A golf ball with 2 or 3 layers is the perfect fit for mid handicappers. The choice of 2 or 3 layers depends upon the personal preferences of each player. A 2-piece ball offers straightness and distance. In contrast, 3-piece is better at delivering better control. The 2-piece balls are also cheaper and long-lasting. However, if you want more control, a 3-piece ball it is. Players who often slice or hook the ball should stick to a 2-piece ball.
