imageGolfers who have a swing which is tour like will swing 110 mph and higher. These golfers have the ability to compress their drives and long irons. They usually benefit more from using the softer ball.

Some of these golfers use a three or even a four-piece ball which allows them to generate around the greens easily. This category of a ball can be found as the Bridgestone Tour B330 Series, Nike One series, Callaway Tour series, TaylorMade TP, Titleist Pro V1, and more.

Another consideration you will find with balls is the price. The softer the ball is and the more pieces will be more expensive. These multiplayers can cost more than $40 while the two-piece balls can run around $20.

When choosing a golf ball you should consider a few things. You may lack distance in your play because you are using the incorrect type of golf ball. The softer and more expensive golf balls are for the professionals who can swing the club over 100 mph.

You might reckon the most expensive is always the best but if you are not one of the best they will not help you. The best ball for a slow swinger are the cheaper two-piece golf balls. They will help you add distance to every long shot.

Stick with me and you will shortly be learning more about improving your game. In the next few articles we will go on and start talking about which clubs to use. We are navigating slightly complicated territory so you will want to pay attention and pick up as much information as you can.

Golf Ball Review – Titleist NXT Tour golf ball™
imageBall Reviewed: Titleist NXT Tour

Details: Advanced, multi-layer construction, with a new Tour-proven, higher coverage dimple design and Staggered Wave Parting Line provide longer, more consistent distance.

Summary: The Titleist NXT Tour golf balls provide optimum distance and spin properties. The soft feel of the golf ball aids in putting and ball striking. The sleek design and hardy cover enables the golf ball to be used for a whole round, without replacement.

Pros: Like all the Titleist golf balls, they are an engineering marvel and every time i play with one they amaze me. As stated in the summary the Titleist NXT Tour golf balls provide the golfer with a moderately soft feeling golf ball which aids in putting and workability due to ball striking. they also have the tendancy, when hit right, to spin more than expected, which is a bonus if you have to stop the ball on quick and dry greens. The durablility of this golf ball is incredible, ive gone through numerous rounds with just one Titleist NXT Tour golf ball and at the end of each game, the ball shows minimal marks of play. Brilliant!!!.

Cons: The only con i have with this ball is when i hit and it goes in the water. It’s my fault, but these balls ar they excellent, i hat when i loose them.

Customer Service and Cost: I buy these balls from my local golf club, Caboolture Golf Club for AUS $5 per ball. Five dollars per ball is a small price to pay for such a fantastic ball. For price, even though i would prefer the Titleist Pro V1, i use the Titleist NXT Tour golf ball as the price is substanially lower. The customer service at Caboolture Golf Club is impeccable and i will always go back there.

The golf ball retriever, primarily used for (as the name conveys) retrieving golf balls comes in a variety of different designs for reaching effectively into unreachable hazards such as ponds, lakes or creeks.  As golfers can be picky about their tools of the trade, golf ball retrievers have also adapted with technology.  If you are one these picky golfers you may want to first shop around and try a few before purchasing one.  The average ball retriever should be a retractable pole with a claw type end that extends to reach at least eight or ten feet and once retracted shrink small enough to comfortably ride in your golf bag.  Some can be found to even fit in a pocket of your golf bag.

The use of a golf ball retriever is rather straight forward.  A golf accessory usually kept in the golf bag in case of the unfortunate circumstance that a water hazard is encountered it is one that may not always see that much use.  You may also be the type of golfer who does not carry one at all which is not found to be an uncommon practice, some view simply carrying one as a terrible omen.

In such scenarios that a water hazard or other unreachable area is hit, the golf ball retriever can be extended and locked into place at the desired length.  Once the head of the ball retriever is close the stranded golf ball a gentle sweeping motion should eventually pick up the golf ball onto the end of the pole.  Depending on water flow, level of patience and the steadiness of hand this endeavor can sometimes turn into a lengthy process.

The five minute rule that applies when locating lost golf balls should also be applied to this situation especially be at busy times of the day.  Once the ball is carefully brought from the water always remember to pick up the ball retriever and any clubs you may had with you, place them back in your golf bag and continue on with you round.

The best advice to avoid slowing play while retrieving a lost golf ball is to abide by the mentioned five minute rule, let a group waiting behind play through while you look or simply play an ancient ball on holes where you may encounter a hazard.  Although most golfers want to say that do not need a ball retriever in their bag most golfers also see a water hazard every couple rounds.
