How to pick a golf ball

One of the most common questions we get here at Lake Michigan Hills in the golf shop is “What ball should I play”. 
First, determine what is your top priority?  Is it  performance around the greens, distance, value, or looks & style.
For most golfers, performance around the greens should be your first consideration.  With a high spin ball, it will make a huge difference in the short game and putting.  The drawback is the high cost of a performance ball.  Examples are Titleist Pro V1, Nike Tour, Bridgestone B330 series or Srixon Z Star.
If adding distance is a consideration, there are the mid priced balls, which also have a mid-spin rate which gives the best of both worlds.   Examples are Titleist NXT, Nike Vapor Speed, Bridgestone E Series, Top-Flite Gamer or Srixon Tri Speed Tour.
For the golfer who loses a lot of balls, value can be important.  There are also some performance characteristics to these balls, however limited.   Examples are Nike Power Distance, Titleist DT,
And finally, looks are important.  The colored golf ball is back.   The best thing about the colored ball is they stand out brightly and are easy to find when the light is poor outside.  In addition, most people play a white ball so yours will be the easiest to spot, and maybe no one will hit your ball by accident.

  1. Golf ball, according to the rules of golf is as follows. The diameter of the golf ball should be at least 1.680 inches or 42.67 mm. A small ball tends to fly further than a big ball due to less air resistance on a small object in flight or in other words, the smaller ball is not necessary to move the air more like a big ball. In this spirit, most manufacturers produce golf balls to the minimum size.
