You\u2019ll most likely get more distance with a higher-end ball. Everyone else could benefit from using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle to compress the ball or you tend to hook\/slice the ball then I think you\u2019d get more distance using a Noodle compared to a Titleist or something else (at least I did). I used a Noodle ball when I was first getting started and I will say that when I struck a ProV1 pure it was probably further but that only happened 20% of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, I hit the Noodle golf ball further because I didn\u2019t have to compress it as much and it went much straighter. You\u2019d be surprised at how far you can hit the ball if you just kept it straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I use a Noodle ball now then it definitely won\u2019t go quite as far but I\u2019d still be fine with that because I\u2019ll find more fairways compared to a ProV1. There are other balls I like slightly more but you can\u2019t go wrong with a Noodle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Noodle Golf Ball Forgiveness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest reason I\u2019d recommend a Noodle ball is because of forgiveness. I remember I had a box of Taylormade balls (don\u2019t remember the name) but I always seemed to lose a ball every few holes. I found a Noodle in the bush one time (hole 4 or something) and it actually lasted the entire rest of the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noodle Long And Soft review\" class=\"wp-image-2584\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not going to fix your hook or slice but I think you\u2019d see better results using a soft ball like the Noodle. I still think it\u2019s the most forgiving golf ball in this price range (except those illegal balls) and that\u2019s why I occasionally will still use one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wintertime gets pretty wet here and since these balls are much cheaper I\u2019ll just use them. I need to keep the ball in the fairway because I\u2019ll never find it in the rough (it\u2019ll get buried). Remember, 200 yards but in the fairway is all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Noodle Long And Soft Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"tablepress-32\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Product<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Noodle Long And Soft<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Layers<\/td><td>2 Piece<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Compression<\/td><td>35<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cover Material<\/td><td>Surlyn<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spin Rate<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market<\/td><td>Beginner\/Intermediate<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The price can\u2019t be beaten.<\/li><li>Distance is great for higher handicaps.<\/li><li>They do spin pretty well on the greens.<\/li><li>They\u2019re easy to compress.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They aren\u2019t as easy to control as the higher-end balls.<\/li><li>There isn\u2019t a whole lot of feel to them.<\/li><li>Distance isn\u2019t as long as some.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Performance Score: 8<\/li><li>Quality Score: 9<\/li><li>Price Score: 9<\/li><li><strong>Personal Score: 8.5<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q.

Taylormade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Who are Noodle balls made for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Higher handicaps as well as average players who don\u2019t want to spend a fortune on balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Is there a better ball out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. You can see our full list of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/golf-balls\/best-golf-balls-average-golfers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best golf balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Are Noodle balls good for seniors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Yes, they\u2019re one of the best in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, if you\u2019re in the market for a new golf ball and don\u2019t want to spend a fortune, you have a slower swing speed, you tend to hook\/slice the ball, or you want forgiveness over distance then the Long and Soft could be perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not the best if you\u2019re a lower handicap player because it doesn\u2019t 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can almost guarantee that if you keep the ball in the fairway and only hit 200 yards you\u2019ll be able to lower your scores. That\u2019s been the case with me and switching to a ball like this has definitely helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be the clown who goes out and buys 12 ProV1\u2019s for 50 bucks and shoots 95. That\u2019s one of the most ridiculous things in my opinion. Save your money and lower your scores because the Noodle Long and Soft will give you the best bang for your buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-f8a2675a-1f1d-4b10-90be-373aff769347\"><li><em><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B078S2SWT8?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check the price on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B078S2SWT8\" data-aawp-product-title=\"TaylorMade 2018 Noodle Long &amp; Soft Golf Ball White  Pack of 15\"><strong>Check the price on Amazon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know your thoughts and any questions you have.
