TaylorMade Noodle Long & Soft Golf Balls

Product Information

A management buyout of the Dunlop Slazenger company was facilitated by private equity firm Cinven In 1996. This did not achieve the results that the management team expected and was soon under the control of a consortium of banks led by The Royal Bank of Scotland. Noodle golf balls are manufactured in Korea’s TaylorMade Adidas Golf manufacturing facility. This creates the certainty that these golf balls undergo strict manufacturing and quality controls that conform to the legal requirements set by the various governing bodies of golf. Callaway Supersoft golf ball is the softest golf ball designed and manufactured by Callaway to date. While marketed as low compression, they aren’t the softest feeling balls you will encounter. That Iothane cover only goes so far… I was surprised at how ‘hard’ they felt trying all three of the different Noodle golf balls. For the more flamboyant golfer that wants color in their game, Noodle offers red, blue, and lime green neon matte-colored golf balls. The neon matte colors increase the visibility of the golf balls in flight and are easier to find on the ground.

The Noodle Neon golf balls have a slightly higher compression ratio of 62. As a result, you might not get the same distance for a given swing speed. Even with a higher compression rating, they still feel relatively soft. I’ll start off by saying if you already compress the ball well then there’s probably no reason to go with Noodle. You’ll most likely get more distance with a higher-end ball. Everyone else could benefit from using it. One of the most striking benefits of using Noodle golf balls is the remarkable distance they provide. These balls are designed with a two-piece construction, which gives them an exceptional ability to cover large spaces. The core of the Noodle golf ball is engineered to respond to powerful swings, transferring energy efficiently for maximum distance. The Noodle golf ball stands out for its exceptional forgiveness, a particularly beneficial trait for beginners and high-handicap golfers. In the context of golf, forgiveness refers to a ball’s ability to minimize the effect of bad swings and off-center hits, keeping the ball reasonably straight and far. TaylorMade Noodle Neon Matte color golf balls are for the more adventurous and flamboyant golfers with its neon design available in red, blue, and lime green.Sure you can blow your budget and feel all fancy buying ProV1s or something similar, but honestly? For 12+ handicaps, these are going to get you 90% of the way there.

This review revealed that you get what you pay for. These entry-level distance balls spin low, accelerate off the clubface, and launch high. However, they produce limited greenside spin and control, which would aggravate skilled golfers. Some of the best-known golf balls are Noodle golf balls. The durability, affordability, and playability of Noodle golf balls have made them popular among high handicap and beginner golfers alike. Noodle balls are low compression. As a result, they aren’t as tightly ‘wound’. The upshot is that they compress more readily on the clubface, adding distance. They aren’t particularly suited to those with faster swings as the ball will spin more and be much more difficult to control. This leads to impressive distance gains and average distance, giving golfers an edge on the fairway. Whether you’re hitting from the tee or making your approach to the green, the distance advantage offered by Noodle golf balls can help lower scores and make the game more enjoyable. Consistent Flight Path But what about those rounds where you can’t hit it to save your life, you’ve lost three balls through 2 holes, and there are no signs of getting better?Looking at this golf ball in terms of forgiveness, you would choose this as a high handicapper with eagerness since it performs incredibly well. The spin depends on your choice of ball. For example, the Noodle Long and Soft Golf Balls keep the spin rate low off the tee. TaylorMade did this intentionally to increase the distance. Overall, we would say that the spin on these balls are pretty decent. Overview of Noodles Popular Golf Balls Brand The Noodle Long and Soft are only sold in plain white, which suits traditionalists. However, the TaylorMade-designed golf balls do not cater to golfers with visual impairments seeking an easy ball to trace in the air and spot on the turf. Higher Ball Flight For the money, the Noodle Long and Soft is an excellent choice. It offers a good middle ground between the Neon and the Easy Distance models. It is a sensible color and offers pretty good distance and control around the greens. If you swing slower, go for the Easy Distance. Do Noodle Golf Balls Go Further? The entry-level price tag is attractive to bargain hunters and high handicappers prone to losing multiple balls every round. Chunking a Noodle into the water or slicing it out of bounds is far less devastating to your wallet and your mood than losing a brand-new premium Tour golf ball. Although not competitive to premium golf balls around the green, the Noodle Neon Matte golf balls provide ample spin and feel to remain competitive in the value golf ball category.

It’s not to say it’s terrible, it’s certainly better than many of the cheaper balls I’ve played with, but if you’re a better player, this is where you’ll see a better ball have the most positive impact on your game. Should You Buy the Noodle Long and Soft? Golfers with a moderate swing speed from 80 mph to 90 mph will benefit most from the Long and Soft Noodle golf ball. At least, that’s what we would say is the highlight of this Noodle Long and Soft review. They are also similarly priced, but you get a little extra. These are a 3-piece golf ball. As a result, you are going to get slightly better performance for similar money. All are suited to beginners, seniors, and anyone who wants more distance. Generally speaking, golfers who play with a Noodle are looking for a ball that will produce more distance for them. What Are Noodle Golf Balls?Additionally, the energy-loaded core of the ball enhances the feel by providing a satisfying response off the clubface. Whether you are a seasoned golfer or a beginner, the improved feel offered by Noodle golf balls can boost your confidence and refine your skills on the course. Reduced Spin The biggest reason I’d recommend a Noodle ball is because of forgiveness. I remember I had a box of Taylormade balls (don’t remember the name) but I always seemed to lose a ball every few holes. Proper Storage: Store your Noodle golf balls in a cool, dry place when not in use. Proper storage can prevent any potential damage caused by moisture or heat and keep your balls in prime condition for your next round of golf. Remember, 200 yards but in the fairway is all you need. Noodle Long And Soft Specs Noodle Long And Soft Although the spin rate off the tee is kept low for the increased distance, the Noodle Long and soft golf ball does not sacrifice spin and feel around the green. It may not compare to premium golf balls but is comparable in feel to any other golf ball in the value category.

Their affordability, combined with their impressive features like increased speed, reduced spin, improved feel, and superior sound, make them an excellent investment for both seasoned golfers and beginners alike. Remember, the value of a golf ball is not just in its price but also in how much it can improve your game and enhance your overall golfing experience. Other Features of the Noodle Golf Ball The MaxFli TaylorMade Noodle Long and Soft is one of the most requested balls for Ball Lab. You’re all weird … a good number of you anyway. I get it. The Noodle is an affordable product with a fun name. It’s one of few beloved products where, even if deep down we know it’s not one of the best balls on the market, we don’t care. But the reality is, my game is far from consistent. When I’m playing really well, I benefit from the added feel, spin, and control from tour-level balls. Tony believes that golfers deserve to know what's real and what's not, and that means MyGolfSpy's equipment coverage must extend beyond the so-called facts as dictated by the same companies that created them.Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Golf balls are sensitive to temperature changes. Please do not leave them in extremely hot or cold environments for extended periods. For instance, avoid leaving your Noodle golf balls in the trunk of your car under the hot sun. Extreme temperatures can affect the balls’ low compression core and resilience, impacting their performance. I was surprised by how good these balls were. Now, it's all relative, they're no Tour-level ball. But at this price, for the average golfer who isn't a single-digit handicap, these will serve you just fine.
