I have been playing golf for a decade now and I am certain that I have played just about every type of golf ball out there, except for the new ones that continually come out. I would have to say that Noodle golf balls have become my favorite type of ball to play a round of 18 with.
The company behind the Noodle: Long and Soft brand of golf balls in none other than Taylor Made, which just happens to be one of my favorite golf brands. Several factors over the years have made me really appreciate the Noodle brand of golf balls.
Many people think all golf balls are the same, and that no strokes can be shaved by playing a certain ball. I am not one of these people. Sure, if you are a top-notch golfer, then you will play a decent round no matter what, but there are indeed differences in golf balls.
The main reason I enjoy the Noodle Long and Soft brand of ball is because the ball does exactly what it says it will do. It fly’s long and it is soft coming off of your club. Both of these things allow you to slow down your swing, while at the same time allowing you excellent distance. The ball is also very forgiving of errant swings.
There are two types of Noodle balls that Taylor Made produces.
- Long and Soft
- Easy Distance
Noodle Long and Soft: Specifically made for players with amateur swing speeds that average around 85 mph and above. This ball allows for long distances at lower swing speeds, a soft feel, and excellent greenside spin.
Easy Distance: Easy distance was created for players with amateur swing speeds that average around 85 mph and above as well. This ball offers increased ball speed, and will even give you a softer feel around the green as well.
I have played the Easy Distance as well, and I enjoy playing with it, but I would still say that the Long and Soft brand is the best.
Finally, you can’t really go wrong with the price of Noodles either. A standard price for a dozen balls (12) is around $14.95. However, if you keep your eyes peeled, then you will be able to find them at Walmart for $7.92-$11.95. Roger Dunn Golf Shops also offer great deals on the Noodle, as I have purchased there for $9.99 a dozen.
With the way golf balls are so overpriced these days, I would say that the price for a dozen Noodles is a steal. I encourage you to try out a box of Noodle Long and Soft golf balls. Play one round with them and see if they are not the longest and softest balls you have played with, especially for the price.
