When it Comes to Distance, Not All Balls are Created Equal

whats-your-distance-ball-1.png
When most golfers walk up to the tee box they envision a perfect shot that travels long and straight, eventually coming to rest in the middle of the fairway. But sometimes, despite our best laid plans, the ball doesn’t make it past the front tee box! If you’re looking for a ball that will maximize distance, here are a few suggestions to help you gain some yards off the tee and with any club in the bag.

Which Golf Balls Are Best For Distance?

  1. Callaway Superhot: The focus of this ball is distance. The Superhot’s low-drag aerodynamics and resilient core can help golfers who struggle getting off the tee.

  2. Titleist Velocity: This offering from Titleist delivers extra pop thanks to its spherically tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design, which promotes an ideal penetrating trajectory with a shallower angle of descent for massive distance and roll. A firmer, resilient core will help you pick up some yards with every club in your bag.

  3. Nike hyperflight: Have you heard about the Hyperflight? This three-piece ball has a soft-compression core for hyper distance with enhanced speed. If you need help getting that optimum launch with the driver, try the Nike Hyperflight.  

  4. TaylorMade Aeroburner Pro:  This 3-piece ball absolutely explodes off the face faster and stays in the air longer. The Speed comes from TaylorMade’s high-energy REACT core that stores and releases energy with incredible efficiency. If you’re distant hungry, you might want to check out this one out

  5. Nike RZN Red: The RZN Red has excellent feel and is designed to reduce excess spin. Featuring materials that are lighter and faster than other models it promotes distance and a more consistent, stable ball flight. This is great for golfers who have swing speeds under 90mph

Genesis Invitational Gives Us The Reality Of Sports

I’ve written this before and I’m repeating it because it never ceases to amaze me how televised sports is the ultimate reality show, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as the now-defunct ABC Wild Word of Sports used as its intro. On the final hole of the Pebble Beach Open, Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5x) was hitting a shot off of pebbles on the beach on the 18th hole. His ball ended up in the ocean and resulted in a bogey, tying him for eighth place when he was close enough starting the hole for a much better finish. I thought his spirits were crushed and dismissed him for the Genesis Invitational. So what does he do? Goes on a tear and headed into the final day, chasing a tournament record score. But he nearly frittered away the win, coming undone on the back half of the back nine and eking out a single stroke victory, and only because he parred a four-foot putt that must have seemed much longer because of the pressure. That’s drama, real drama, not manufactured reality. He won the event for the first time in his 66th tournament on the PGA Tour and only 65 days after marrying.

It's Time To Talk About Tiger Woods Again

Some thoughts on the world of golf with the Masters less than eight weeks away: When Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) speaks, we all listen. As the host of the Genesis Invitational this week, Woods held his annual address about his health, career, playing in the Masters and the PGA Tour at large. Woods is gradually returning to swinging his clubs from his latest back surgery last fall, which naturally had reporters asking him about his playing status. He did not specify when he will return to playing again, yet he tersely and emphatically did not rule out playing in the Masters. “No,” he said. Woods has always tried to play in the Masters, no matter his physical condition.

Chris Gotterup Making A Name For Himself

Who is Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X), and why is he tearing it up early in the 2026 PGA Tour season? If you had asked golf fans heading into this year’s season, some may have known him and success he has had, but I don’t think there would be many who would say he was slated for a breakthrough season. But now the word is out: Not only is he a long-ball hitter off the tee and someone who can keep it in the fairway, but he also has a complete game and championship mettle. With two victories in only three tournaments in 2026, most recently last weekend beating two-time winner Hideki Matsuyama (Srixon Z-Star XV) in a playoff in the WM Phoenix Open, Gotterup is on a heater. Matsuyama, the tournament leader heading into the final round, was spraying his ball all over the course and was scrambling most of the day. Gotterup was quietly doing his own thing. In fact, while Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) was making a serious run for the lead that just fell one shot short after a seven-under par, Gotterup was putting together a similar round. He had the tournament lead after round one with an eight-under par – Scheffler was just hoping to make the cut after opening two-under par – but shot one-under par in his next two rounds. Gotterup really turned it on in the final round. He was two-under after the front nine, but five-under on the back nine, including birdying five of the last six holes.
