Being honest, how many of you use the same model of golf ball every time you play?
I have the best intentions of sticking to the same ball but on occasions I’ll lose one and not have any more of that model in my bag.
It’s annoying but it happens. Sometimes I’ll just stick a sleeve of my ball of choice in my bag and then I’ll lose more than I think I’m going to.
There are lots of different golf balls out there, each with different performance benefits.
