The 8 Best Golf Balls For High Handicappers

Since no two high handicap golfers are the same, choosing the finest golf balls for them can be challenging. While some swing slowly, others quickly. While some golfers want a soft feel, others are only concerned with getting the farthest distance. Others like a ball that spins as little as possible to reduce hooks and slices, while some prefer to be able to generate a lot of spin on their short shots.


In spite of this, there are some golf balls that novice and high handicap players should pay extra attention to. Additionally, if you want to improve more of your golf equipment in 2022, be sure to read our posts on the best drivers for high handicappers and beginners, the most forgiving drivers, and the best high handicap irons. But first, here is our list of the top balls for amateur players and those with significant handicaps.



  • TaylorMade Distance+


Distance+ offers excellent value for newbies and higher-handicappers despite being at the opposite end of the pricing spectrum from the big rollers in this market.


It is made to provide the most driving distance with a midlaunch and includes an ionomer cover. The ball's carry distance is aided by the React Speed Core and 342 Aerodynamic Dimple Pattern. According to TaylorMade, you can anticipate a soft feel and mid-high wedge spin with 77 compression.


Thanks to the Plus Alignment Aid, which was created to make lining up your putts simple and provide you immediate feedback on your roll, the ball should also assist you on the greens.


  • Callaway ERC Soft


The new high energy core aids in making Callaway's most recent ERC Soft golf ball the longest soft golf ball in the company's history. We rated it as the best ball for amateurs in our robot balls test and it was released last year. It builds on the game-changing original that hit the streets in 2019 and was the first to feature Triple Track alignment lines, now on the Chrome Soft. The three-piece ERC retains its beautiful lines and delicate feel in this most recent iteration, but a new "High Energy Core" is intended to quicken the ball's motion from the tee to the green.


A new "hybrid" cover that promotes high launch and low spin (the recipe for distance) is also available. It is made with a sturdy PARALOID Impact Modifier from Dow.


  • Titleist Velocity


The popular club golfer Velocity ball from Titleist aims for sheer speed for greater distance in its 2022 generation. The performance of the new Titleist Velocity golf ball is the finest yet. Higher flight on all strokes, a longer driver and iron distance, extremely low long game spin, and a workable greenside feel combine to create this effect.


Every ball produced by Titleist at their own Ball Plant 2 in Massachusetts beginning with the 2022 model features a greater compression core and a redesigned cover to guarantee consistent performance and quality. To encourage a higher and more reliable flight, the golf ball has 350 spherically tiled octahedral dimples.


Titleist has also unveiled a new colour in response to golfers' feedback. The conventional white and the particularly noticeable matte.


  • Srixon AD333


If in doubt, a pack of AD333s is a safe bet. Since they first appeared on the market in 2006, they have been hailed as an excellent all-around value proposition for club golfers.


The ball's 10th generation was introduced by Srixon in 2021. It makes extensive use of the technology found in the company's high-end Z-Star balls and offers greater distance and forgiving than previous generations due to a slight compression reduction and reformulated FastLayer Core.


  • Bridgestone e6


Despite the e6's existence since 2005, the most recent model performs well in distance tests because of the faster compression made possible by its larger offset core.


It greatly aids in control that the surlyn cover has been made thinner. It can be difficult for newer players to generate spin, but doing so will assist you grip the putting surface.


The balls are a great deal at just over £20, and you'll benefit from the general soft feel in terms of feel.


  • Vice Drive


The low clubhead speed ball from the direct-to-consumer expert has a lot going for it, not the least of which is the cost. However, Vice encourages you to buy in bulk if you genuinely enjoy their work. If you purchase 60, each ball costs just £1.19. The famous 2-Piece DuPont Surlyn construction method guarantees you have a ball that performs well in all disciplines, and the Soft Energy Speed Core will help you squeeze out a few extra yards off the tee. The 312 large dimple pattern is intended to contribute to a more stable ball flight. Vice keeps coming up with new ways to give new golfers a chance.


  • Wilson Duo Soft+


Wilson Golf claims that the new Wilson Staff DUO Soft+ golf ball, which replaces the original DX2 Soft, now incorporates "Velociticor" technology, making it the softest and longest 35 compression two-piece golf ball on the market.


The Wilson Staff DUO Soft+'s innovative technology uses cutting-edge materials to extract and magnify every ounce of power from a player's swing, resulting in increased distance and superb feel with every stroke.


  • TaylorMade Soft Response


The TaylorMade Soft Response can hover for a longer period of time at slower spin rates thanks to a special Extended Flight Dimple pattern.


Players with moderate swing speeds can benefit from the ball's exceptionally soft feel and performance advantages provided by the low-compression core. Even at lower spin speeds, a shallower U-shaped dimple encourages less drag and more lift, which prolongs ball flight.
