Finding the Best Golf Balls to Use for Different Club Speeds
There is no one golf ball that can be considered the “best” for every player. Different golfers have different needs and dialing in the right ball for your game becomes much easier when you put some advanced technology on your side. That technology is available at GolfCave, of course, allowing you to determine without any doubt what type of ball performs the best for your swing.
In this post, we’d like to discuss some of the basics regarding how you can use a tee time at GolfCave to help you figure out what ball should have a permanent place in your bag. Knowing you have leaned on science to pick the right ball, you can return to the course with confidence for your next round.
The Connection Between Golf Ball and Swing Speed
Different golf balls require different swing speeds in order to compress properly. In fact, this is such an important point that a compression rating used to be listed directly on some golf balls. While that is no longer common practice, it’s still important to pair your swing to a ball that will produce the best possible results.
Basically, if a golf ball is too hard to compress – too firm in the core – a player with a lower swing speed may struggle to reach their distance potential. And, on the other side of the spectrum, a player with a high swing speed who is using a soft ball may encounter extremely high spin rates and shots that float up into the sky. Without the right ball for the speed of your swing, optimal results will always be out of reach.
Do Some Testing
One of the tricky things about finding the right golf ball is the many variables that can come into play when testing them on the course. If you hit one ball farther than another, does that mean the ball is a better fit for your swing? Or did that shot just get a better bounce in the fairway? What about changing wind conditions? You can’t be too sure of anything when testing balls in the “real world”.
Fortunately, GolfCave offers a contained, protected environment with the latest technology in the industry to solve these problems. You can easily hit a variety of golf balls in front of our TrackMan monitors and get the data you need to determine which one works best for you. By the end of a session in one of our Caves, there won’t be any doubt in your mind and you can head back to the first tee with confidence.
