Use A Better Golf Ball To Improve Your Handicap

There are many ideas about how to reduce your golf handicap. But the quickest and least expensive for some golfers is using the longest distance golf balls. But note that legal USGA golf balls have a maximum distance of 278 yards under controlled test conditions.

It is obvious that modern technology,  can already provide golf balls that may go much farther than the USGA distance limit. This explains why most of the best golf balls so easily go to 255 yards - the farthest Noodle +, traveled 259 yards. The shortest ball, Nike One Platinum, traveled 240 yards - sacrificing distance for control and precision.

Question should  you use the Noodle + or Platinum? If you're into course  management, you should probably use a ball such as a Platinum. As an amateur, you probably will not get more than one or two extra yards with the noodle +. But the increased accuracy and control of a Platinum could probably save you a lot of strokes on the short game. Consider the statistics on which clubs are used in a normal game of golf  - 30% to 40% puts, 10% to 20% driver, 15% to 20% wedges.

CNN's Golf Labs actually tested, 54 golf balls from the top 12 producers. They used a machine to perform a normal golf ball swing speed of amateur golfers with perfect golf swing mechanics. The lab has discovered that the best models of golf ball produced by any of these 12 companies have very similar performance. Their greatest distance, roll-plus flight, inclusive were all within 10 yards of each other. The biggest difference is in relation to the control of the ball. The ball with the shortest distance, the Nike One Platinum, is used by Tiger Woods, because it gives hlm maximum control. This ball, gets the maximum control and precision in his short game, which allows him to win his many titles.

FYI, here is a list of 12 golf ball manufacturers, in no particular order:
Titleist, Top, hBridgestone, Regulatory, Callaway, Top-Flite, Nike, Srixon, TaylorMade, Noodles, Volvik, Wilson.

The problem with using one of the top golf balls is the high price. At the time of writing, a quick search on Amazon shows a dozen balls that cost at least  £19. Many of them actually cost more - about £25. Wilson's staff fifty  going to 250 yards, costs £15. I shudder at the thought of losing balls in the rough or water.

On the other hand, there is nothing that prevents you from buying used golf balls. Modern golf balls are extremely durable and can  be used for many games. You can even find them on Amazon - Titleist NXT Tour, which travels 254 yards, on sale at £37 for 36 balls. that's about £12 per dozen balls. For a little more risk, you can get even better deals on Ebay. With these recycled long distance golf balls  you will be able to get lots of practice to improve your golf swing techniques.

It 'clear that many companies produce  long distance golf balls. Each of these golf balls are good, but expensive. You can get good deals on used balls still in good condition, and these certainly help to reduce your handicap in golf. You need to experiment with different balls, to find out whether it is worth it to compromise a few yards for better accuracy.

How To Use Your New Golf Clubs

It is not difficult to start noticing differences between golf clubs when you acquired the skills to get the ball airborne. Under the rules of golf, a golfer is permitted to carry 14 clubs. From these 14 golf clubs the golfer can decide which to carry it is entirely up to the golfer?

The best golfers generally transport the same golf clubs each week, but they also have a few golf clubs, they vary depending on the golf course and its characteristics. A different golf course, can cause a golfer to add an extra wedge, or an extra long iron such as a 1 or 2 iron or even an extra wood such as a  5 OR 7 wood.

High-caliber golfers know it pays to spend a little time finding the combination of golf clubs that will allow them to play all the shots that golf requires. After mastering the golf club selection, a new golf challenge is to understand the different ways, some golf clubs affect the golf ball.

A new golfer can find 14 golf clubs a bit too much to carry. So to begin with, a short set consisting of two woods, four or five irons and a putter is about right. It is always important to find out as quickly as possible what the different golf clubs do to the golf ball so you can understand the reasoning behind carrying 14 golf clubs.

As a general rule, the lower the golf club number, the lower the trajectory of the golf ball through the air and the longer the travel. This concept applies to both irons and woods. The wedge golf club gives the golf ball its highest trajectory and shortest flight path and the most spin. Spin makes the golf ball stop abruptly, as it lands.

When you move to lower numbered golf clubs the ball flight will be longer and lower, and the ball will spin much less. A 5 or 7 wood golf club can replace the lowest numbered iron clubs as wooden golf clubs are generally easier to use.

When you go to lower-numbered wooden golf clubs towards the driver, the ball  travels lower and farther. The driver golf club is used mostly off the tee box. However,  good golfers can use it from the fairway, if the lie is good and they want to hit a golf ball as far as possible. As you progress, you should learn how far you can hit the ball with each golf club in your golf bag.

The golf club selection is made when preparing for the shot. While preparing to shoot, you should stand behind the golf ball and gather as much information as needed to determine the lie of the golf ball, and note the wind, and is it wet or dry playing conditions? How is the landing area? You have to seriously consider these factors in choosing the right golf club to play.

My Reason For Starting This Blog

   The reason I have started this blog about golf is because I want somewhere to concentrate the information I acquire, this is so that I  can easily find the information later.  Also it might help others who are as inexperienced at the game of golf  as I am too Improve.

   I have been interested in golf for many years but have never had the time to get really involved in it until now. This blog will have links to other sites that I think have helped me and therefore could help you if you are also new to the game of golf.

   This blog is not only for the beginner but hopefully will have much information about the game of golf that will be helpful for the more experienced golf player.  One article that I came across put golf "addicts" into three groups. They are:

• Hackers - This group are not interested in improving  their game but more involved with the social scene around the game of golf. Don't take the game seriously at all. 

• Duffers -This group carry a double digit handicap and are trying to improve their game but are inconsistent. They enjoy the outdoor experience and take the game seriously. They have more skill than the hacker but less than the player.

• Players - This group carry a single figure handicap and can really play golf consistently well. They are still trying to improve their game and have mastered most of the shots.

I think that you can now see what group you belong to I must place myself in the Duffers group as I have not got the skill required to be a player.  I hope I can bring some useful snippets of information to you even if it's only to give you a laugh.

The comment about being addicted to golf was made, because, I have come across it on a few occasion's that golf addiction can be as strong as drug addiction but thankfully not so disastrous, and positively beneficial when it comes to our health?
