In this Golf Monthly video, they delve into a crucial aspect of the game that many golfers overlook - the golf ball. It's not always your swing or clubs to blame for lackluster performance; sometimes, it's the ball you're using. The team at Golf Monthly highlights seven telltale signs that indicate you might be using the wrong golf ball, affecting your distance, control, and overall game. From spin profiles to flight trajectories, they break down how the ball can make or break your shots.
One key sign discussed is the importance of the spin profile for your driver shots. The right spin can optimize your ball flight, ensuring it launches high and travels far. On the flip side, the wrong spin can lead to loss of distance and control, especially in windy conditions. By observing your ball's trajectory, you can determine if a switch to a different ball with a suitable spin profile is necessary.
Additionally, the team emphasizes the impact of ball visibility and alignment aids on your putting accuracy. Visual cues on the golf ball can enhance your awareness of the target, ultimately improving your short game performance. They also touch on the significance of ball compression, highlighting how different compression levels can affect your distance off the tee. For golfers struggling with high iron shots or difficulty tracking the ball, a change in golf ball type may be the solution to enhance control and visibility on the course.
