With regards to ball flight technology during lessons, I try to keep things pretty simple for my students as most people we teach are beginners. So, I may show a student the difference in spin between a Titleist pro v1 and a Pinnacle or some other hard (low spin) ball in the short game area per say, so they can see how different balls react around the greens and how that the ball you play really can make quite a difference. I personally rely on golf ball technology pretty heavily because it matters if you’re a better player. As for a typical beginner, I really leave it up to them but make it clear to them that though golf ball technology matters and helps, it’s still not going to prevent you from losing balls in the beginning. So, it may be a wise choice to play cheaper balls starting out until you learn how to keep the ball more in play.
