Is it a good idea to use different brands of golf balls when on the practice green?
I am a 9-handicap and play quite often. Obviously, I am an amateur player and I rarely use the same brand/make/model of golf ball. My question is, can the subtle differences in balls affect the effectiveness of my practices for a player of my level? I understand the materials involved in the manufacture of a ball and which balls have more spin/distance than others but I often feel a bit guilty for using different kinds fearing that it will do nothing but ruin my feel… Please help…
Addison has the best answer and we can really just add to it. You want to find 1 ball that really fits your game and swing and then stick with it. Don’t be swayed by the majority of it all either. I know a lot of people who play a Titleist Pro V-1x because they see it on TV and they don’t have anywhere near the swing speed or ability to be playing it. I am a 2-handicap and used to be a + back in high school and college and I actually play a Maxfli TV4 4-piece ball.
Your best bet is to kind of narrow down the ball you need by finding out your swing speed and ball speed. Normally a pro shop or good retail store like PGA Superstore will have a certified professional there that can give you the balls that match your abilities, get a sleeve of each and try them out, which ever one performs best for you is the one you should go with.
