As a beginner, would the type of ball used really make a difference? Or am I better off just buying the cheapest I can find?
To anyone starting out I'd recommend the Calaway supersoft, feel like a premium ball and you were able to get 15 ball packs for £20.
If you are a real beginner you should try as many balls as you can and it really will not make much difference.
It is only by trying as many different balls as you can will you work out what type of ball you like - soft, hard or something in between, and it is only when you become better at the game will you work out if you like a ball that lands and runs, one that lands and stops or something in between.

As a relative newcomer to golf I'd tried lots of different brands and not noticed a great deal of difference. However I recently bought some Wilson Staff tiDNA balls (24 for £18 in Sports Direct) and have noticed an increased length of 30-40 yards in average tee shots.
buy a bulk loads of grade a or b balls off ebay. there's no point finding a ball you like yet when every swing you'll put on the ball is different. spend the money most people waste on ball and spend it on lessons.
at this stage the ball ent gonna do nothing for you
I would go in to sports direct and buy the cheapest they have (new balls). I have noticed that the Slazenger Soft are down to £4.99/doz and I can a see nothing wrong with them for a beginner or an intermediate player.Was actually looking at those for that price in sports direct earlier but decided to ask on here first. Will probably give them a try then
