The Golf Ball

The golf ball is the most important item you need to play a round, some players may only need 1 to play a round while others will need more then 6!!! Golf balls vary now a days to what kind of stats the player need from a ball that spins a lot or a ball that doesn't spin a lot but the golfer can have better control over the shape of the ball flight.  

There are loads of brands that supply golf balls but each brand has more then just 1 type of ball, they have over 4 types. The top 5 brands for golf balls are Titleist, Callaway, Nike, TaylorMade and Bridgestone. 

Today the Number one ball is the Titleist Pro V1 Which costs 60 euro for 12 golf balls. This is very expensive for only 12 golf balls which you could buy 12 of any other brand for as little as 12 euro. so what makes the Titleist pro V1 different from others? well the Pro V1 has a high spin rate which means the ball will spin more which will make the ball stop more around the greens. The ball also has a soft shell which has a soft touch when you hit the ball with irons and wedges!!! But there is also a Pro V1X ball which has not as high of a spin rate, higher ball flight, less role out and also still has good control around the green but it doesn't have a softer shell then the Pro V1.

Here is a short video of a Titleist ball being made...
