Golf Ball Buying Guide - How to Buy Golf Balls

• Cover Material.
  Golf Balls are pretty standardized but they can still differ in their cover materials and the speed of their spins. The cover material contributes to the speed of your ball. Before buying a set of golf balls, make a few Swings and determine the Golf Ball Flight. This will help you analyze the type of Golf Ball you will need.
  
  Golf Balls may be made with a Balata cover, a Surlyn cover or some other synthetic, plastic material. Balata covered Golf Balls have more spin than those made with other cover material. It is very soft, making the Grooves of your club easily grab it and cause it to spin very quickly. Balata Balls gets scratched easily and are more expensive. Surlyn covered Golf Balls or those made of similar synthetic plastic are harder, have lower spin rates and are less expensive. If you prefer to have more spin, like most pros do, you may should buy a Balata Golf Ball. But note that if you use a ball with more spin and you often get a Slice, your slice will definitely Slice more. For beginners, the Surly covered Golf Ball is a much better choice.


• Budget.
  Though Golf Balls may only cost about $12 per dozen, it is important to ask yourself how much money you would be willing to spend on more advanced and durable balls.
