New Golf Balls

Posts Tagged ‘Reasons’

The game of ball employs the use of a small solid white ball with indentations or dimples on it. The objective of the game is to get the ball into each of nine or eighteen holes as quickly as you can, in other words with the minimum number of hits. The ball is kept on top of a stand called a ‘tee’, and the stand may be wooden or of plastic material. The phrase of teeing off therefore means beginning a game of golf, or one session by hitting the ball with a club.

As everything else, the golf ball too has evolved into something quite different to what it was when the game was first played. The sport was initiated in Holland during the sixteen hundreds, where it was played under the name of ‘colf’. During that time, the game made use of a ball made out of wood, and it was a pleasant past time in the beautiful fields of the country. The main draw back of the balls used during that time was the distance it could be hit. While modern golf balls are known to cover up to three hundred yards, they could rarely cover a hundred.

Over the many years, the golf ball has seen changes in weight, appearance and material as well. The initial wood ball has metamorphosed through many stages to arrive at what we at present call a golf ball. Initially it turned from wooden to a feathery material, and later to a gutty, later into a rubber ball and now it is made of titanium or balata, what we use today.

Today you can get golf balls that are smooth or indented with dimples. The dimpled versions are far more favored among players because they are designed to travel so much further than the former. Still, what a player chooses to use is only a matter of preference as long as the balls are as symmetrical as possible (to remain within golf laws). When a golf ball is in flight in the air it is acted upon by two forces called the lift and the drag. To make things simpler, let’s say the drag is what slows down the speed of the golf ball as it travels in flight, and also lowers its altitude, whilst a lift is what helps it travel higher and further. The dimpled version of the ball gives it more lift.

When people used the wooden variety of the ball, they couldn’t really hit it very far and as a result of this the games tended to last much longer than as we know golf today. Thanks to technical advances in the manufacture of golf balls, today’s players can make better hits with more accuracy as a result of the size and perfected shape of their golf balls. Today the golf ball needs to meet certain standards of dimensions to be allowed in a play. The ball should weigh no more than about 45 ounces while its diameter should be at least 1.68 inches (no one would want a larger ball that would travel less distance when in flight so an upper limit of diameter is not necessary).

Pro level tournaments only use the white variety of balls, although colored ones are quite popular for practice. Finally there is so much to choose in design, it is only a matter of what kind of ball the player prefers to use that counts.
