Callaway Chrome Soft 360 Triple Track
The Callaway Chrome Soft 360 Triple Track pairs a soft feel with fast ball speed, a higher flight and a urethane cover designed for exceptional greenside control. Its most visible feature, however, is the 360 Triple Track design. Three contrasting lines extend around the ball, providing a clear reference when aiming putts or setting up on the tee. Golfers who struggle to trust their alignment (which most beginners do) will love this little aid to make tee shots and putts easier to hit or roll straight.
Try it if: You prefer a softer ball and want more help aiming your shots.

TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe
The Tour Response Stripe is another interesting option for golfers who appreciate visual feedback. Its 360-degree ClearPath Alignment stripe creates an easy-to-see reference for aiming the clubface and evaluating how the ball rolls after impact. Underneath the stripe is a soft golf ball with a cast urethane cover. That makes Tour Response a great option somewhere between value-oriented distance balls and higher-priced tour models. And by the way, when testing it, watch the stripe as the ball rolls toward the hole. A clean end-over-end appearance can provide immediate feedback on your start line and putting stroke.
Try it if: You want soft feel, a urethane cover and a bold alignment aid at a price below many tour balls.
The all-new Tour Response™ features revolutionary microcoating technology—a thin layer of paint engineered to promote consistent peak height performance, reliable distance, and tight left-to-right dispersion from tee to green.

Bridgestone e12 Straight
If hooks and slices are costing you shots, consider the Bridgestone e12 Straight. This model is engineered to reduce sidespin and provide a more forgiving flight. No golf ball can totally fix a major swing flaw, but choosing one designed to limit unwanted curvature may help turn a ball headed toward the rough into one that stays a little closer to the fairway. That can mean easier approach shots and fewer penalty strokes over the course of a round.
Try it if: Your priority is reducing unwanted hook or slice.
Product Details NEW! Optimal Flight System IMPROVED DISTANCE – Reduced hooks and slices for improved distance INCREASED FORGIVENESS – Contact Force Dimple for reduced side spin and increased forgiveness INNOVATIVE – Now featuring Innovative MindSet Technology Available Colors: White, Matte Green, and Matte Yellow Proudly Represented By: TIGER WOODS, JASON DAY, FRED COUPLES, KURT KITAYAMA, HARRY HALL, MATT KUCHAR, CHRIS GOTTERUP, TAKUMI KANAYA, BOO WEEKLY, AYAKA FURUE, MIA SAIGO, YURI YOSHIDA, AND SAKI BABA on international professional tours

Srixon Q-STAR ULTISPEED
The Srixon Q-STAR ULTISPEED is built for golfers seeking more ball speed and greater overall distance. It combines a FastLayer Core with Srixon’s 338 Speed Dimple Pattern and a thin cover to really tap into the power of its core. It also comes in a Trackline version for enhanced visual performance. This is a particularly useful ball to test late in the season, when cooler conditions can make your swing feel a little slower and shorter. Compare its carry distance with your usual ball and decide if a few extra yards are really what you’re looking for.
Try it if: Distance and ball speed are priorities and you want to stay around the mid-price range.
Q-STAR ULTISPEED is a totally new Srixon golf ball that delivers blistering ball speeds and extreme distance on every swing. By combining a completely redesigned FastLayer Core with our aerodynamic-boosting 338 Speed Dimple pattern and a soft, thin cover, ULTISPEED outperforms virtually every expectation of a distance-focused golf ball.

How to conduct your own golf ball test
In case you need some pointers on how to conduct your own ball test, start around the green rather than on the first tee. Hit chips, pitches and putts with two different models at a time and note which one gives you the most predictable response and comfortable feel. Then move to approach shots before comparing performance with the driver and irons out on the course.
Next, try each model for more than a few swings. Playing at least nine holes with the same ball will give you a better sense of its flight, feel and control under real conditions. Finally, and most importantly, judge the results that matter to your game. One golfer may need straighter tee shots, while another benefits more from added stopping power or a clearer alignment aid.
A few rounds are still plenty of time to experiment. Find the ball that performs best now, and you can begin next season with one equipment decision already settled.
