Top 6 Golf Balls in Golf.....

Golf Digest did extensive research to find the best golf balls available worldwide over the price of $35.00  Below is a summary of their results and photos used for each type of golf ball.

Bridgestone B 330/S/ RX/RXS

This line has introduced two different golf balls which has to do with your swing speed.  Swing speeds of less than 105 mph: is recommended the low-spinning RX for the distance and the soft RXS for your greenside spin.

For swings of 112 mph or more the B330S complements your swing speed the best because it is softer.  The reason Bridgestone has become so popular is by offering the golfer the most elite choices plus a fitting program to your swing to better improve your game. 




 Callaway i (s) / i (z)
Callaway introduced this line of golf balls in hopes of creating a large disparity between the driver spin which is low and the wedge spin which is high.  Callaway states that the inner core which has a compression of 120 points softer than its outer core on the Callaway i (s) ball.  

The i (z) ball emphasizes the distance but with more greenside spin than last years Tour ix.  The Tour ix was designed to help the tour players offset the spin-reducing effect of the new groove rule.  Callaway feels the i (z) will help off the tee.

 
Taylormade Penta TP

 Taylormade has introduced a five-layer golf ball that is designed to enhance both spin an distance in five ways.  "A neodyminum-blend core improves resiliency, even at a low compression.  The layer just outside the core optimizes long-iron shots.  The next layer is a fast incomer designed for middle-iron speed and feel.  A firm third layer improves ball speed on tee sots and works with the cover for wedge-shot spin.  And the urethane cover is for feel on chips and putts."

After numerous tests it is evident that this Penta golf ball works for all shots.

Titleist PRO V1 /V1X

This is considered the number one ball in golf on the golf digest top 100 golf balls as well as other numerous lists.  The PGA tour competitors love this golf ball.  The reason its so popular is that both golf balls have a urethane cover but the PRO V1 has a single core which has been enhanced for durability.  

The Pro V1X has a soft center and dual core which is to improve ball speed.  This ball has proven its excellence time and time again.  The PRO V1's are generally compared to because, they deserve to be.
 
  Nike One Tour / Tour D

 Golf Digest describes this golf ball as : "the key element in the one family is a polymer layer surrounding the core.  Its stronger, tighter molecular structure is designed to improve velocity and mitigate excessive spin on the off-center hits."  

The technology behind this golf ball is extraordinary and the One Tour spins about 10 % more.






Srixon Z-Star / Z-Star X
Srixon makes the thinnest cover.  The core which as gotten progressively firmer towards the outside is designed to improve both spin and launch conditions for every club.  The Z-Star X is firmer for faster swing speeds.  

The coating that is on the cover increases friction on short game shots. With over 700 ball patents, Srixon is obviously doing something right.

Ladies picks by Ashley

So I felt that these posts were rather male dominated and I wanted to focus on my female audience for a change  So I researched four companies and their clothing and choose my favourite shirt and jacket from each company.  The four companies I choose included:
  • Nike
  • Callaway
  • Adidas
  • Nancy Lopez
 The Nike Tech Women's Golf Polo is the best between a classic design and high-tech construction.  This shirt is designed to protect you from the sun while putting your best swing forward.  Dri-FIT UV fabric is used to keep you dry and comfortable.  Some features of this golf polo include: rib collar, 5-button placket, vented hem, 100% polyester, machine washable.



Nancy Lopez Bliss Short Sleeve is a perfect addition to any collection.  This shirt can easily be used for 'business casual' or on the golf course.  It is considered to be very versatile and comfortable at the same time.  Features of the Bliss Short Sleeve shirt include: 92% polyester, Desert Dry moisture wicking system, self color, embroidered flame at the back of the neck.




Adidas Golf designed a beautiful variety of golf shirts.  I choose my favourite amongst their top sellers.  Their shirts offer: 95% polyester, Lycra CoolMax Extreme jersey, meshcollar, hem and side panels, contrast Adidas brandmark at back neck.




Callaway does not have a major golf clothing line for women.  I did however, find a beautiful golf shirt.  Callaway see's their clothes as "Marrying advanced technical feature and of-the-moment fashion trends, this line makes big waves on or off the green.  Flirty layering pieces and a mix-and-match sensibility aligh for a sophisticated look that lets you line up that put an kick upp your heels."  Features include:3/4 sleeve polo with printed placket and yoke, piping detail on sleeve, 92% polyester, Moisture Wicking UPF 15+, Anit-Microbial, Comfort performance.
