When thinking about buying golf ball, the more expensive isn't always the best choice. You need to think about things like where you're going to play, your ability, type of spin you'll need etc. There are many golf balls that are reasonably priced that will suit your needs just fine.

First off don't spend a ton of money on golf balls, especially when just starting out. Just because you spend $45+ on Pro V1 doesn't mean you’re going to play like a pro. It's pays to just use some common sense. Key points to think about are the flight distance and spin of the ball. Think about these factors when looking for balls, just use your common sense and don't be lured in just based on price.

So, when playing at a course that you have a degree of comfort with or have played a lot think about that as well when choosing a golf ball. For example if you play where there are a lot of hazards, woods, tall grass and water then you might when to use a less expensive ball. Another example is if you can hit long balls then focus on a ball with a lot of distance. If the course has a lot of short play then you may want to look at golf balls with spin control.

Another good practice is going out to a cheap course and sample each type of golf ball to see what results you're getting. You will know when to use where based on your results. When trying different distance balls consider the dimples. Most people have no idea why dimples are on golf balls. Golf ball dimples gives the ball flight but too many will slow the ball down. Be on the lookout for ball that are around 350-400 dimples which is right on par for the best flight distance.

Keeping in mind you need to not only think about choosing the right golf clubs but selecting the right golf ball is key to the game. Really all it takes is some common sense, don't play with range balls but there is no need to dump all of your money into the most expensive ones either, just use your best judgment and happy swinging.

If you are a beginner to golf or just frugal like me, you already know that losing a 3 dollar golf ball is easy and often. This used to really bother me a lot. Until I decided that discount golf balls could be had and they worked just fine. Have you found that to be true?
I love to receive golf balls as gifts and I got plenty when I first started golfing. As a beginner golf person, I had so many teachers I didn't know who to listen to. One person would tell me the golf ball is the most important thing. "Buy a really good golf ball and you will learn quicker", they would say. Others would say that the golf ball brand made no difference and told me to just get the cheapest balls I could find. I actually thought that made sense, but I have decided that it is really somewhere in between.
As a new golfer or a beginner golfer, I got advice form everyone from my friends, to those who I was forced to play with on the golf course. ( those were some of the worst teaching sessions I ever had. I can't stand to be taught by a stranger when I didn't ask for it). Anyway, I did find that a good quality golf ball was very important.
Buying good quality golf balls became a sport for me. I don't like to pay full price you see. So I became really good at locating golf ball deals and here is the secret. Ebay! Yes Ebay has the best deals on discount golf balls. You can buy a dozen used golf balls and try the brand out without paying the huge retail price. I found that I do love Titleist Pro V1 but I can't stand the thought of paying full price for them. I learned I could buy them used at a discount of at least 50%. I do buy them now and use them. I don't worry too much about losing them now either, since I know that I didn't pay full price.

Check out all the great deal on this site for golf balls and you will see what I mean. No matter what brand you love, you will find it here at a great price.

If you have searched for "how to correct a slice" on the internet, you know that about 50,000 pages are dedicated to this. Slicing is a very common problem in golf and beginners in golf have a real bad time with it.

I have to be one of the worst at hitting my driver.  The ball goes strong then veers to the right so bad I think it gonna come back to me sometimes!  I have been working on correcting this slice for some time now.  I read everything I could get my hands on and tried many different "tricks" to correct it.  Nothing seemed to work for me, UNTIL very recently.

Here is what I am doing now to correct my slice.  You may find this helpful.  I think for many of us, it is a combination of things that starts to correct the slice. At least for me, there are four important things I am doing and it seems to be working.

Overall, your goal is to learn how to pull a mean hook.  That is, you want to do things in your swing and stance and grip to pull the ball left -- the opposite of a slice.  This made a lot of sense to me, because I figured if I could add a hook to my natural slice, I would end up going straight.

1. Be sure the ball is very far forward in your stance.

For this you can have the ball a good 4 inches in front of your left foot.  Seriously, don't worry about how everybody else does it, get that ball teed up well in front of your left foot.

2. Get a grip  - A Strong Grip

This does "not" mean a tight grip, strong means the way your hands are positioned on the grip. Here is a picture of strong and neutral or slightly weak.Golf Grip - strong vs weak

It may feel bit awkward when you try this, but just rotate both hands twisting 'in'.  This will help keep the club face more square at impact and that is one thing you are after to stop slicing.

At the same time, don't use a "death grip" in terms of how tight you hold the club.

3. Pull your right foot back 6 inches

Get in your normal square stance , having aimed, addressed the ball, strong grip and at nearly the last moment before you swing, move your right foot back about 6 inches, straight back, not wider.  This should cause you to hook the ball. But you , having a normal slice going, will have a hard time hooking.

4.  Swing slowly back and accelerate through the swing with a great follow though

It is important not to get a bunch of speed going in your back swing.  Just be fairly slow and deliberate.  Then be crisp at impact and follow through like a pro.  I mean, you should be standing there in a pose for the cameras after you swing.  My friends that I golf with called me a "posser" for a while when I was trying all this.  Just do it, and watch your slice turn into a straight flight.

All these things should start to bring the ball back around and eventually, you may actually hook the ball.  That would be a great outcome! If you start hooking, then you can change a few of the things you are doing to put it back straight.

The goal is to hook the ball.

When all is said and done, you will love to have a golf vacation at a discount. There are many good opportunities online.

Have fun with golf.  Relax, and enjoy it!
