Types of golf balls and how do they differ?

Today, let’s explore the fascinating world of golf balls. Did you know that golf balls aren’t all the same? In fact, there are up to six different types, each distinguished by the materials they’re made of, the number of layers they contain, and even the incorporation of modern technology. Let’s dive into this diverse range of options together!

One-Piece Golf Balls

One-piece golf balls are made from only one material with dimples made directly into the material. Typically, these golf balls are made from 100% rubber or a single solid piece of Surlyn, both of which are known for supreme durability and cut resistance. One-piece golf balls have a limited flight and don’t travel as far as other golf balls which makes them ideal for driving ranges that have limited space and need to contain golf balls within their range facility.

Two-Piece Golf Balls

Two-piece golf balls are constructed with a solid core and a durable cover, typically made of Surlyn. These balls are designed to maximize distance off the tee, making them an excellent choice for golfers with slower swing speeds who are seeking extra yardage. Examples include distance golf balls, which emphasize achieving maximum distance, and soft feel golf balls, which offer a softer impact sensation, enhancing feel, particularly around the greens. Women’s golf balls also fall into this category, designed to be lighter and easier to compress for players with slower swing speeds, enhancing both distance and feel. Junior golf balls are similarly constructed to be lightweight and lower in compression, catering specifically to younger golfers.

Three-piece Golf Balls

Three-piece balls, such as tour performance golf balls, are designed to provide a balance between distance and control, making them ideal for intermediate to advanced golfers. Control golf balls, also three-piece, enhance control and feel, providing more spin and a better touch on short shots.

Four-piece Golf Balls

Four-piece golf balls, like premium tour performance balls, offer high performance with excellent control, spin, and distance, suiting advanced golfers.

Five-piece Golf Balls

Five-piece golf balls represent the pinnacle of golf ball technology, providing maximum control, spin, distance, and superior feel, designed for professional and highly skilled amateur golfers who can benefit from the complex construction.
