Are you one of those golfers who has a mix of golf balls in your bag? Most people don’t take a moment to think what the benefits of using the same golf ball.
The golf ball is hugely important. It’s the only piece of equipment that you use on every single shot during a round of golf.
So, why is it that people don’t find the ball fitting process as important?
A lot of golfers up and down the country are simply uneducated in the golf ball fitting process. That’s where Titleist come in.
We travelled north to Morpeth Golf Club to attend one of Titleist’s ball fitting demo days. They have these all over the country to see first hand at how club golfers feel about ball fittings.
Here is how the members at Morpeth got on…

Player 1: Lisa Herron, (Handicap 14)
Current ball: A mixture
Suggested ball: Pro V1x
It was really interesting seeing the different spin rates during the ball fitting process.
I never really thought the ball was that important but I’ve only just recently started to learn that it is!
I tended to play a mixture of golf balls for no specific reason really.
I’ve been sent away with the Pro V1x because it helps me get that extra height on my irons and actually lowers my ball flight a little with my driver. I tend to have a really high ball flight when I use my driver.
Player 2: Martin Calder, (Handicap 13)
Current ball: Titleist in summer/Mixture in winter
Suggested ball: Pro V1x
I’ve been fitted for my irons quite a few times but this is the first time I’ve been fit for a golf ball. So, it’s all very interesting.
I thought that the explanations made so much sense, things that I would normally overlook once they were explained to me they all seemed to fall into place.
