No matter how good a golfer you are, you can never go wrong with a fresh set of balls. So if you’ve got a golf fan in your life, a new set from TaylorMade could make the perfect Christmas present.
Right now, you can pick up a 12-pack of the TaylorMade Distance+ Golf Balls for £18.75. They’re available in both white and yellow, these balls are designed for picking up solid pace and adding a bit more distance to your swings.
These high-velocity balls feature low-drag aerodynamics thanks to their 342 dimples, and you should get an ultra-soft feel with each hit thanks to their two-piece construction and the softREACT core’s compressibility. Each ball also comes with alignment aids, helping to strike them more accurately. Simply ball’s line is trained on your intended trajectory, and strike true for more consistent aiming on the green.
On Amazon, these balls have an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 4,000 reviews. “Good quality, no issues with them for the price. Unless you’re professional there’s no need to pay more,” said one five-star review. “They have a nice coloured line on them already to line up putts. Good average distance on drives compared to other brands.”
“Reasonably priced balls for the quality,” said another happy customer. “They have a good distance to them. Plenty of markings for lining up and for ID. Will buy again.”
Another added: “I purchased these TaylorMade Golf Balls for my recent golfing holiday to Spain. They were great. They would have performed even better if the golfer using them had played better, but that’s another story.”
Some have found that they’re quite hard, especially during cold weather. “There are better balls out there at this price point that’ll do just as good a job and not feel like you’ve struck a marble,” said one review. Another concurred: “Liked them during warm weather, but when it turned cooler in the fall it felt like I was hitting a rock off the face of the club.”
If identifying your own golf balls is a big priority, you could opt for this novelty emoji set at Wowcher for £14.99. Also available for £14.99 are these Inesis balls from Decathlon, coming in five colours.
For a reputable brand, plenty of happy customers, and some of the fastest balls around, the 12-pack of the TaylorMade Distance+ Golf Balls is a great pick.
