How the Spin affect the golfer’s performance

1.What is spin means in golf?

In golf, the spin of a ball refers to the rotation it has while in flight, which can be influenced by factors such as club head speed, club face angle, and the type of ball used. High spin and low spin balls have different characteristics:

High Spin Ball:

A high spin ball tends to have more backspin, which can cause it to stop or even back up slightly after landing, making it ideal for short approach shots and green side chip shots.

The extra spin can also help golfers control the ball’s trajectory and landing spot, especially for skilled players with a fast swing speed.

However, too much spin can lead to a loss of distance, as the ball doesn’t travel through the air as efficiently.

Low Spin Ball:

A low spin ball has less backspin, which can result in a longer carry distance and reduced sidespin, making it more suitable for long drives.

The reduced spin can help golfers with slower swing speeds achieve more distance, as the ball doesn’t lose as much energy due to aerodynamic drag.

Low spin balls can be less forgiving on off-center hits, as they tend to have less control in the air and on landing.

How to choose?

Golfers often choose ball types based on their swing characteristics, playing conditions, and personal preferences. Professional golfers might opt for a ball that generates more spin for better control around the greens, while amateur golfers might prefer a low spin ball for added distance.

2.The examples

Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls have distinct spin rate characteristics. The Pro V1x is designed to produce a lower spin rate off the tee, which can result in a straighter ball flight with less dispersion. However, it can have a higher spin rate on approach shots and around the greens, approximately 4.3% to 4.6% more than the Pro V1. The Pro V1, on the other hand, is known for its balanced spin profile, with a medium-high trajectory, lower spin on long shots, and higher spin on short shots, providing a softer feel. These differences cater to the preferences of different golfers, with Pro V1x being more suitable for those seeking lower overall spin and Pro V1 for those who value a more spin-friendly ball.

3.How to find a similar balls at JTS

Before choose the right ball from JTS sports, You must know our ball specifications.

As you can see the specification form, the 4 piece urethane compression is higher than 3 piece urethane, which means 4 piece urethane is harder and less spin than 3 piece urethane.

But first you should know how compression affects the game.

4.The compression

Golf ball compression is a measure of how much a ball deforms under pressure, specifically during impact with a golf club. It is rated on a scale from 1 (lowest compression) to 100 (highest compression). The compression rating affects several factors, including:

Distance: Lower compression balls tend to compress more at impact, especially for golfers with slower swing speeds. This additional compression can lead to better energy transfer, resulting in more distance.

Feel: Higher compression balls generally provide a harder, more solid feel at impact, which some golfers prefer, especially those with faster swing speeds.

Control: Higher compression balls can offer more control around the greens due to their reduced deformation, which can lead to a more consistent spin rate.

Spin: Lower compression balls can generate more spin, which can be beneficial for golfers who want more control over their shots, especially on short irons and wedges.

Softness: Lower compression balls are often considered softer and can provide a better feel for golfers with slower swing speeds or those who prefer a softer touch.

Golfers typically choose a ball with a compression that suits their swing speed and playing style. Faster swingers often opt for higher compression balls, while slower swingers or those seeking more distance might prefer lower compression options. It’s essential to note that compression is just one aspect to consider when selecting a golf ball, as other factors like ball construction, cover materials, and dimple patterns also play a significant role in performance

5.How to choose your dream golf ball?

The best golf ball may not suit for every golfer, compared with 3 piece urethane ball. 4 piece urethane has better performance, definitely a more solid ball. But higher performance will lead the cost to a higher level.

For most of golfers to say, golf just a sports when they can enjoy their weekend but for make a living.

And for some beginners, they may miss many shot when they swing. So range ball or 2 piece surlyn ball more suit for them. As you know the soft urethane isn’t suit for practice as the cover wouldn’t durable as surlyn hard ball.
