It makes for interesting reading how the company progressed through the years and who makes Noodle golf balls now. Another advantageous attribute of Noodle golf balls is their reduced spin. This is particularly beneficial for golfers who struggle with hooks and slices, as excess spin can exaggerate these tendencies. With their energy-loaded core and aerodynamic dimple design, the two-piece construction of Noodle golf balls works hand-in-hand to control the spin, helping maintain a straighter trajectory and offering better accuracy. Swing Speed: If your swing speed is high, a Noodle golf ball with a higher compression rating can help optimize the energy transfer from your club to the ball, maximizing distance. Conversely, if your swing speed is slower, a lower compression ball may be more suitable as they compress more easily and can help you achieve greater distance. The latest Noodle golf balls are aimed at the average golfer with a swing speed of between 70 and 95 MPH.

Some of the best-known golf balls are Noodle golf balls. The durability, affordability, and playability of Noodle golf balls have made them popular among high handicap and beginner golfers alike.I found a Noodle in the bush one time (hole 4 or something) and it actually lasted the entire rest of the round. It’s not going to fix your hook or slice but I think you’d see better results using a softer ball like the Noodle. Since surlyn is a harder material, it can contribute to some extra distance and durability out of the golf ball. Urethane is a bit softer and promotes more spin and control out of yourshots. Being manufactured by TaylorMade adidas Golf you can rest assured that it follows the same quality assurance processes as the premium golf balls and conform to the legal requirements of the governing bodies of golf. The chart above shows some of the key metrics we measure with our gauges. As you can see, the first couple of dozens (blue and orange dots, respectively) are relatively consistent. You won’t mistake them for the best balls in the database but they’re not bad. The third dozen (red) is, on average, softer, heavier and bigger (the two Xs are the balls that exceed the USGA weight limit). With ball measurements, we’re always dealing with relatively small numbers but I think it’s reasonable to say that box No. 3 stands out as being different from the other two. Weight Consistency

The consistent flight path exhibited by Noodle golf balls is another attribute that sets them apart. Due to their aerodynamic design and energy-loaded core, these balls maintain a steady trajectory even in windy conditions. This predictability in flight path allows golfers to better plan their strokes and aim with increased precision. Spin remained in short supply when I started swinging my irons and wedges, given the high rebound core and stiff iothane cover. I generated below 4900 rpm with my 5-iron and only 9500 rpm with my pitching wedge. The biggest reason I’d recommend a Noodle ball is because of forgiveness. I remember I had a box of Taylormade balls (don’t remember the name) but I always seemed to lose a ball every few holes. I still think it’s the most forgiving golf ball in this price range (except those illegal balls) and that’s why I occasionally will still use one.The current range features the Noodle’ Long and Soft’, the Noodle’ Neon’, and the Noodle ‘Easy Distance’. Sure you can blow your budget and feel all fancy buying ProV1s or something similar, but honestly? For 12+ handicaps, these are going to get you 90% of the way there.

It’s not to say it’s terrible, it’s certainly better than many of the cheaper balls I’ve played with, but if you’re a better player, this is where you’ll see a better ball have the most positive impact on your game. Should You Buy the Noodle Long and Soft? The color on the cover is made of high-quality UV-resistant paint to retain the color for longer. A 342-dimple pattern is designed to minimize resistance in the air thus enabling the ball to travel farther.

Final Thoughts

The Noodle golf ball stands out for its exceptional forgiveness, a particularly beneficial trait for beginners and high-handicap golfers. In the context of golf, forgiveness refers to a ball’s ability to minimize the effect of bad swings and off-center hits, keeping the ball reasonably straight and far. As a result of the increased number of dimples, golf players can expect to get a significant increase in lift and a reduction in drag. I was satisfied with the cost of a dozen Noodle Long and Soft golf balls, which were less than half the price of a box of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.

Regular Inspection: Inspect your golf balls for visible wear and tear. Deep cuts, significant discoloration, or visible deformations could affect your Noodle golf balls’ performance. While marketed as low compression, they aren’t the softest feeling balls you will encounter. That Iothane cover only goes so far… I was surprised at how ‘hard’ they felt trying all three of the different Noodle golf balls. Spin and control golf balls are designed with an enhanced soft feel off the club face while also matching with explosive distance. This perfect combination allows a golfer to improve their control with the golf ball around the greens, making your short game a lot more accurate. These balls deliver a gradual descent which leads to greater accuracy because of a more stable flight. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Golf balls are sensitive to temperature changes. Please do not leave them in extremely hot or cold environments for extended periods. For instance, avoid leaving your Noodle golf balls in the trunk of your car under the hot sun. Extreme temperatures can affect the balls’ low compression core and resilience, impacting their performance. The premium golf ball is designed for the more confident player. Tour players will all use a range of different premium golf balls because these are made to spin less off the tee which delivers extreme distance on longer shots. However, on shorter shots around the greens these provide extreme spin which offers precise control of which any golfer at a fairly good level requires.This leads to impressive distance gains and average distance, giving golfers an edge on the fairway. Whether you’re hitting from the tee or making your approach to the green, the distance advantage offered by Noodle golf balls can help lower scores and make the game more enjoyable. Consistent Flight Path Although it disadvantaged my distance ambitions, a slower swinging beginner or high handicap will benefit from the consistent launch. Launch and Flight
