What Is the Best Driving Golf Ball?

Different golf balls produce different results.

Golfers are always looking for a way to hit the longest drives possible, and equipment can certainly have an effect on this distance. Different golf balls can produce different distance results, depending on the golfer.

Brands

Golf equipment companies have varying ways to aid a player's driving distance. Pinnacle makes balls designed to travel farther for players of differing experience and style, while Maxfli, Bridgestone and Callaway all make specific balls designed for distance.

Feel

Golfers with less experience often prefer hitting a ball with a harder feel, while more experienced golfers may get more distance out of a ball with a softer feel

Regulations

The United States Golf Association sets limits on the specifications of golf balls that prevent them from traveling past a certain distance. These regulations also limit the size of the golf ball.

Swing

While the components of golf balls influence the distance they travel, a golfer's swing has a bigger impact. Different types of swings generate spin that may cause a golf ball to travel greater distances for one golfer than another.

Training

Strength training and extensive swing practice can help get the maximum driving distance out of any golf ball.
