Question What type of golf ball responds best on the green?
Although hard to believe, I compete in Professional MIni Golf tournaments around the country and was wondering what type of ball would perform best on the green (min golf course lol). I seem to like balls with a lower compression (Maxfli Noodle, Volvik Crystal) yet after reading up on the design of golf balls, I am not sure that this is the right decision. What type of balls (compression, three piece two piece etc.) would help increase my performance.

Best Answer hi. good question. but i think it would be wrong for people to recommend a specific type of a golf ball for you. the matter of fact is, in order to putt at your best, you need to depend on two things. feel and sound. maxfli noodle will feel smoother and a sound thats well... soft? and if you try any of the top flight golf balls, then you will find that it feels hard at impact and the noise it makes is a little louder. the bottomline is, EVERY golf balls feel and sound different. and the conclusion is that EVERY people have their preferences. phil mickelson said he changed his ball from titleist to callaway because he changed his putter. his putter was not very responsive to the contact so he wanted a ball that would make a louder noise at contact. so changing to a callaway ball was part of many other reasons because it slightly felt a little more "firm" so my recommendation is, try all sorts of different balls. take them to the putting green and see which ones feel and sound better. you are the only one that can determine which ball is best for you. pick the one based on feel and sound. good luck. :]

Question What is the longest golf ball on the market?
I have this long drive contest thing coming up (for fun) and you can bring your own golf balls. I was just wondering what was the "hottest", longest flying ball out there now-a-days. It doesn't have to have "feel" cause were not hitting approach shots, chipping or putting with the same ball so I just need the longest ball you can think of, even if it's rock hard. Thanks.

Best Answer Two of the longest hitters in golf use Pinnacle so I'd look into that brand. http://www.pinnaclegolf.com/
