The Best Lady Golf Balls Reviewed 2015

The Wilson Hope 12 Ball Ladies Golf Balls come in a variation of colors (pink and white) and one of the striking features about the Hope golf ball is that a percentage of the purchase price goes directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. So not only do you get great soft-feel golf balls, you’re also supporting a valid and noteworthy charity organization.

Each ball is emblazoned with the pink Hope Ribbon on its side, showing commitment to the breast cancer cause.

The lady golf balls offered by Wilson are extremely powerful off of the club face. The pink tone makes spotting the golf balls extremely easy. These soft golf balls offer bigger distances than your usual golf balls - perfect indeed for the lady golfer.

These golf balls make an excellent addition to matching other pink colored golf equipment. The Wilson Hope lady golf ball also offers excellent performance during the hot summer months out on the golf course.

The Srixon Women's Soft Feel Golf Ball

Primarily designed for a faster club head speed of 70 mph plus the Srixon two-core ladies golf ball still offers fantastic value for money. Any lady golfer looking to gain distance with additional control would do well with this golf ball.

In fact the additional distance is what has made this golf ball so popular. Usual available in pure white these golf balls are a firm favorite with many lady golfers looking for a well built professional style golf ball.

The Volvik Crystal 3-piece Golf Ball 

The 3 piece tour standard golf balls are not only brightly colored (pink, orange, yellow, and green) but also offer such a dynamic range of reaction to club head speeds of between 60 and 95 mph (enough to suit most lady golf players).

These slow to medium gold head club speeds will allow any player to get unprecedented distance from the club of your choice.

In addition the softness and feel of these balls is something else around the surrounding green areas. Chipping and pitching control is boosted due to the soft feel of the golf ball upon club impact. Don’t be fooled by the colors – this is a serious golf ball!

3 Alternative Golf Balls to Try that Match the Titleist Pro V1

Having got to grips with the Titleist Pro V1 I decided it was time to look around and see if there were any alternative golf balls I should be using instead. This was not easy task as trying to beat the number one golf ball from my own personal rankings was difficult. I did however find a few real treasures in terms of driving distance, iron play, softness at the greens and putting to give Titleist a real run for its money.

Choosing a golf ball is always difficult. As a player though I know you must only ever use one type of ball. The amount of times I’ve seen players grab any old ball from their bag still shocks me. You see it’s all about consistency. Choose one golf ball and stick with it. This will rule out any X-Factor anomalies that can impact your game. Reduce the consistencies and golf gets easier! 

The Callaway HEX Warbird Golf Ball is a great choice in comparison to the Pro V1

Speed off the Club and Putting

It has a large soft core that means getting speed off of the driver and club face is phenomenal. The thin cover means it feels really soft which is essential when it comes to short-game green working. I wasn’t sure how it would putt though but its softness was a real delight as it seemed to gently compress off of the putter face. 

Low speed lift when coming off the club game me the confidence to go for the green knowing the Warbird would drop where I placed it.

HEX design is one of the key features of Callaway and I found the look and feel to be pleasing. The spin control on these balls was also very good especially when pitching in from 80 yards and less. 

The Callaway Supersoft

Heralded as the softest ball on the market with 35 compressions these squishy golf balls made me wonder – how could such a soft ball perform on the golf course? Well distance seemed great and the control off the iron clubs seemed amazing. I wish though that they were in white rather than fluorescent as I prefer a pure white golf ball. 

The super low spin dynamics made this ball fly very straight on tee shots and iron play. 

The Nike Golf 2013 Mojo

At first I thought these were too cheap to be any good. I mean how can you buy a 24 pack of golf balls for such a low price? However putting aside my economy versus quality consciousness I took a pack out for a round. When I took a Mojo out I looked at the logo and chuckled a little. It’s a great design and has a real 70’s feel if that’s your bag!

The Nike Mojo is a two piece ball that comes with a pre-printed alignment aid which is handy when you’re putting out. They felt great when chipping in shots and putting too. The soft exterior still felt comfortable when handling and flew very well off drives and iron shots. All-in-all not a bad golf ball which is perhaps aimed more at the amateur market than the other golf balls currently available. 

Before I can go I must give credence to Titleist Pro V1 as they remain outstanding golf balls. But with the other major brands competing for the number 1 position it can only be a matter of time until they’re eclipsed by more economically priced competitors.

Best Golf Balls 2014 Review and Picks - Bridgestone xFIXx

Bridgestone Golf seem to have the golf ball market head-on with familiar yet inspiring graphics in their determination to penetrate the ultimate billion dollar golf ball industry.

This review is without contemporary golfing bias but just serves as an honest insight into why this golf ball should sever you well during your rounds on the golf course. 

Picking the best golf ball is perhaps one of the most underrated aspects of golf today. Digest this review at your leisure. 

Firstly the E Series has dual dimple technology giving it unprecedented travel through the air and reducing airflow in contrast to many contemporary tour golf balls. Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker seem to favour the illustrious fresh design of Bridgestone golf balls. They have a brilliant range to choose from for 2013 including:

Tour B330

Tour B330-S

Tour B330-RX

Tour B330-RXS

E5

E6

E7

xFIXx

The elimination of seams and the implementation of SCT (Seamless Cover Technology) means the Bridgestone golf ball has no seams that can interfere with true dynamic air-flow around the golf ball during travel from the club face.

The less superior Bridgstone FIX - not as good as the e6

Bridgestone has been involved in golf ball design since 1935 and therefore has a very long pedigree when it comes to excelling in the golfing arena.

Best Golf balls and why you should always play the same brand

The idea of playing with a single brand of golf-ball may seem a bit excessive, however there are reasons and you will discover why choosing what ball to play with is an extremely important decision and I will explain why.

The golf ball has many variants but can be divided between professional and amateur. The amateur ball normally consists of 2 layers and a softer core, giving durability, lowering cost but sacrificing feel and responsiveness. The professional ball (80-mps + club head speed) has 3 layers and a more solid core – with a higher club head speed the ball can still reach incredible distances but has the advantage of being more responsive and softer around the green, especially with a lobbed or wedge club and generates more spin and precision.  

Nike 2014 Power Distance Long

I for example play with Titleist the Nike 2014 Power Distance Long golf ball, depending on what my American Golf shop can offer. To be honest I prefer this variation over the other Nike balls currently available. It's soft for me around the greens and I love putting with this ball. I will not mix up my balls; I only stick to one brand. The Nike Golf PD Long Power Distance is an excellent and affordable Golf Ball!

Now we have to be focused in golf and why I suggest you only use one brand of golf ball is as follows:

You will take away the chance of inconsistency in the game. There are already too many variations in the game, so why have balls that create another variation? Take for example 10 different balls and they will have varying degrees of different feel and technological innovations. If you use only one type of ball brand you will have produced the sought after keyword = consistency. Each ball will “FEEL” like the last.

Titleist Pro V1

I have used Pro V1 before and they handled well but were very fragile. These are Professional balls used the most in Major PGA Tours, but the Urethane Elastomer coating is so soft after a round the ball was in a poor condition. Now if you are a professional this is not a major concern for me the cost outweighs the advantages of this ball. I suggest the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball for it's superb softness and playability

 

For the amateur golfer I would recommend staying with one ball that you like the feel of, reduce a variation in your game and learn how the ball reacts over time. The idea of golf is to strive for consistency, so make your ball selection consistent too.
