What they’re saying: Equipment companies, PGA Tour and players react to the USGA, R&A golf ball rollback

“We feel like the rollback is simply disconnected from what golfers believe is best for the game.”

Early reports were confirmed on Wednesday morning by the United States Golf Association and the R&A that a golf ball rollback is just a few years away.

Starting in 2028, golf’s governing bodies will change how golf balls will be tested for conformity to reduce the effects of distance in the sport (to learn how balls are tested, click here). 

Nearly every golf ball being sold today – including the Titleist Pro V1, Callaway Chrome Soft, TaylorMade TP5, Bridgestone Tour B and Srixon Z-Star – would go too far and fail the new test. Balls that had previously been legal but failed the new test will be removed from the Conforming Ball list, making them illegal for official play starting Jan. 1, 2028.

The news produced quite a reaction from golf equipment companies, professional tours and their players. Here’s what they had to say about the USGA and R&A’s news of a golf ball rollback.

Best affordable golf balls for 2023

Golf balls that will help your improve your game, without costing as much as your entire round.

For many amateur golfers, it’s tough to justify spending $40, $50, $60 on a box of golf balls. Odds are you’re losing one of the first tee if you had no time to warm up anyway.

It’s important to buy a golf ball that performs well and isn’t going to break the bank.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best affordable golf balls on the market from brands like Titleist, TaylorMade, Srixon, Callaway and more.

The best balls on the market — Titleist ProV1, TaylorMade TP5, etc. — go for $50-plus a box. So, every deal we found for you is $35 and under.

Plus, check out some of our other recently released lists for those wanting to improve their score without breaking the bank: Best affordable putters for 2023, best affordable wedges for 2023 and best affordable drivers for 2023.

Best golf gloves for 2023

If you want to look like J.P. Prewitt, you’re going to need a great golf glove.

Golf gloves often go overlooked by amateur players, as they use them until they turn brown and crusty. Making sure that your glove is always in great condition will keep your hands in better shape, plus, it’ll feel a lot better, too. Always having a fresh one in your bag will ensure you’re never playing a round with a hole in your glove’s finger or palm.

We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite golf gloves from brands like Titleist, FootJoy, Nike, TaylorMade, Callaway and more.
