We love the game of golf, but it can often feel like a big investment in terms of time and money. This is especially the case when you find yourself sending golf balls into bodies of water or forests of trees more regularly than you’d like – it’s the same for all of us.

If you’ve tried different kinds of balls and can’t discern too much of a difference between them, you may be inclined to feel the more affordable golf balls tick all the boxes for your game.

However, if you’re good enough to get the most out of them, premium golf balls are designed to give you the perfect amount of feel and spin to get the most out of your game and shoot as low as you can.

At the end of the day, money and cost can be the dominant factor in deciding what kind of golf ball you’re most comfortable playing with. So, please read on as we discuss the latest Titleist golf balls on the market and how they fit into these different budget categories.

 

Affordable golf balls

We all know how it feels to lose balls out of bounds and have them sunk by water hazards and, if you’re a high-handicap player, this may be an all too familiar feeling.

When this happens, it can be easy to lose a bit of faith and replace them with any old ball. We’re here to tell you that’s never going to be the best move – finding the right golf ball for your game will lead to better shots and lower scores.

If you’re in the market for more affordable balls to play with, you can’t go wrong with the TruFeel golf balls from Titleist.

As the name implies, these balls feel incredible to strike. Titleist have equipped the ball with a thin 2.0 TruFlex cover that provides your short game with excellent control, so you’ll have full confidence in your wedge shots.

The ball’s core will generate impressive speed on impact resulting in superb distances as the transfer of energy is passed from club to ball, and the spherically-tiled dimple design will give you tee shots fantastic launch and flight. This fun, easy-to-hit golf ball is available in white, optic yellow, and matte red.

 

Mid-range golf balls

If you’re a regular golfer but want to keep yourself aligned with a sensible budget, the Velocity balls are a fantastic choice.

Velocity means the ‘speed and direction of a moving body or object’, and these balls have plenty of speed. Titleist’s high-speed LSX core was designed to enhance speed on impact to give you immense distance down the fairway.

Not unlike the cover of the TruFeel, the NAZ+ cover gives you outstanding greenside feel. This is the perfect ball to pick up if you’re looking to gain more distance for a reasonable price. The Velocity is available in a selection of optically-pleasing colours, including white, matte orange, matte green, and matte blue.

If you’re an adept, single figure handicap player or an aspiring golfer, you’ll be looking to get the most out of your equipment when you hit the course. The Pro V1 and from Titleist will give you the exact amount of spin you’re looking for.

The Pro V1 balls are favored by professional players the world over and it’s clear to see why. The ball excels in every category and always performs tremendously. The tech in the high-gradient core gives you plenty of long game spin and longer distance off the tee.

The soft urethane cover on the ball feels great to make connection with, and keep you in control as you fire your wedge shots into the green. It’s the Number 1 ball in golf for a reason and we know you’ll happily find a place for it in your bag.

Have you tried the Pro V1x balls? These balls are of a similar high quality and similar to the standard Pro V1 model, offering a superb all-round performance with more spin and a higher ball flight. This will really help you out if you tend to have a naturally low shot shape.

Whatever your budget, we want you to get the most out of your golf. If you’re uncertain of what kind of ball you should be playing with and would like to seek our advice, we’re available and happy to help in the pro shop.
