Which golf ball would be the best one for me?
-
I use the adams golf ovation set and have a little trouble slicing the ball. I was just wondering what golf ball would help me stop this. I don't care about the brand that it is as long as it is affordable and will help me stop this slicing. My swing speed is average and I drive the ball about 240+ when it hits the fairway which isn't often.

Answer:
There is not a golf ball on the market that will cure the slice. In fact most balls mostly come down to spin and feel along the line that you hit it. Feel is just the feeling upon impact as in a ProV1 vs. a Top Flight. One will just feel better on a correctly hit shot. Also, why buy a golf ball to fix your slice off the tee. Most of your shots are made fairway and in. Most likely you have some issues with your swing. Possibly not finishing, alignment etc. If you are driving the ball 240 you have the power, just not the accuracy in the swing. I am a STRONG proponent of not buying new equipment to fix things, but rather gettting lessons. In the long run lessons really pay off the most for amateur glfers.

Should changing the golf ball be your option...I would suggest the Pinnacle Distance in the pink box. It keeps your fades and slices under control, you can even work the ball with the irons off the tee box with a slight characteristics of a draw... Spins better than the old days of rocks and therefore checks up better than other distance balls towards the green... Putting...wont hit hot and take off on you...you can actually obtain the distance feel with feedback. They are about $17 a dozen & for what your getting, this is not a bad ball at all.

I wish it was that easy, sounds like the swing may be the problem, but I would try any of the Top-flight straight series of balls on the market. They will produce less spin, side spin for your slice, but it will reduce the amount of back spin for control on the greens. Good luck!

You might look into the Bridgestone e6+. It is supposed to be designed to reduce sidespin (which is a factor of slices and hooks). Golf Digest backs that claim up. You'll lose some spin around the green, but if you're not worried about it, you won't really lose anything.

No ball will help you stop slicing because the slice is caused by your swing. You're coming over the top and swinging inside out causing the ball to slice. Work on squaring the golf club at impact and your slice will disappear.

I don't think changing the golf ball or brand is the answer to your fix. A slice happen when you swing the golf club with a open face usually with an outside to in swing. If you want a quick fix to your slicing without really correcting your swing path, you should strengthen your grip (not hold the club tighter) . A more stronger grip means your left hand will be rotated more toward the right while on the grip. A weaker grip is when your left hand thumb is positioned more toward the left and aligns with the middle or left of the center line on the grip. This usually will produce a slice unless you are quick with your hands in turning over the club head on in-pack. (not recommended) This is a quick fix but I would recommend you correcting your grip, stance, posture and swing path. Try the above when you are on the course and don't know what to do. I would rather have the club do all the work rather than flipping the head over and guessing on the timing. The basic golf swing is very similar to a baseball swing. You don't swing a baseball bat with only your arms. Thinking baseball swing will also produce a beter turn or your shoulders and better release of the golf club, rather that just using your arms like many beginners do. To hit the ball straight or produce a draw (opposite of a fade or slice) You may also want to adjust your stance at address by pulling back you rear feet a little which will cause you to strike the ball on a inside to out swing which will produce a straight or draw shot. Imagine you are aligning your body to hit to 1st base, but your golf club head is facing straight toward your target. Make sure your take away going back is not outside to in. A good drill would be to remember to push the club back on your take away with your left hand instead of pulling up with your right hand. Pulling up with your right hand will normally start the club going outward. Pushing the with your left hand will take the club on a straighter or a little to the inside which is what you want. Practice this until you get the hang of it. It's really simple once you understand what causes a slice. It's not the ball. It's you.that is causing it.
