Hi John,
It would be difficult to try to explain all the ball types and differences but in leyman terms here goes,
There are two piece ball usually very cheap...................hard sound no spin or feel....but good distance.
Then there are multi layers usually three,
pro v1,
callaway tour, strata tour.....always most expensive..................soft/better feel with
irons and especially when chipping, a little less distance with the driver.
The choice is yours
Ian.
