The discussion rages on about which golf ball is the best for each player. I have buoy with the idea of changing golf balls in order to improve my game, but I have decided to try and find some success this season. The challenge for many players is the cost of golf balls in relation to the value received. This is my current situation and I seem to be at a standstill on which direction to follow. That is until recently. I have made a decision and we shall see if it is a good one over the course of the summer.

Experimenting With Different Golf Balls
The great debate continues about whether a more expensive ball plays better than a less costly one. As a rule, I use an expensive ball (Pro V1 and Pro V1x) in the warm days of summer and a Wilson 50 in the early spring and fall.

Fear not, I am used to this time of year and have a fail proof plan!

Anyway, I have carved out some time today to hit the links and it is going to be fun.

As I mentioned yesterday, I have switched to my fall ball: the Wilson 50. It is a ‘no-brainer’ to make the move, but there is always a period of adjustment. It is not anything critical, but it something I must be aware of during the transition. Primarily, the greatest adjustment occurs in my short game. It takes about 15 minutes on the practice area to make the change and it is worth every second that I practice. Continue reading
