Complexity of Golf Balls




     Way back when in golf there was only one type of ball. It was a simple game. Now a days that has completely changed. There are so many different types of balls out there it's ridiculous. They are all made and meant for different style of players. So lets say you are a golfer and you have a strong drive and that's what you focus on when you play. You would want to use a ball that is made to help you go longer distance off of your drive. So there's a ball that Titleist made that is called Velocity. It's meant for people that have a powerful drive off the tee so they can play a short iron shot to the green. They just made this ball not to long ago, and I have not tried it out yet. I don't really know if I am willing to drop $33 on them though.
     Now if driving is not your game, you're more of a iron kind of player. Don't worry, there is a ball just for you. Another Titleist because I don't know a whole lot of other ones, it's the Titleist Pro V1x. This ball is meant for low long shots and a softer feel and drop, with good greenside control. I haven't tried this ball as well. Mainly because this ball wouldn't fit my game. Also the fact that it's way more than I would ever spend on a box of balls.
     If you want a ball that has a lot of spin so you can control your shots on the green then I got the ball to fit that. This one is a Taylormade. The ball is called Project (a). This ball is meant for this mid handicapped players who want to play better. It is a extreme spin and has a softer outer core so it'll drop nice and easy once it hits the green.

Now lets get to the ball I use, because I know all of you have been wondering what this pro uses. Well the ball I use is called Noodle. Yes it is called that, which is one of the reasons why i play with that one. The real reason is because I don't have a really straight drive most of the time so the Noodle ball I use is supposed to keep my ball straight and have it go a long distance. So that's my favorite ball to use. I also do like to use the Titleist NXT  Tour which almost has the same concept. The stupid thing is I haven't even scratched the surface of all the golf balls you can play with. All are meant for different players.
