This is more than just a review of a new golf ball. This is a call for action. It’s time to stop talking about the distance issue with golf today, to stop wasting time with studies and reports. It’s time to for golf to change, to adapt, to evolve. That time is NOW!
The new REVA Golf Ball by Callaway is a good golf ball but is unremarkable except for 1 very distinguishing detail – it’s BIGGER! 9 percent Bigger! The diameter of the REVA Golf Ball is 1.73 inches. Standard diameter is 1.68 inches. Callaway is marketing the REVA as a golf ball for women, and it is. It’s a soft, low compression ball, perfect for golfers with slower swing speeds, maximising launch and flight for these players. Of course, we can include junior golfers, beginners and seniors among those who would enjoy playing the Callaway REVA.
The major benefit for these golfers is the ease of getting the ball airborne. The extra size raises the equator, which makes it easier to strike the bottom of the ball, for shots from the fairway, the rough and especially around the greens.
However, the really exciting feature will never be advertised by Callaway. That is, the loss of distance for golfers with higher swing speeds. It’s a great ball for swing speeds up to 80mph, but swing faster and you’ll see a drop in performance, particularly with the driver. Players like Bryson De Chambeau and Dustin Johnson could lose as much as 50 yards from the tee! That’s great news! Why?
Because the Golf Ball flies TOO FAR!
Golf in general is facing a multitude of issues arising from the improvements in golf ball technology. Problems such as the need to build longer golf courses. This is expensive and time consuming for maintenance, so therefore golf prices go up. There are safety issues to consider as well as the speed of play.
We believe that the @The R&A and the @United State Golf Association (USGA) should set the wheels in motion for all golfers to play with a larger golf ball. Let’s consider a ball with a diameter of 1.75 inches, or even 1.8 inches. Let’s reel in the ridiculous distances, which @PGA Tour players are hitting the ball. At the same time, we’ll be developing golf at the grass roots levels, making golf easier, faster, safer and less expensive.
The transition required, to change over to a bigger ball will take a few years. That’s why it is vitally important that golf’s governing bodies take action now and save this great game!

Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.
External Focus of Attention. This means that instead of focusing on body parts, a golfer can and should focus more on the target, the ball, the clubhead – objects which are external to the body. The sciences involving Motor Skill Learning have proven that by employing an External Focus of Attention, sports men and women learn new moves more quickly, retain changes more readily and can perform better under pressure.
