I'm a lefty playing for about a year now, for an amature does the ball really make that much differance? I've been playing pinicale gold they seem to work well for me....some balls I've found on the course or in the water seem to feel like I'm hitting a rock especialy the titelist? I see some say things like distance or straight or spin? Is it hype or what?

I drive about 190 to 220 yards but I sometimes go left. My driver is a Taylormade with an offset.

There is not much doubt that the Titliest ProV1 series is the best best and most widely used ball in golf in the US. But the ProV1x should only by used if you have a swing speed of 90+ mph. It takes a lot of compression to get the the 'explosive' core of that ball. If you want to save a few bucks a dozen, the Srixon ZUR is very good ball and the most popular ball in Japan. Balls like Pinnicale which are just hard distance balls can exaggerate bad shots. If the balls you are hitting were found in the water, they can become 'waterlogged' and loose their distance and feel. But if you are a beginner I would recommend using almost any ball that looks and feels good to you, but use the some one each time for consistancy of distance and feel. Especially around the green for 'touch' shots. Different balls can have very different reactions to you club face and the green.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Callaway Hx Tour - I played Golf in college and carry a low handicap and I can tell you that the ball spin rate is very low resulting in more distance and better accuracy - I've hit thousands of balls in simulators, on the range, in competition and by simply using this ball, I've gained 15 yards on my drives and I'm more accurate with my approaches - believe it

alot of people swear by titleist esp the pro v1. I myself enjoy using the pinicale exception, have heard it is a good altertantive to the pro v1. I like the way it feels off the woods and drivers, and is fairly soft around the greens, but thinking of switching to Callaway ball esp the HX tour.

When I worked in a pro shop some 50 years ago, Titleist was the Cadillac of golf balls. I don't think that has changed one bit. I still love the Titleist!!
Chow!!

Titleist NXT Tour. Pro V1s are great balls but until I get my handicap down to scratch I have a hard time paying that much for balls.

the balls don't make that much of a difference but my favorite are the; "Ben Hogan: The Hawk Golf Balls". about $20- $25 per dozen.
