Picking the Right Golf Ball
A Perfect Golf Ball For Every Golfer
We understand that not every recreational golfer is going to need, or want, the exact same amount of self-correction. So, our engineers have spent countless hours designing 4 different anti-slice golf balls. We currently offer our original products, the Ultimate Straight and Ultimate Straight XS (up to 75% correction) as well as our newest designs, the XD and XDS (up to 50% correction and a bit more distance)
When you need the most hook & slice prevention:
Regular Spin | Extra Spin for Green Stopping Control | |
These are our straightest balls and are designed for the recreational golfer whose main problem is significant and persistent hooking or slicing off the tee. These self-correcting golf balls are designed to correct hooks and slices by as much as 75%! This means that if you slice a regular golf ball 100 feet, the exact same swing with our anti-slice golf ball would only slice about 25 feet – improving your golf game and leaving you in the fairway instead of the rough. Both the Ultimate Straight and Ultimate Straight XS have the exact same dimple patterns so both are equally “self correcting”. The difference between these two anti-slice golf balls is that the Ultimate Straight is a 2-piece construction consisting of a central core and an outer cover, while the Ultimate Straight XS is a 3-piece construction consisting of a central core, a boundary layer, and the outer cover. The 3-piece construction allows the XS accuracy golf ball to have higher spin off of short irons, resulting in more feel and “bite” around the greens.
A key component of how these balls fly so straight is that they exhibit less aerodynamic lift than other golf balls. This has the nice benefit of reducing hooks and fixing slices, but will also result in lower than normal ball flight. Because of this lower than normal ball flight, we recommend that you use a driver with more loft than normal (11 degrees or higher) off the tee. The Polara Advantage 12 degree driver is often the perfect match with the Polara Ultimate Straight ball - gives straight flight and awesome distance!
When you want maximum distance, but need some reduction of hooks & slices:
Regular Spin | Extra Spin for Green Stopping Control | |
Our newest golf improvement products, the XD and the XDS are anti-slice golf balls designed for the recreational golfer who struggles with hooks and slices off the tee, but perhaps hits a fair number of straight shots as well, or whose hooks or slices are not particularly severe. For this player, we’ve designed the XD and XDS to correct up to 50% of hooks and slices, so if your slice typically goes 60 feet to the right with a normal ball, this ball will only slice about 30 feet. As with our Ultimate Straight balls, both the XD and XDS each have the exact same dimple patterns so both are equally “self correcting”. The XD is a 2-piece construction, while the XDS is a 3-piece construction designed for higher spin into the green off of short irons.
Because these balls were designed to be less corrective than our Ultimate Straight, we were able to raise aerodynamic lift just a bit, so these balls will fly higher in general, and ball flight should be fairly typical with your standard driver. The resulting ball flight will result in a higher trajectory and longer carry distances than our Ultimate Straight golf balls – hence the designation “XD” for Extra Distance (relative to our Ultimate Straight).
