Keep reading for our best advice on how to find a golf ball that your partner will love and actually get some use out of!
Understanding Their Skill Level
If you’re not sure where to even begin when buying golf balls for your partner, you will want to start with sussing out their skill level. A simple rule to start out with is: If your partner often loses balls, go for something durable and not overly expensive. If your partner plays frequently and takes golf seriously, you may want to choose a more premium quality ball.
Top Tip: If you really aren’t sure what skill level your partner is, try getting balls made for casual or intermediate players as they tend to offer the best balance of performance and value.
To help make your job easier, we have come up with a few ball suggestions for beginner golfers, serious golfers and golfers on a budget…
For the Beginner Golfer
For beginner golfers, you will want to opt for golf balls that are low compression and prioritise distance and forgiveness over spin. We recommend:
- Titleist TruFeel: This ball offers a soft feel with great control, making it well-suited for beginners with slower swing speeds.
- Callaway Supersoft: This ball has a low compression that helps to generate extra distance, even with slower swings.
- Wilson Duo Soft: This ball is super soft and durable, making it ideal for beginner golfers.
For the Serious Golfer
If your partner is serious about golf, you will want to choose a tour-level ball that is designed to offer a high degree of control, spin and feel. We recommend:
- Titleist Pro V1: This is the most popular ball in golf, designed to deliver optimal performance from tee to green.
- Taylormade TP5: This ball has a soft feel, durable cover and is designed for high iron and wedge spin.
- Callaway Chrome Tour: This ball is engineered for outstanding performance, speed, spin, greenside control and consistent flight.
