Why is it so important even for amateurs golfers?

many golfers who plays around 5-10 games per year do not realize the importance of a golf ball. Some of them think that it will not make any difference on their games and only look at the prices instead of the advantages and disadvantages. The market for golf balls is over $ 560 millions and over 875 millions balls manufactured by the industries. Every company is battling very aggressively to produce the miracle ball that one day will travel from the first to the 18 holes in one shot! I wouldnt be surprise one day that someone will come with an insert micro chip inside that soon after your hit your ball, you will control with your remote and tell her where to go, and how far. Hey, they did it with the pulls carts and some of them end up in the lake

To understand a little bit more on how you should choose a golf ball, lets look at the advantage and disadvantage of theses balls. I will give the bottom line of each ball which will help you making an intelligence choice. First what is the most important thing that you are looking when you play golf? Do you look for distance, back spin, feel, durability or control? Once you have chosen your category, identify how much distance you are making with a driver and if the ball goes straight or not. If you need more distance and ready to sacrifice some control lowest compression will be the best ball for you. Usually theses balls are designed for lady, junior and seniors golfers. However if you are a golfer that has tendency of slicing, use a 90 compression which will help you keeping your shots straight in the fairway. Like I always said, if you are not a professional, control is a priority instead of distance. 90% of the golfers average 200-220 yards meaning a regular speed of 80 miles per hour at the impact of the ball. The key for distance is to take a ball which is about 10 compressions less than you average speed, if you play straight only. Here is a little chart below to give more information on golf balls.

80: Lowest compression is designed for lady, junior, and senior golfers. The softer core allows for a more spring-like effect off the club face, increasing distance while sacrificing some control.

90: The compression of choice for the mass of golfers who has slices.

100: Harder, tighter core that can really only be taken benefit of by advanced golfers with high swing speeds over 100 miles per hour.

Reason why I do not suggest any companies is simply to be fair with the industry as I am not here to promote any balls, but only to give you information that will help you enjoying this sport.

SOFTER OR hard LIKE A ROCK. I am gonna make a suggestion as this is personal feeling. Some people prefer soft which barely makes a sound and seems floating of the club around the greens. Some others will prefer hard for durability. One thing that everyone agrees on is the number of dimples, which increase better flies. Shallow dimples generate more spin than deeper ones, increase lift, also stay in the air longer and roll less. hope this will help you selecting the best ball for you, according to your actual swing.

Have a nice game Robert

When Electronic Arts set the bar fairly high with the release of madden 2008, they knew they had to raise it even higher in nba live 2008. The game is slated to be on all the major consoles such as the xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation portable, and the nintendo Wii. This years iteration seems to hearken back to the fundamentals of basketball. One new feature in the video game is an online tournament mode. This will be a 32 team tournament style playoff that plays similar to fantasy football.

Electronic Arts has not corroborated if this mode will entail any e-mail support, but it looks promising. The online choices appears to have some variety to it. Gamers can play a versus mode and quick play to name a few. Versus is playing against other players online and quick play is using your own customizable team. If you choose to create a team with Shaq and Kobe as teammates, you can do that. The ESPN heavy presentation gives nba live 2008 a more authentic television experience. Players will also notice a scenario mode (ala Madden) where you can generate a bizarre situation any way you want. Last seasons modes such as the mini-games, dynasty mode, and nba all star weekend will no doubt be making a return.

In terms gameplay, there looks like there will be more maneuvers being performed in the paint. The low post game is a point of emphasis in this years version of nba live 2008. Putting your back against the defender and executing fakes/shots will be strategic. A wide variety of shot selections can be used at the touch of a button. Another new feature in the game are the various cross-over dribbles and spins that can be utilized in conjunction with each other. Since the game an nba simulation, you cannot expect to see extravagant dribbles by Tim Duncan.

You will have significantly more success if you are doing cross-overs with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. These moves will be mapped to the right analog stick (ala nba live 2003). A shadow button has been included for better defensive positioning. Furthermore, expect to see players like Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce attempt fade away jump shots. Conversely, players like Dwayne Wade and Allen Iverson will drive towards the basket. The nba live series is always a step behind the critically acclaimed nba 2k series. Will this year be different? We will have to wait and see when nba live 2008 is available in October.
