Review Of Fortè Golf Balls

/ The Grateful Golfer / 2 Comments

Fortè Golf Balls are relatively new to the market. I was approached to give an honest assessment of their product and I am excited to put their golf balls to the test. Fortè is an Australian company created by avid golfers and their ball developed was focused on all level of players.

The right golf ball for your game is very important. Over the years, I think I have tried them all to try and find that perfect ball for my game. As my game changed, the need for a different golf ball also changed.

Generally, I will read a book or two over the year that is recommended by one of my readers. I find that if they recommend a book, it should be worth reading.

The amount of information about golf is amazing. I think we need to have the skills of an information officer to effectively sift through the reams of data. During our searches, we stumble across sources that we feel we can trust and use them in future searches.

I had recent discussion with Tony Dear, shortgameking1, and Kelly Crumpler USGTF about sources and the value they bring during the selection of new equipment. We went through an entire gambit of thoughts that led me to think that there is a more powerful influence in the golfing world than the constant barrage of media ads. Continue reading →
