Which Golf Ball is best for me?
The ultimate 3-step plan to choosing the right golf ball for your game
STEP 1: LEARN YOUR PIECES
The Core — The epicenter of the ball that makes things go. Its importance cannot be overstated.
Why it’s needed: It’s the engine that drives speed, velocity and performance. Without a core, the ball isn’t going anywhere. It should come as no surprise that the core takes up the most space underneath the cover.
How it works: Energy retention is the name of the game. Once the club makes impact with the ball, it rockets off the face with 100 percent of its energy. However, when the ball is airborne, some of the initial energy is lost. A well-designed core will help the ball retain as much energy as possible—hopefully 80 percent—to ensure it flies through the air with the right amount of speed, spin and launch.
Materials: A slug of uncured or lightly cured polybutadiene rubber is compression-molded into a sphere. Different grades of rubber are typically used in a core to give it certain speed or spin characteristics.
The Mantle — Sandwiched between the core and cover, it helps fine-tune spin and distance.
Why it’s needed: It seals the ball so moisture can’t enter the core through the porous cover. Depending on the number of mantles being used, performance characteristics can also be adjusted for different parts of the bag.
How it works: Based on the thickness of the firm mantle layer, spin can be adjusted up or down. It also helps keep ball speed (energy retention) up after impact without having to go to a harder cover and sacrifice spin. It’s a turbobooster for the ball.
Materials: A blend of different ionomer materials to get the exact hardness and speed characteristics.
Individual materials matter, but it’s how the pieces interact that’s important.
The Cover — Influences two important aspects of ball performance: spin and aerodynamics.
Why it’s needed: It encases the core and mantle. More importantly, it’s the layer that helps impart spin on the ball while also housing the all-important dimple pattern that disrupts the flow of air to keep your pellet airborne.
How it works: Depending on the firmness of the material, it can impact distance and/or spin. At lower impacts (deft chips), wedge grooves can easily grip the supple cover to generate enough spin to stop the ball on a dime.
Materials: Urethane is the polymer most commonly found in premium multi-layer balls. A firmer surlyn is typically used on distance balls for golfers who don’t mind giving up some feel and spin for a few more yards off the tee.
STEP 2: STUDY AND TEST
What Do You Want?
The eternal question. As it relates to golf balls, the answer involves understanding the four general performance categories, namely:
Premium: Tour-level balls (at premium prices) that deliver distance off the tee, greenside spin and control in one package.
Premium Value: Offers some of the same technology as a premium ball (urethane cover and mantle layer) but at a lower price.
Soft Spin Value: Geared for moderate speed golfers who place an emphasis on greenside spin and soft feel.
Distance Value: Firmer option designed for the golfer who wants to pick up distance throughout the bag.
How Much Can You Spend?
If money isn’t a concern and you require the best of all worlds, you’re a Premium player. Case closed.
Premium Value: I don’t want to break the bank, but I want the best my game deserves.
Soft Spin Value: My speed isn’t what it was—I get that. I’ll score lower with a better short game.
Distance Value: Give me distance, whatever it takes.
Narrow the Field
You’ve chosen a performance category. Now ask yourself the following:
Around the green, do I like running shots or ones that check? With irons, do I prize distance or consistency more? Do I care more about distance or accuracy with my driver? How do I want my golf ball to feel, firmer or softer?
General rules of thumb…
15+ Handicap: Look for a ball that tends to fly straight and offers forgiveness on mishits. Distance is likely the top priority; spin help is often needed to generate enough stopping power.
5–15 Handicap: Look to maximize distance through the bag. Most players in this subset benefit from higher-launching iron shots; the other emphasis should be on the ability to hit a variety of short-game shots.
5 Handicap and Better: Look for a model that’s producing the right spin window off the tee and provides ample control with the scoring clubs. Generally, you’re already impacting enough spin on the ball. Spin rates and feel are key for these better sticks.
If you have any ‘golfy’ questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us, we are here to help (or at least try!)

Which Golf Ball is best for me?
The ultimate 3-step plan to choosing the right golf ball for your game
STEP 1: LEARN YOUR PIECES
The Core — The epicenter of the ball that makes things go. Its importance cannot be overstated.
