Definitely agree with the lower compression idea! The Srixon Soft feel balls have worked wonders for me. Practice your short game with those to see improvements.
I find that working on my putting with softer balls, like the Titleist TruFeel, helps a lot. Better feel equals more confidence on the greens!
That’s true! Putting is key for us high handicappers. What drills do you guys use to practice your putting?
I typically practice with the ‘gate drill’—putting through two tees, making sure my stroke is straight. It dramatically helped my success rate!
That sounds effective! I should try that. Any strategies for driving with those balls?
Focus on rhythm rather than power when driving. The Wilson Duo Soft is great—it allows for easy distance with less swing effort.
I’ve found that using a tee with those balls helps elevate my drives. I’m all about maximizing every stroke with these high handicap-friendly balls.
Right? Plus, the right gear can really make a difference. Anyone try using colorful balls for better visibility?
Colorful balls can be a game-changer on the course; they definitely improve visibility. I play with the Vice Golf balls sometimes for that reason.
I’d love to know how those perform! Do they really help with distance?
Vice balls are surprisingly good! They deliver on distance and spin. It’s all about finding the right model for what you need!
Before I forget—don’t underestimate the importance of proper alignment. A simple alignment stick can boost your accuracy!
Great tip! Alignment is key, but it feels like half the game is just figuring out which ball suits your game best!
For high handicappers, I highly recommend the Srixon Q-Star. It’s affordable, offers great spin, and holds up well over time. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my short game since switching to it!
I’ve used the Q-Star too! It really helps with control around the greens. Definitely worth a try!
I’ve been using the Callaway Supersoft balls and they are fantastic! They are super soft, allowing for better feel and distance. Plus, they’re quite durable for the price!

Totally agree! The Supersoft really helps with my confidence on the course. I can play longer without losing a ton of balls.
What do you all think about the Titleist NXT Tour? I’ve heard mixed reviews about it being ideal for high handicappers.

The NXT Tour is decent, but I found it to be a bit pricey. For a high handicapper, it’s best to save that money for more lessons instead!
I mean, who doesn’t love a good deal? Look for balls on clearance! I scored some Bridgestone E6 balls last season at a bargain and they worked wonders!
