Abstract

A kit comprising a golf ball having a lower trajectory than a conventional golf ball such as the ProV1 or TopFlight XL Straight golf balls and a golf club with a loft that is selected in order to increase and optimize the distance that the golf ball travels when hit. The ball may be conforming or non-conforming ball having a plurality of dimple areas designed to generate low lift, or a golf ball with higher drag, higher weight, or smaller size than a standard ball.