Why it’s needed: It’s the engine that drives speed, velocity and performance. Without a core, the ball isn’t going anywhere. It should come as no surprise that the core takes up the most space underneath the cover.
How it works: Energy retention is the name of the game. Once the club makes impact with the ball, it rockets off the face with 100 percent of its energy. However, when the ball is airborne, some of the initial energy is lost. A well-designed core will help the ball retain as much energy as possible—hopefully 80 percent—to ensure it flies through the air with the right amount of speed, spin and launch.
Materials: A slug of uncured or lightly cured polybutadiene rubber is compression-molded into a sphere. Different grades of rubber are typically used in a core to give it certain speed or spin characteristics.
The Mantle — Sandwiched between the core and cover, it helps fine-tune spin and distance.
Why it’s needed: It seals the ball so moisture can’t enter the core through the porous cover. Depending on the number of mantles being used, performance characteristics can also be adjusted for different parts of the bag.
How it works: Based on the thickness of the firm mantle layer, spin can be adjusted up or down. It also helps keep ball speed (energy retention) up after impact without having to go to a harder cover and sacrifice spin. It’s a turbobooster for the ball.
Materials: A blend of different ionomer materials to get the exact hardness and speed characteristics.
Individual materials matter, but it’s how the pieces interact that’s important.
The Cover — Influences two important aspects of ball performance: spin and aerodynamics.
Why it’s needed: It encases the core and mantle. More importantly, it’s the layer that helps impart spin on the ball while also housing the all-important dimple pattern that disrupts the flow of air to keep your pellet airborne.
How it works: Depending on the firmness of the material, it can impact distance and/or spin. At lower impacts (deft chips), wedge grooves can easily grip the supple cover to generate enough spin to stop the ball on a dime.
Materials: Urethane is the polymer most commonly found in premium multi-layer balls. A firmer surlyn is typically used on distance balls for golfers who don’t mind giving up some feel and spin for a few more yards off the tee.
STEP 2: STUDY AND TEST
What Do You Want?
The eternal question. As it relates to golf balls, the answer involves understanding the four general performance categories, namely:
Premium: Tour-level balls (at premium prices) that deliver distance off the tee, greenside spin and control in one package.
Premium Value: Offers some of the same technology as a premium ball (urethane cover and mantle layer) but at a lower price.
Soft Spin Value: Geared for moderate speed golfers who place an emphasis on greenside spin and soft feel.
Distance Value: Firmer option designed for the golfer who wants to pick up distance throughout the bag.
How Much Can You Spend?
If money isn’t a concern and you require the best of all worlds, you’re a Premium player. Case closed.
Premium Value: I don’t want to break the bank, but I want the best my game deserves.
Soft Spin Value: My speed isn’t what it was—I get that. I’ll score lower with a better short game.
Distance Value: Give me distance, whatever it takes.
Narrow the Field
You’ve chosen a performance category. Now ask yourself the following:
Around the green, do I like running shots or ones that check? With irons, do I prize distance or consistency more? Do I care more about distance or accuracy with my driver? How do I want my golf ball to feel, firmer or softer?
General rules of thumb…
15+ Handicap: Look for a ball that tends to fly straight and offers forgiveness on mishits. Distance is likely the top priority; spin help is often needed to generate enough stopping power.
5–15 Handicap: Look to maximize distance through the bag. Most players in this subset benefit from higher-launching iron shots; the other emphasis should be on the ability to hit a variety of short-game shots.
5 Handicap and Better: Look for a model that’s producing the right spin window off the tee and provides ample control with the scoring clubs. Generally, you’re already impacting enough spin on the ball. Spin rates and feel are key for these better sticks.

Spotlight on Grips
Why do I need to re-grip my clubs?
A worn or slick grip on your golf club can have a major impact on your golf swing and performance. Increased grip pressure to ensure the club is secure will decrease the speed of the club head and cause a loss of distance. Worn grips may also slip in your hands, causing the club head to shift from square and result in off-centre strikes and a decrease in shot accuracy.
If you are unsure if your grips need replacing, call into the shop anytime and talk to either Lisa or Sharon: we can advise you of the current state of your grips and discuss a range of replacement options available.
