Do you have a favorite ball cover? I'm new to golf and from my looking around I see that there are different ball coverings ranging from very hard to soft.

There's Ionomer, Surlyn, urethane, lothane, and Fusablend and maybe more, I don't know.

So what do you like or do you even care?

The only thing I really know for SURE is that I HATE the Top Flight balls I've tried and they are Surlyn. Those XL 5000's are like hitting a boulder.
