Although the most recent "major" advance in golf
ball manufacturing was not designed with junior players in mind, it is the
trend's biggest benefit. Soft golf balls, often known as low compression golf balls in UK, are designed
for those with slower swing rates. Senior players and female players are often
included in this market. Junior golfers fall into this category as well.
Why
Should Kids Purchase Low Compression Golf Balls?
The first thing you should tell your junior golfer is that
they aren't ready to use the same equipment that their favourite PGA Tour pros
do. Even if children believe they are swinging as hard as they can, they are
not generating enough swing speed to benefit from the features of
top-of-the-line performance golf balls.
By minimising spin off the clubface, low compression golf
balls are meant to offer distance customised to slower strokes. In a beginner's
game, the reduced spin will also aid to reduce those annoying hooks and slices.
The decreased compression will feel softer to the young hitter, making touch
strokes around and on the greens easier.
You want golf balls with a compression rating of less than 60.
(players with faster swings can play balls with compressions up to 110). The
Callaway Supersoft, Titleist DT TruSoft, Srixon Soft Feel, and TaylorMade
Noodle are some of the balls to try in this category. Any of these alternatives
will deliver solid performance for most junior golfers' slower swing speeds.
Don't be afraid to use the terms "lady" and
"junior" interchangeably. Golf balls are designed to accommodate
different swing speeds, not gender or age. Despite this, many golf balls
marketed to youngsters are called "woman" or "women's."
Many junior boy golfers are of the mindset that they don't want anything to do
with the opposing gender, yet these gender-specific golf balls are great for
juvenile swing speeds.
Srixon Soft Feel Lady Pink, Callaway Supersoft Matte Pink,
TaylorMade Kalea Purple, and Pinnacle Soft Pink are some of the balls worth
trying. Off the faces of junior clubs, all will be well.
Themes
and Colors
Your young golfer has arrived at the ideal time for the game.
Color has expanded on the golf ball industry, but in the past, golf balls were
almost always white. Established players still prefer white golf balls and
consider colour to be a novelty, but kids enjoy the added personality.
Volvik golf balls have been the market leader in terms of
colour pallet, and they will almost certainly have a ball to match your
junior's favourite hue. Volvik has even ventured into the superhero market,
partnering with Marvel to produce themed packs of their famed Vivid golf balls,
complete with themed ball markers. The Volvik Vivid is a superb low compression
golf ball with distinctive Marvel designs that appeal to junior golfers:

America Volvik Vivid Golf Balls

The advent of patterned golf balls followed closely behind the
colour explosion. Callaway's renowned Chrome Soft golf ball series features a
familiar soccer ball-like appearance.
These balls will not only appeal to children because of their
unique appearance, but research has shown that patterned and brightly coloured
golf balls appear somewhat larger to the eye because of greater visibility.
Beginning swingers may find a ball that appears larger and less daunting.
Your junior golfer will have plenty of time to get serious
about the game and move to more traditional golf balls. Encourage kids to have
fun with their golf balls till then. Who knows, by the time today's kids make
it to the pro circuits, the white golf ball may be a thing of the past.
