Golf Balls
Here at OnlineGolf we cater for all golf ammunition requirements by stocking a widespread range of Golf Balls from all types. Most golf balls are unisex but we also provide a wide selection of both male and female golf balls to ensure each and every player is fully stocked up when taking to the course. Our fabulous selection includes golf balls from the majority of leading golf brands including TaylorMade, Volvik, Srixon, Titleist, Wilson Staff, Bridgestone Golf, Challenge Golf, Wilson, Callaway Golf, Fazer, Honma, Brand Fusion, Rife, Spalding and The Golf Company.
Usually, golf balls are purchased in the form of a dozen (12) ball packs which include 4 sleeves of 3 golf balls. Depending on the make and model we also provide options of 6 ball packs, 15 ball packs, 24 ball packs and 48 ball packs. Typically, a golf ball features a white outer coat which has been a traditional colour for a golf ball as far as the game remembers. Coloured golf balls have become increasingly popular due to their much-preferred visual benefits as for example a yellow golf ball contrasts against the green colour of grass which makes it easier to track and find. We therefore supply a range of golf balls from all different colours such as White, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red and Multi Coloured. OnlineGolf cater for all golf ball types, whether it’s distance golf balls, premium golf balls, lake/practice golf balls or even novelty golf balls, we have them all!Distance
Distance golf balls help a player prioritise gaining the furthest distance possible. These are perfect for a beginner golfer or someone who severely struggles with distance when taking to the golf course. Distance golf balls are firmer and provide increased roll out in comparison to premium golf balls. Simply tee one up, let it rip and watch it roll forever down the fairway!
Premium
The premium golf ball is designed for the more confident player. Tour players will all use a range of different premium golf balls because these are made to spin less off the tee which delivers extreme distance on longer shots. However, on shorter shots around the greens these provide extreme spin which offers precise control of which any golfer at a fairly good level requires.
Lake / Practice
Lake and Practice golf balls tend to be recycled, refurbished and reused golf balls. Lake golf balls are formed by recycling used premium golf balls which divers have retrieved from depths of waters. Although these are therefore not brand new, they play very similar to premium golf balls and are found at a fraction of the price. Practice golf balls have similar specifics to lake balls but ideally, they are designed for practice. Like most driving ranges, practice balls are designed to last for as long as possible but only go around 80% of an average golf ball’s distance.
Novelty
Novelty golf balls are an ideal fun gift which can be presented to any golfing fanatic. Usually, novelty golf balls come in all different designs and colours to serve as fun golf gift ideas. The actual golf ball itself doesn’t operate under the best quality however with designs such as a Tennis, Pool, American Football, Basketball, Baseball and Football all in the form of a golf ball. They’re good fun for beginners and competitive players alike!
Golf Balls Frequently Asked Questions
How many dimples on a golf ball?
A golf ball has between 300 and 500 dimples depending on its make and model, each at a depth of about 0.010 inch. The dimples play a really important role in the flight of the ball, as the depth of the dimples affect the lift and drag. If the golf ball was smooth, it would only travel about half as far as it would do if it had dimples.
Why do golf balls have dimples?
Golf balls have dimples to aid in the flight of the ball. The dimples create a fluctuating and charged layer of air that clings to the ball’s surface, allowing smoothly flowing air to round over the ball’s surface around the backside of it. This decreases the wake of the ball, so it doesn’t drag in the air and sails properly. The dimples also contribute to the ball’s lift in that they help create spin.
How to hit a golf ball
For longer clubs, you’ll want your hands to line up with the club in a straight line so the ball is closer to your lead foot. This is no doubt the stance and approach you’ll use for using your fairway woods or driver. Your stance will become more differentiated with each club you use, especially as you approach the shorter clubs, so your addressing the ball will change depending on your club of choice. So you’ve set yourself up with the stance and the ball placement, next comes your backswing. Use your shoulders and arms to move the club backwards for the beginning of your swing - keep your arms straight, and begin to flex or hinge your wrists slightly. As you pull backwards, resist the urge to bend your dominant arm, but instead bend your dominant knee towards the ball. Follow this motion by turning your hips to follow this, and shift your bodyweight onto your back foot. We’ve mastered the upswing, now we need to harness the power of the downswing. Like a coiled spring, you now need to unwind the tension and poise you’ve built up in the backswing. Move your bodyweight onto your lead foot as you turn your hips, letting your arms and shoulders follow through fluidly. Keep your eyes focused on the ball at all times to ensure that you deliver maximum possible contact with the ball throughout the entirety of your golf swing. When you’ve mastered this, you should be able to follow through and hold this finished golf stance properly to disseminate any momentum whilst still having provided power.
What golf ball should I use?
This all depends on how new to the game you are, and how fast your swing is. For those with lower swing speeds, like beginners or older golfers, a low compression golf ball will help to drive more distance. On the flip side, a higher compression golf ball is better suited to those who play with a confident, fast swing. Higher compression golf balls do tend to have a straighter flight, but they do need a little more confidence and power than lower compression.
What are golf balls made of?
Your typical golf ball has a core made of rubber because this material is, unsurprisingly, very bouncy. It absorbs and transfers the energy from your swing to help the ball’s lift and flight. It’s coating is either made from plastic, a resin called surlyn, or urethane, depending on your price range and the brand or model you’re looking to purchase.
How to clean golf balls
If you don’t already have a golf ball cleaning solution, then warm soapy water will do just fine. Lather this up in a bucket or large bowl and add your dirty golf balls to the water. Allow the balls to soak for up to 20 minutes, giving them a jostle every now and then. If there’s anything more stubborn than dried mud, like a mould or clumps of sand, then you’ll need a cleaning brush. Again, if you don’t have the cleaning tools for this, you can just use a sponge or toothbrush to give the ball a good scrub. Some people choose to put their golf balls through the dishwasher! Keeping your golf balls clean means they can experience a better flight, because there’s no side of them or dimples that have been skewed with added weight.
How to put backspin on a golfball
Most golfers want backspin, and the best chances of you hitting a good backspin shot are on longer wedge shots. You need a high club head speed to hit a good one, because this creates a higher spin rate. Another factor that contributes to a healthy backspin is your spin loft. For this, you need a good attack angle, which means the clubhead is traveling downwards when it hits the ball. You also need a dynamic loft, which is the degree of loft when the clubhead hits the ball. The third mitigating factor is friction, and this is where the terrain comes into play. The higher the friction on your shot, the more backspin you’ll create. The optimum conditions for this are therefore a wedge with fresh grooves, a premium golf ball, short grass surface, and dry conditions.
