Unless you currently play semi-professionally, or are gearing up for a Senior Tour run sometime in the next few decades, the answer is most likely no. For the common golfer, golf balls are fairly disposable. This isn’t a recommendation to use just any junk that might be sitting the abandoned golf bag in the attic, but shelling out 30 to 40 for a sleeve of high performance golf balls simply isn’t practical for those with mid to high handicaps.A multilayer golf ball offers increased spin and control for the striker, but frankly, 9 out of 10 (estimated figures) people who take to the tee box do not have the necessary skill level to take advantage of these benefits. There’s no golf ball that will magically make your shot spin backwards towards the whole like you see in PGA approach shots, even if a particular top end ball boasts maximum spin potential. Yes, the ball will spin faster, but there is still a prerequisite level of stroke proficiency necessary to see any results manifest on the green. Precision control benefits are also mitigated as even the greatest golf ball in the world isn’t going to rectify a skull, shank or extreme slice.A simpler two-piece, or even one piece, golf ball is recommended, for high handicappers in particular, actually providing real benefits in a player’s game to boot. More distance is something most mid-level golfers could use and a simpler golf ball offers increased roll. Not to mention, they are also 10 dollars cheaper per sleeve. As long as there are woods and water hazards on a golf course, a golf ball is a temporary purchase, so unless you are good enough to keep your balls around for 9 holes at a time, it’s best to let your golf budget stay low while your scorecard remains high. Be honest with yourself, unless you can regularly pay for multilayer balls off of your golf winnings, a two-piece sleeve remains the more savvy investment.
