It is interesting to see how many different kinds of golf balls are in the market. There are so many, it seems like new ones show up every week. Golf balls are a big business as giants like Titleist, Callaway and Nike compete for your golf dollar. The real question is what is the difference between the balls?

Getting used golf balls instead of new ones will save a ton of money while letting you experiment with different kinds. Most used balls have excellent quality, and can usually be purchased for prices up to 50% lower than new ones. Finding the right retailer can take a little time, but they can be online or in regular stores.

There are also a lot of cheap golf balls out there that are just perfect for the high handicap player. These particular balls don't make a difference in the eyes of the golfer that has a 20 handicap or more. To be honest, paying a lot for a ball at this level is just a waste of money.

If you are a player that falls into this category, keep your money and invest in lessons or good clubs. Getting inexpensive balls at any sporting goods retailer is easy.

A great marketing idea is to use golf balls. They make great items to give away at corporate events, charity functions as well as tournaments. Putting your logo on them will help you to get your name out there in ways never thought possible.

Think about how many lost golf balls are rolling around out there, and consider what it would be like if those balls had your logo on them. Not a bad marketing gift at all.

Custom golf balls are the coolest way to put some personal style into them. You can put names, engravings, pictures or a million other things on a golf ball.

There is no shortage of ways to customize and tweak golf balls, and as long as gofers keep buying these versatile little globes, they will continue to grow in popularity and style.

The goal of putting couldn't be simpler: put the golf ball in the hole. Yet nothing quite shows the gap between 'simple' and 'easy' like putting. A proper setup is fundamental to of proper putting technique. Set up correctly, and the correct putting stroke will be more achievable. A four ball blade putter may enable you to line up the head correctly.

An optimal putt strokes an arc instead of a straight line. A smooth arc is natural and intuitive. Practice setting up to address the golf ball properly until it becomes instinctive and unconscious instead of mechanical, your feel and distance control will then get better and more consistent. You will increase your chances of making more putts and minimize the odds of three-putts.

The setup is fundamental to golf: get it right and you'll improve the likelihood of hitting the golf ball squarely. You'll also play more instinctively. Five lines of address comprise the building blocks of a correct setup. A four ball blade putter can enable you to notice if your setup is correct. The five lines will guide your setup to a correct one and make it so that you can be fitted with the right length of shaft. The five lines at address are:

1: The shaft and your forearms are in line. Your forearms and the shaft ought to be on the same plane. This is will allow your arms and the shaft to move in unison when you stroke. Grip the handle of your four ball blade putter through the palms instead of the fingers, that'll steer you toward proper alignment.

2: Your hands must be directly under the shoulder line. Bow forward from your hips and face the ground with your upper body. Your hands will then naturally sit under the shoulder line, free and clear of the body. You will want to have your elbows bent slightly, and no tension at all in your hands or arms.

3. Your eyes should settle over the ball. You've settled into your bowed forward stance. Now, lock let your eyes come to rest over the golf ball. It'll be easier to see the line if your eyes are lined up there or just inside the target line. If you have problems aligning correctly, consider a four ball blade putter. The unique alignment system will help you achieve correct alignment and takeaway.

4. Balance your weight on the middle of your feet. Once your eyes are over the ball, set up your feet at the proper distance from the ball. Can you feel your weight in the middle of your feet? If you're too close, your weight will settle on your heels, whereas if you're too far away, your weight will balance on your toes.

5. Align the shaft 90 degrees to the ground. You will be better off if you don't lean the four ball blade putter shaft forward or backward at address. That would change the built-in loft of the four ball blade putter, whereas if you're aligned 90 degrees to the ground, the face of your four ball blade putter will have about 4 degrees of loft: exactly what you want for the correct roll. If you just can't resist leaning the shaft forward at address, you'll have to add loft to the four ball blade putter face to offset your lean. The alignment balls on a four ball blade putter can help you see if you've compensated correctly.

It is worth reiterating that your stroke when putting should trace an arc. If you practice until you can consistently and instinctively align according to these five lines at address, you will find it quite a bit easier to stroke along the correct arc. Even though the arc tends to be small, it is easy to see in some people as a result of the effort to keep the putter head straight back to straight through. Avoid rocking your shoulders or your putter's path will be suboptimal. Learn to use these five lines by instinct to achieve a proper setup.
