I wanted to test a series of balls which had been somewhat inexpensive and readily obtainable in most golf retail retailers and pro shops. I choose not to use the major of the line of golf balls, for this test, mainly because all playable golf balls will break down ultimately and most of the positive aspects of the higher end golf balls have negligible have an effect on on a simulator. In my alternative it is a waste of dollars to use a $four golf ball on an indoor golf simulator, when you can use a $1 ball and get the same benefits.

The Test:
I ran an indoor golf league from my small business I applied a distinct group of 6 balls for every single week. The very same players played 9 holes each and every week on the very same golf simulator. I limited the variables for the study, by holding anything continuous except for the golf balls. I had eight players, each and every player applying their own golf clubs. At the finish of each week, I traded out the balls and replaced them with six new test balls. The six test balls were placed in a bin subsequent to the simulator, and the players had been only permitted to use the balls, I had provided.

The Benefits:
At the end of the test, which ran for four weeks eight players and 9 holes per week, the outcomes are as follows:

Callaway HX Hot Plus
The Callaway ball held up wonderful! There was a tiny put on and tear on the balls, largely due to friction from making use of wedges and the grooves cutting the exterior of the ball. There was only one out of six balls which have been utilised, that I wouldn’t use again on a further round.

Nike Energy Distance Soft
The Nike held up pretty fantastic, there was one particular ball which had a modest crack in the shell. Three of the six balls showed a fair quantity of friction cuts. I threw away three of the six balls employed.

Noodle +
This ball held up wonderful for the first few weeks…but then it fell apart. I had 1 ball entirely break into two pieces. An more two balls had cracks on the shell and have been removed from the test just before the fourth week. But for golf instruction , I was shocked they lasted as long as they did.

Titleist NXT Intense
General the ball held up very properly, there was a tiny friction cuts on a couple of of the balls and only a single smaller crack on a single of the golf balls. I only threw away that one ball.

The Winner:
Primarily based on the benefits of my compact study I would recommend the Callaway and the Titleist balls. They each held up effectively and I was capable to use the balls for many rounds just after the study was complete. The cost is right for each of the balls. If I had to declare a winner: Callaway takes the prize.

Honorable Mention:
Again for the cost the Noodle was a very good ball, you may just require to get fantastic at selecting up shards of golf ball off your floor.

The Loser:
The Nike Energy Distance Soft definitely shocked me. I believed the soft ball would have held up improved than it did. Yes the Callaway and Titleist are a handful of bucks extra than the Nike, but it is worth it.
