Re: 2005 Golf Balls
My take on golf balls improving your game ...
Consistency is key.
Sure, you can find balls more appropriate for high or low handicappers, and it is probably wise to check the test-results and pick one that suits you somehow, but I find it more valuable to stick with the same ball if at all possible.
I usually play the Wilson "Jack" ball (low compression - no spin - distance ball ... like hitting a rock, really). It helps me keep the slice down and get som fair distance off the tee, which is nice.
However, the "Jack" is now discontinued, and I'm having all sorts of trouble trying to make my game stick with new balls. One shot I'm long - the next I'm short ... so I'm hitting every hazard out there at the moment.
I have now decided to go for the Callaway Big Bertha Blue ball for future use. It's still a distance kind of ball, albeit a lot more spin than the "jack", but I think I'm at a point in my game where I can handle that bit more spin and gradually begin moving my game towards control, even giving up a bit of distance if needed.
But hitting a Pro V1 for 3 holes, then hitting a Nike Power Distance, then a Strata, then a ... etc, will definately not do your game good.
