The Best Golf Balls to Buy This Year

By: | Thu 27 Jun 2024


If you play golf regularly, then it's likely that you will go through a significant number of balls during a season! (We won't talk about how I managed to lose six in my most recent round, although I did find a couple that had been long abandoned in the rough to reduce my losses).

However, it's fair to say that most of us will have to regularly stock up on golf balls, which is the equivalent ongoing expense of putting petrol into your car. It can be frustrating, but it's a necessity if you want to play. No one wants to be that person who has to ask their playing partner on the tee if they can borrow some of theirs.

Golfers these days have a variety of manufacturers to choose from, in addition to styles of ball, from soft to hard, two-piece to three-piece, it can become a little convoluted. 

But if you are looking to purchase some new golf balls, we have attempted to simplify that process by enlisting the advice of our Equipment Expert, Ryan Rastall, the Head Pro at Howley Hall Golf Club in Leeds, who has identified more than a couple dozen models across a range of prices from those at a premium cost to those that charge less than £30 per dozen.

Here is our comprehensive guide to the best golf balls available this year - which should all help you to fulfill that Golfshake philosophy of Play More & Play Better this season!
