As of the 2012 release, you may have as many as 16 different types of virtual golf balls in your bag.  Now is a good time to take a look at all of them to see what’s right for your game. Golden Tee’s site gives you a nice little graph showing the expected performance of [...]

Use these low-loft balls for good distance with maximum backspin and roll.

These balls provide the curve shots of the standard stock ball but with greater distance.

With cutting edge aerodynamics, this ball generates more distance with a bit more spin for curve shots.

The low compression core creates better distance with slower swing speeds. This means you get more distance out of a “slower” shot, and the ball just settles on the green instead of having a moderate amount of spin. So, this could be good for people who can’t pound long shots, but they don’t seem to [...]

A good all-around ball that gives you exceptional curve and superior backspin/roll.  It also doesn’t hurt you in other areas, except perhaps straight distance shots. NOTE — These balls are no longer available for purchase in Golden Tee 2012.

This ball is still tied for the longest ball Golden Tee has ever made. It’s described to have “ultimate distance, with more distance on straighter shots, and less spin control for curve shots”.  As you can tell from the graph, distance is about all you’ll get, making sacrifices on backspin/roll and curved shots. NOTE — [...]

DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these balls, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared with the Orbits, the Trackers travel up to 30 yards farther on full-full shots (A1 or C3) and 10-20 yards farther on hammer shots (B2).  Thumb shots are almost identical, [...]

A firmer cover provides increased distance on straight shots off the tee. These balls can be exciting, because the extra distance off the tee with a B2 shot can be huge! BUT, it also becomes difficult to gauge accurate distance off the tee, because of the boost. Practice some big B2 shots off the tee [...]

The Player features a resilient rubber core for better distance. The soft ionomer cover creates all the spin and control needed for curve shots. These balls are great for amateurs still getting a feel for the game as they provide a great combination of distance and spin that’s easy to control.

With maxed-out aerodynamics and a faster core, the Maniax generate great distance with a touch lower spin for curve shots. These balls are also a very solid option for your all-around game.
