Many golfers spend a great deal of time choosing clubs, but often overlook one of the most important pieces of equipment in the game: the golf ball. This is the one bit of equipment that we use on every shot, and the type of ball you play can have a big impact on your distance, spin, feel, and consistency from tee to green.

Using the correct golf ball matters because different balls are designed to suit different swing speeds, playing styles, and performance preferences. A softer golf ball will give you a very different feel, flight, and spin than a firmer golf ball, but do you really know which golf ball suits you best?

Equally important is sticking with the same ball throughout your round. Switching between different types can make it harder to judge distances, control spin, and develop confidence in your game. Consistency with your golf ball choice leads to more confidence, more reliable results and ultimately a better overall performance.
