When people are looking to improve their golf game, they often look at the choice of drivers and clubs, but just as important can be the ball that is used. It may seem insignificant, but it isn’t, and can make a huge difference in your game, and be relatively inexpensive as well.

Balls come in different types, known as two piece (rubber core, with a plastic covering), and three piece, (rubber core, surrounded by plastic, then covered in soft rubber material). The three piece balls are often chosen for players with low handicaps and consistent swinging. The two piece balls can help out players that have a higher handicap, since these balls tend to have less spin.

Other characteristics that can influence the quality of your game are the dimple patterns on the ball, as well as the spin rate in each ball. The best way to find the ball that fits your playing style is to test it. You’ll be able to tell in a relatively short time whether or not the ball is right for you. Finding the right ball can result in better performance, and might even lower your score, helping you to enjoy your game more.
