Do Self-Correcting Golf Balls Really Work?
If you are a golfer who suffers from a slice or a hook, you know how annoying it is. For this reason a company called Polara have created their range of self-correcting golf balls. But do they work? Ryan Heiman gives his opinion below.
Online, February 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A company called Polara have developed a golf ball with a special dimple pattern which apparently stops you from slicing or hooking your shots!
Could this be true? According to Ryan Heiman in his article below, it is.
Polara Self-Correcting Golf Ball Review:
These golf balls should be used by all high-handicap golfers.
We've all heard about the dwindling number of golfers, the incredibly slow rounds and the overall expense of golfing. Add to that, those that do go out to golf often struggle to break 100 and spray the ball all over the course. Wouldn't it be great if there was just one simple fix for amateur golf?
I think the Polara Self-Correcting Golf Ball is just about as close to a fix as you will find. It addresses just about everything mentioned above.
Polara claim these self-correcting golf balls reduce slices and hooks by up to 75%. I was curious to see how true this was. The concept behind the ball is literally rocket science, but in application it is really quite easy for any golfer to figure out. There is an arrow on the ball to point at your target. The dimple pattern through this middle section is much shallower, while the outer dimples are much deeper. It is a true point and shoot golf ball.
So how would it play on the course? I found it to be absolutely amazing. I didn't miss a fairway all day. This might be the first time for that, ever. It didn't seem to matter what swing I put on it, the ball just flew straight down the middle. Now, when I tried to hit a big cut, it still cut, but just barely. Normally it would have been a 40-yard cut, now it was a 5-yard one.
So how about distance? I tried one of these super-straight balls before but it didn't go anywhere. Not with these, they went maybe 3%-5% shorter than my normal ball. So on average I normally hit about 250-265 and these were 240-250. But then again I play to a single digit handicap, so I'm not typically far off line anyway, but in the hands of a high-handicap slicer, these things are miracle workers.
No more in the trees, in the water, out of bounds, etc. They do tend to work best also with a higher lofted driver. The lift is generated more by the club face than by the dimples with these. They say that many people even gain distance because they are straight.
