Hi everyone and welcome to my Golf Balls World website. Since moving to Canada I have discovered the beautiful game of golf and it quickly became my passion.
Growing up I had no opportunity to get involved with golf, but since I started playing my life has completely changed.
I enjoy learning about golf, studying the game, and practicing whenever I can. With all the knowledge I am absorbing I want to give you an in-depth look into golf balls. More importantly, I want to help you find the right one for your game.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Economics, which helped me broaden my knowledge and assisted me in my life journey. Additionally, I have obtained a certificate in Sports and Recreation Management which was something I always wanted to have.

The Game Is Evolving
Like every other game, golf has changed and evolved over the years. Nowadays, players are hitting the ball harder and longer than ever. But as we know, it does not all have to do with strength and distance; it has a lot to do with technique and the advanced equipment technology being offered.
Even if it does not seem so, the golf ball is one of the most important pieces of equipment. There are a lot of golf balls on the market, and choosing one can often be overwhelming, to say the least. I know that from personal experience, especially if you are just starting to play the game. Companies keep developing new technologies and materials the golf balls are made of, claiming you will hit it straighter, better, and longer.
In all this sea of new products, you absolutely want to choose the perfect one that will indeed improve your game.
Options to Narrow Your Choices
Golfers on every level will probably try and change at least a few different brands and types of golf balls until they find that perfect one. Sometimes it is a matter of personal preference, other times it depends on where your game is at. My goal is to have a website that will make your golf ball choice easier, and also help you improve your game. Much of the content I will be discussing here will be focusing on all topics related to golf balls as well as tips on how to improve your golf game.
All this is meant to help you choose the golf ball that suits you the most and help you become a better golfer.
Practice and Dedication
At the end of the day only consistent practice, playing time, and dedication will improve your game. I am rediscovering that every time I go to a course or a driving range.
Don’t focus only on your handicap and remember to enjoy the game,

Blind in my left eye since age 4. Playing golf >50yrs. 82 y/o male with current Hdcp11. Rt handed wearing glasses for min blurring at distance. Do you think certain colored golf balls give a better depth perception than other colors vs white balls?
Hi Billy,
That’s a great question—thanks for asking!
Depth perception is especially important in golf, and certain colors can improve it better than white. Based on visual perception science, color theory, and real-world sports applications, yellow and orange golf balls tend to provide better contrast against green grass and a bright sky. This contrast makes it easier to judge distance, especially when depth cues like stereoscopic vision aren’t available.
From personal experience, I’ve seen this in action—one of my golf buddies plays with a red Callaway Supersoft, and I can tell you it stands out well. I’ve also been considering switching to a yellow golf ball myself, as I believe it offers better visibility and adds a bit of fun to the game.
Given your experience and background, you might find yellow, orange, or red golf balls easier to track and judge in flight compared to white. It might be worth testing a few colors to see which works best for you.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you try any of them out!
My problem is at impact as no depth perception. My miss is thin. I hit irons of tee on par 3s without much problem but off turf thin is in play. Wii adjust with the colors you suggest. Just watched a great 2 Hr. video by Chuck Cook and I think that wii help my impact regardless of color. Will give follow up.
Hi Billy,
Thank you for the follow-up. I understand how depth perception at impact can be tricky, especially off the turf. It makes sense that hitting irons off a tee on par 3s feels more comfortable since the ball position is more defined.
Glad to hear you’re checking out Chuck Cook’s insights. He’s got some good knowledge to share, and if that helps with your impact, even better! Hopefully, the color adjustments will also give you an extra edge. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you. Keep me posted!
