feeling Fusablend cover with great durability.

Trademarked alignment aid (double arrow) side stamp. Bridgestone e5. A soft 2 piece distance ball with great greenside control. The only 2 piece, urethane (like a Tour ball) covered product. Golf Digest 'Hot List' award winner. Dimple design promotes shallow ground attack angle for incseased roll.

Intermediate Golfer You are fairly accomplished but suffer from the occasional big number (a 7 or 8). You're basically a par and bogey golfer with an occasional birdie. Your scores range from the higher 80's to the mid 90's. You have a pretty good handle on your game and are looking to become a little more consistent in order to shoot in the 80's consistently and begin to flirt with the 70's. At this level you have a decent handle on your side spin. You have a basic shot shape (straight, fade, or draw) on your base 'good' shot.

This means you are beginning to control the spin of the ball. Therefore, you can benefit from a ball with higher spin, particularly on shots into the green. You would benefit from a 3 Piece Ionomer covered golf ball. This category of ball, hybrids, will afford great distance with a bit more iron and greenside spin. Recommended 3 Piece Ionomer (soft plastic) Covered Golf Balls: Titleist NXT Tour. Updated with new multi-layer (2 piece) core. Longer distance with great forgiveness on mishits.

Shot stopping short game control like more expensive balls. Trademarked alignment aid (double arrow) side stamp. Srixon TriSpeed. Tour Spin Performance in a premium 3-P construction.

Low compression Energetic Gradient Growth™ Core. Softer feeling ball construction ( 64 compression).

High launch, low spin for extreme distance. Bridgestone e6. 3-Piece multilayer performance with soft surlyn cover. Dual dimple design promotes more roll on ground contact. Inner layer reduces hook and slice spin for straighter shots. Golf Digest 'Hot List' award winner.

Skilled Golfer You are a skilled golfer and have a handle on most aspects of the game. Your handicap is. 'First ever even par round' 'Hi Robert, I just wanted to pass on that over the last few weeks I have being playing better and better, until the peak which was just yesterday. I played at a local course and for the first time in my life I shot under 80, and not just under. I hit 38, 36. A day of firsts, first ever even par round, first time in the 70's, 4 birdies, just an all round amazing result. I owe a fair bit of it to you as I am adhering strictly to your teaching.

Thanks again and best regards, Dale N. Maylasia P.S. I have just received 2 dozen (name removed) golf balls, the ball you recommended for my game (although the score yesterday was with a (name removed), needless to say I'm starting to love this ball quite a lot) and the next time out I intend to try this ball. I'll check in with you early in the new year to see if there is anything else that you recommend.' 'your instruction clears the head' Robert, 'I am sure you have received many testimonials in the past but how many within the first few hours.

I purchased & read your e-book this morning - as usual, after reading I needed to go to the practice range to see if it at least worked sometimes for me before committing any further time - patience is not one of my virtues. Whilst I hit the ball well & hit what I was aiming at most of the time that is not the reason for this reply. For the first time in my 40 years of golf I felt & knew at the top when I was in a good position to hit the ball solidly & could predict the outcome from the top of my swing. In short, thank you - I now have the new sensation of the correct feeling at the top - golf is not a game of perfect but given 5 minutes practice I am convinced that 'simple' is the answer for the amateur/social golfer to play good golf without hitting hundreds of balls per day. your instruction clears the head of the thousand thoughts that ruin scores & a good day out with the boys. I started a skeptic who expected the same rehash of information, instead I am pleasantly surprised.' - Australia Same day, dramatic improvement.
