Hi All

I am a high handicap golfer and just wondering what the best type of balls i should be using are? I.e ones that are more forgiving if i pull off a slice (if there are such balls?)

Many Thanks

The best balls for high handicappers asre low spin balls. They reduce the amount of top spin and backspin, but also reduce the amount of side spin, resulting in less drastic hooks and slices.

I played with a ball by strata last year that was supposed to have a teflon coating on it to reduce the spin. I think it was just a marketing ploy, as I didn't notice any difference.

I hitting some dunlop LoCo Crazy Longs right now and they don't seem to be spinning a lot.

Also for a higher handicapper i would advise a lower compression ball like the nike mojo.
