What's inside golf balls? The answer is no longer simple.Most companies these days use all different types of materials in the core and even the cover of their balls. All golf balls are designed with dimple patterns on the cover to optimize the balls aerodynamics. The dimples can control many different aspects of shots like distance, velocity, spin control, straightness and trajectory.There are two types of drag behind a sphere when it is airborne, laminar and turbulent. Laminar flow occurs over a non-dimpled ball and the air separates very early in front of the ball, resulting in less carry. A...

Distance  - The more distance in the ball the farther it will go.Velocity  - The speed a ball can reach in a shot.Trajectory  - The initial angle or curve that the ball takes at the beginning of its airborne travel in a shot.Spin  - The speed and direction at which the ball can be controlled upon landing and even while airborne.Feel  - The feeling you will sense when the club face comes in contact with the ball. Or the way the ball can land on the green. In most cases, softer is better. It all depends on the golfer's preference.Durability ...

In order for a golf ball manufacturing company to sell their golf balls to the public, each ball must pass the golf ball testing requirements provided by the United States Golf Association (USGA). Each ball is measured, weighed and examined in a number of different areas in order to make sure it is up to standard with the USGA golf ball standards. Here is a list of the specifications which must be met before any golf ball becomes available for actual use:Weight - Appendix III of the USGA golf ball testing requirements states that a ball must not weigh more...
