10 Reviews: Best Golf Balls for Seniors (Apr 2024)

The design and performance of Vice Drive are better suitable to the novice than the pro-level player. That’s not a terrible thing since it’s rated for medium to slow swing speeds. These golf balls are ideal for damp and windy situations. The core has a softer feel, yet it is very resistant to impact and scuffing. Because of the high-quality DuPont Surlyn cover, the roll has a long roll and is more cut-resistant.

I believe I have found a favorite golf ball. I have been able to hit them an extra 20 yards with my slow swing (75 mph). I am 72 years old and have been getting 200-212 off the tee.

Despite having a slightly higher compression rating of 77, the TaylorMade Distance Plus is a firmer golf ball that is well-suited for older golfers. The 2-piece design is well-made and meets the usual medium compression rating. This meets the requirements of senior players, who want less spin and longer distance on all strokes. And it provides space when you truly need it.

Great value, I’m a senior go,for distance is important but accurate is very important and the TaylorMades are perfect

Considering its low cost, Srixon Soft Feel works well. Srixon provides a golf ball that is equally as powerful as more pricey options. It’s a two-piece design with a lightweight and soft feel. The center is somewhat softer, but it becomes tougher and stiffer as it approaches the core’s outside borders. When compared to a typical 3-4 layered golf ball, the slogan “less is more” comes to mind.

Senior. Don't hit the ball the way I used to. I seem to get that compressed 'squashed' feel with this ball more often that any other. Did some side by side tests. This ball seems at least as long as others I tried. Also, my favorite thing is that this ball feels better than any other ball I've tried off the putter and on those little chips and pitches around the greens.

The Volvik Vivid Golf Ball is recommended for a stronger and cleaner finish even in windy situations. This is one of those unique but inexpensive golf balls that can compete with the performance of high-end golf balls. The 342 dimple design is distinctive in that it guarantees the ball’s trajectory is smooth, controlled, and, most importantly, stable. Ball stability may be difficult to accomplish in strong winds due to a lack of consistency. So that’s one item you can cross off your list.

I did a lot of research and bought these for my dad who has pretty poor eyesight but loves golf (golfs 2xweek at least). They are VERY yellow and for some reason are much easier for him to spot in the grass. Definitely with the cost, and I would buy more for him for future gifts.

How do the Wilson Staff DUO Golf Balls fare on the green? They have a wonderful, comfy feel about them. They are also simple to manage. The Wilson Staff DUO is nothing out of the usual, yet it combines stability and a slower swing speed to create amazing distance. Finally, the ball’s low compression rating provides consistency where it is most needed. And it works for all sorts of senior-level shots.

Good feel from tee to green. For the money, these and or the elite 50's are a great playing goofball. At 63 I need an compression to achieve all the extra I can get. From distance to feel.

The TaylorMade Soft Response, along with the Tour Response ball, is one of two Response models that lie under the brand’s flagship TP5 offering. Soft Response was created with modest swing speeds in mind, providing all-around performance with a gentler feel thanks to a soft yet durable ionomer coating. If the Soft Response isn’t for you, be sure to read our comprehensive guide to the finest TaylorMade golf balls.

Liking these soft response balls. They go further and more accurately than my old balls. Will buy again.

The all-new Q-STAR TOUR DIVIDE from Srixon is a thrilling ball offering that sticks out on the course with its unusual 50/50 matte urethane coating. But DIVIDE is more than just a pretty face: it has all the drive-boosting, chip-stopping performance of a classic Q-STAR TOUR. Furthermore, it makes spin observable and setting alignment simpler than ever before. The longer your alignment line, the simpler it is to align your putts.

The secret to performance with the newest Tour Soft is Titleist’s largest-ever core and an ultra-thin 4CE grafted cover, making it one of the greatest Titleist golf balls in the current lineup. These factors work together to provide better distance and short-game spin than the preceding Tour Soft model. Furthermore, when we arrived at the green, the new T-shape side stamp design provided a useful alignment assist to help line up the putter and clubface.

I just got back into the game and needed balls. These were said to be good for seniors. They played fine, distance was good and the have a line up aid for putting. I will buy again.

The Bridgestone e6 is another golf ball designed to provide people with intermediate swing speeds the best of both worlds – the additional distance they want but with lots of feels. It does this via a redesigned two-piece construction that allows the ball to collapse more easily. Those with slower swing rates will gain the most from this. Given the low price, it is a top performer not just for seniors but also for people of all ages.

Great ball for a senior golfer. Soft feel around the green but maintain distance with the driver

The Titleist Pro V1 is without a doubt one of the finest for older golfers. The Pro V1 is created with rigorous engineering and attention to detail. While the Pro V1 has many amazing features, one stands out above the rest: consistency. With Pro V1, you can anticipate tremendous outcomes from every swing. When you consider the penetrating flight and long-game spin, the difference between Pro V1 and its opponents becomes much more apparent.

Christmas present for my retired father who loves golf. I've gotten him Pro-Vs probably 9 out of 10 past Christmases. I don't know why I bother wrapping them because he immediately knows what it is and is always excited about it. My dad would highly recommend!
