Men in white coats are now recommending we get high. Higher than weve ever gone before with their latest products.
Dont start sniffing your golf ball but do make sure you get as high as the proverbial kite off the Tee. You need to add at least 5 of launch angle on your tee shots with the golf balls of 2007, when compared to those you used in 1997. And if your swing speed isnt aggressive, then you need to launch higher still.
Todays golf ball needs to go to a much higher elevation than the older golf balls, to spin less than the older golf balls and then carry further. The spin rate and aerodynamic design is important to make the golf ball hang for as long as possible, with forward momentum, before it starts the descent.
Each of the better manufacturers will also produce premium golf balls that can deliver you the best launch conditions and greatest distance from the tee box whilst also offering increased spin rate and greater control with the shorter irons AND superior feel around the green with your Wedge Putter. But, those come at a price.
These manufacturers also offer less expensive alternatives. Most will have a 2pce alternative that will make compromises between Driver distance, spin rate on approach or feel around the green.
Srixon, ever the golf ball innovators, introduced the Srixon Tri-Speed. This is actually a less expensive 3pce golf ball. This golf ball will provide you with superb distance AND sensational feel.
