TaylorMade Noodle Long & Soft Golf Balls

Product Information

The entry-level price tag is attractive to bargain hunters and high handicappers prone to losing multiple balls every round. Chunking a Noodle into the water or slicing it out of bounds is far less devastating to your wallet and your mood than losing a brand-new premium Tour golf ball. Noodle golf balls are not only high-performing, but they also offer great value for money. These golf balls are priced competitively, making them attractive for golfers of all skill levels. Despite their lower price point compared to some premium golf balls, Noodle golf balls do not compromise on quality or performance.

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’.

Noodle’s patented 342 dimple designs produce improved aerodynamics for a straighter ball flight that cuts through the air for more distance. I can almost guarantee that if you keep the ball in the fairway and only hit 200 yards you’ll be able to lower your scores. That’s been the case with me and switching to a ball like this has definitely helped. 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.

Some golf brands measure compression of the core only and others will state compression for the entire ball. Either option is fine as long as you understand what you are reading. We prefer to see the compression values for the entire ball because it reflects more real life situations. The Best Compression Golf Ball For Every Swing Speed It’s not the best if you’re a lower handicap player because it doesn’t offer as much feel, control around the greens, or the ability to draw/fade the ball. They still can work though, and I still use them every now and again (not quite a low handicap player).

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 ConsistencyAdditionally, the energy-loaded core of the ball enhances the feel by providing a satisfying response off the clubface. Whether you are a seasoned golfer or a beginner, the improved feel offered by Noodle golf balls can boost your confidence and refine your skills on the course. Reduced Spin Looking at this golf ball in terms of forgiveness, you would choose this as a high handicapper with eagerness since it performs incredibly well. The spin depends on your choice of ball. For example, the Noodle Long and Soft Golf Balls keep the spin rate low off the tee. TaylorMade did this intentionally to increase the distance. Overall, we would say that the spin on these balls are pretty decent. Overview of Noodles Popular Golf Balls Brand From one premium brand to another.
