Most beginner golfers are looking for the same thing from a golf ball, the balance of distance, low spin off the tee, and greenside feel. Many beginner and high handicap golfers also have a slower swing speed.
Nothing in our opinion does a better balancing act than a low compression, “soft” golf ball. Low compression golf balls are the best golf balls for beginners, especially beginner or high handicap golfers with swing speeds less than 95 miles per hour, which most are. Off the tee, a 2 piece construction generates low spin while low compression provides extra distance. The combination of both a softer cover and core provides more feel around the greens than other 2 piece golf balls.
With some at a retail price around 20 US dollars, low compression golf balls are a great value. We encourage you to try one of these and see why low compression balls are the best golf balls for beginners and high handicap golfers.
