Frenzy balls (New to GT 2012)

Best Virtual Balls for Amateurs in 2011

By • Updated: Nov 1st, 2010 • Category: Features, Golden Tee golf balls

By now you’ve probably seen the grid that the guys at IT put together to compare Distance, Backspin, Curve and Loft for all available virtual balls in Golden Tee 2011. It’s certainly a nice resource, but it might scare you away from trying different types of balls if you establish an opinion based solely on […]


Air-O Balls — Can You Benefit From Them?

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: 2010 - Golden Tee LIVE 2011, Features, Golden Tee golf balls

You may have seen some pretty awesome YouTube shots this month where you saw someone (probably Putz) drive a par 4 that you never thought possible, just by hitting it straight.  I’ll point out four pretty sweet examples: Timber Bay #15 Grizzly Flats #7 Falcon Sands #6 Falcon Sands #7 I don’t even have examples […]


Stock Balls (Formerly D2 Straight)

By • Updated: Aug 10th, 2010 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

By default in Golden Tee, all players hit what is called the “stock” ball. It is free, and you never run out of them.  The standard ball used in Golden Tee LIVE provides good distance and spin control. These balls are perfect for beginners! However, you can also buy a 12-pack of any of the […]


Tracker Balls (Formerly 2010 Gamer v2)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these balls, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared with the Orbits, the Trackers travel up to 30 yards farther on full-full shots (A1 or C3) and 10-20 yards farther on hammer shots (B2).  Thumb shots are almost identical, […]


Ranger Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Divas)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The low compression core creates better distance with slower swing speeds. This means you get more distance out of a “slower” shot, and the ball just settles on the green instead of having a moderate amount of spin. So, this could be good for people who can’t pound long shots, but they don’t seem to […]


Air-O Balls (Formerly 2010 D2 Distance)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

A firmer cover provides increased distance on straight shots off the tee. These balls can be exciting, because the extra distance off the tee with a B2 shot can be huge! BUT, it also becomes difficult to gauge accurate distance off the tee, because of the boost. Practice some big B2 shots off the tee […]


Player Balls (Formerly 2009 Gamers)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

The Player features a resilient rubber core for better distance. The soft ionomer cover creates all the spin and control needed for curve shots. These balls are great for amateurs still getting a feel for the game as they provide a great combination of distance and spin that’s easy to control. *Available for purchase on […]


Maniax Balls (Formerly 2009 Freaks)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

With maxed-out aerodynamics and a faster core, the Maniax generate great distance with a touch lower spin for curve shots. These balls are also a very solid option for your all-around game. *Available for purchase on GT LIVE 2009-2013.


Streak Balls (Formerly 2008 XL Extreme Distance (Yellow))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball gives you maximum distance and is best for low-lofted shots that can cut through the wind. The ball curves well to get maximum distance off your A1 and C3 shots.  However, you don’t get much backspin/roll at all with this ball, so it makes it difficult to get approach shots closer to the […]


Orbit Balls (Formerly D2 Feel)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball is best for high, lofted shots and gives you maximum backspin/roll. Sometimes I think this ball gives me too much roll, and I’d rather have the extra distance while keeping the normal roll of other balls. *Available to purchase on GT LIVE 2010-2013.


Hurtle Balls (Formerly 2007 XL Extreme Tour (Black and white box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

Another very long ball described to “travel the farthest, but backspin and roll are less effective”.  Very comparable to the Streak balls — slightly less distance, but slightly more curve.  This is currently the most popular ball in the game amongst the pros and is also recommended for all amateurs. *Available to purchase on GT […]


Pummel Balls (Formerly 2007 Quartz (Yellow ball with green box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball goes just slightly farther than the stock ball but has lots of spin. It’s described to have “maximum backspin and roll, with extra spin for superior curve shots”.  You can make this ball do about anything! *First available in 2007, but no longer available to purchase in GT LIVE 2013.


Spinny Balls (Formerly TL Tours)

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

A good all-around ball that gives you exceptional curve and superior backspin/roll.  It also doesn’t hurt you in other areas, except perhaps straight distance shots. * Last available for purchase in GT LIVE 2011.


Juice Balls (Formerly 2008 Long and Soft Distance (Orange))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball adds distance but maintains normal amount of spin for your hooking shots and backspin/roll.  It’s a great “control” ball that gives you a little extra distance to boot. *Available for purchase in GT LIVE 2008-2013.


Straight Jacket Balls (Formerly 2007 TL Distance (Blue box))

By • Updated: Oct 30th, 2012 • Category: Golden Tee golf balls

This ball is still tied for the longest ball Golden Tee has ever made. It’s described to have “ultimate distance, with more distance on straighter shots, and less spin control for curve shots”.  As you can tell from the graph, distance is about all you’ll get, making sacrifices on backspin/roll and curved shots. *Only available […]

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2010 • Category: Features, Golden Tee golf balls
