Ladies Golf Balls have evolved far past the days when they were identified mainly by differences in color and packaging. As female golf continues to surge in popularity there is an increase in the market for competitive equipment. Today's Ladies Golf Balls deliver on that front entirely.
Women's Golf Balls must compensate for the slower average swing speed of the female golfer. They are designed with softer cores that will compress more easily than those of the men's market. A golf ball that compresses more at impact with a slower swing speed will generally come off the club face in an accelerating fashion and get a lot of air. The intention of this design is in large part to get the ball airborne and on trajectory while minimizing the negative effects of any spin that may have been created.
As the LPGA grows in popularity, many golfers are refining their games past the skill of a hobby hacker. The market has kept up with the demand for harder compression balls as well. Since swing speeds are generating and female players are demanding more movement in ball flight from a performance standpoint, there are Ladies Golf Balls that play workable from left to right while maximizing distance with harder designs. A ball with more resistance to compression will work wonderfully for the avid female golfer intent on working the ball and controlling trajectory to shape the shots necessary to compete.
Thankfully, this emphasis on performance to compete has not affected the emphasis on design and appearance in the women's lines. It is still possible to get an attractive ball that will outperform many of the bland all-white models on the men's side.
