For the average golfer, an expensive golf ball won't offer enough noticeable benefits to justify the higher cost. The only benefit to an expensive golf ball is its increased spin around the green and the nice soft feel at impact.

Across brands, golf balls vary in quality and price. High-quality, more expensive golf balls typically have a urethane cover, which contributes to improved 'feel' and greater spin control. Premium golf balls will usually last longer.

You want to choose a golf ball with a compression rating that matches or exceeds your swing speed to maximize its efficiency. If your swing speed is over 100 mph, select a golf ball with 100 compression; if your swing speed is 90 mph or greater, select a golf ball with 90 compression. If your swing is 80 mph or lower, go with a golf ball of 80 compression. 

Most golfers want to know where to buy cheap or discount golf balls in bulk, and high-quality used golf balls are a great alternative. Compression and spin rate are the major determining factors when choosing golf balls. There is no need to read every review to find the best golf balls for the average golfer because there are many good brands unless custom or novelty golf balls are desired. The most popular golf balls are:

Golf balls come in different levels of compression ranging from low to mid to high. Golfers with a low swing speed need balls with low compression (soft golf balls), and a high swing speed needs high compression (hard golf balls). For beginners and high handicappers, the best golf balls are often soft, like TaylorMade Noodle Long and Soft or Titleist TruFeel Golf Balls, which will cover more ground on each hit. Ladies might prefer soft golf balls like the Srixon Soft Feel Lady Golf Ball or the Callaway Supersoft Golf Ball.

Spin rate tells how straight golf balls fly. Popular golf balls, such as the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, are more forgiving and will fly straighter than golf balls with a greater spin rate. The spin rate is determined by the depth of the golf ball's dimples. Golf balls with shallower dimples have a lower spin rate and, as a result, will fly straighter. Beginners or high-handicap golfers often prefer a ball with a low spin rate. Most brands combine low spin rate with low compression in many golf balls to ensure distance and control.

Used golf balls are often categorized into different grades:

  • Mint / AAAAA – Like new, minimal or no signs of wear, similar to a brand-new ball in performance.
  • Near Mint / AAAA – Slight cosmetic blemishes but no impact on playability.
  • Good / AAA – Some scuffs or marks, minor performance impact.
  • Practice / AA or Below – Heavily used, with significant scuffs or discoloration. Best for practice only.

💡 Tip: Stick to Mint or Near Mint grades for consistent performance.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used golf ball, here's what to look for:

✔ Check for deep scratches or cuts that can affect aerodynamics and spin.
✔ Yellowing or fading may indicate age, which can affect durability.
✔ Inspect the dimples to see if they are worn down or smooth.
