Hi Joe,

One of the key things to remember is that you want to play the golf ball that is going to help you shoot lower scores and the best way to find the right ball for your game is by evaluating the performance out on the course. This will give you the best ability to determine how the golf ball performs for all types of shots that you hit during a round of golf.

The best way to do this is by working from "green to tee."  So start by hitting partial swing shots to the green first and working back to full swing shots to the green, followed by longer shots and concluding the evaluation on the tee with the driver. You'll want to track fairways hit, greens hit in regulation and proximity to hole on approach shots.  

Another option is to play one model golf ball for nine holes and do the same with the secondary recommendation on the back nine. Additionally, feel preference is a part of the on course evaluation process as it relates to confidence in shot making ability.

From our research and extensive player testing with golfers of all skill levels we've seen that shots into the green provide you with the most scoring opportunities. Here is a pretty interesting chart for reference:

I hope this helps provide you with some more insight into the facts of golf ball fitting and here is a link to our on-course evaluation scorecards in case you want to download them. Keep us posted!
