Some balls just seem to leap off the face of the putter while others seem to come off more slowly. What causes this and what are some golf balls that come off the face slower?

So urethane would come off slower?

Correct. Putters do not produce enough speed to activate the other layers of the golf ball. The primary component to how a ball reacts to the putter is the cover. Urethane covers are much softer than other covers used on non-premium golf balls.

Check out Snell golf balls. Premium golf balls a mid-price range. Also you can also find a good amount of golf balls on sale late in the season as golf stores try to clear out stock. Bridgestone typically has a good amount of golf balls go on sale. Also some mid-range balls each year use Urethane covers as well. I would just take a look around first.

Thanks for the tips. Im sure with some investigation i can find something. Been thinking of upgrading to a tour ball anyway. Bridgestone e5 and tf gamer tour are both on my radar. Esp the gamer tour as its the same price as my current ball give or take pennies a ball.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
