    Low Spin off Driver Balls Question.

    I am looking for a ball that will reduce slice off the driver.
    But I am not sure if these low spin balls actually do that.

    Does the 'low spin' mean that instead of going left/right the ball will stay more straight because of less spin
    or
    Does the 'low spin' have more to do with the launch angle and trajectory of the ball and nothing to do with eliminating slice?

    Has anyone used and noticed that they make any difference off the driver (if you are slicer for example)?

    Thanks

    There is no magic ball out there that will cure a bad swing. A slice is a slice any way you slice it....sorry, couldn't resist. But in regards to your question, one thing I have noticed is that some two piece balls help to reduce the amount of curvature on stray shots. I've played Noodles, Srixon AD333s, Wilson Zips and 50/50s and have found that offline shots tend to not to curve as much. Hope this helps.

    In the MAY 2009 Golf Digest they tested different balls, 2,3 and 4 piece and found that they all launch within 1° and 400 rpm of each other. As BigJohnny said there is no magical ball to cure a slice.
