Strata Golf Ball Review

Strata Tour Ultimate Golf Ball
Specs

The Strata Tour Ultimate is a midspin and mid-distance golf ball for the high handicapper. The 80 compression, multi-layered ball was developed for the average golfer. This ball has a Tungsten Energy core, soft urethane cover with 350 dimples, and is meant to fly straighter and farther when hit correctly. The new technology used has the core weight centered, which increases ball speed, launch angle and spin, adding to farther distances. The price will vary from retailer, but a dozen will cost about $15 as of September 2009.

Perks

A softer core makes the ball land on the green and not bounce as much, and with the core weight centered, it does fly farther. The price is good for the average golfer.

Sacrifices

The urethane cover might not be the best among golf balls because it cuts easily and spins more than you might like if you happen to have a faster club-head speed.

Bottom Line

This is a good ball to play with if you are a high handicapper because of the distance you get. If you are someone who hits a lot of lost balls, this will be nice because of the price.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Using Frequency to Test the Flex of Your Shafts
by Jeff Jackson
What's the flex of your shafts? At one time, a golfer could safely answer that his or her shafts were stiff, regular or ladies flex. That simply isn't the case any longer. Most manufacturers have their own method of shaft measurement. What this means is that one company's "R" flex shaft may actually be softer than another's "A" or even "L" flex. How, then, can a golfer select the appropriate shaft if no manufacturing standard exists? In a word: frequency.
