Golf Balls - The Facts
SPEED
- For a typical driven shot the force between the ball and the clubface at impact can be as high as 10,000N or put another way the ball is hit with one tenth the power of a 2CV car!
- The acceleration of the clubhead during impact can exceed 4,000gs (compared to less than 10gs for a jet fighter pilot in a high speed manoeuvre).
- A typical driven shot leaves the tee at about 160mph (the top speed of a high performance saloon car).
- A typical driven shot leaves the tee with a backspin of 3,000 rpm (over three times the spin of a car's wheel).
- Hit by a wedge the spin rate of a golf ball can be as high as 10,000 reve / min or 160 revs/ second!
BALLS
- More than 5,000 patents for golf balls have been granted since 1900.
- The impact of a golf ball with a club lasts about half a thousandth of a second. Sound travels about 7 inches in this time so that the ball has left the club long before you hear it.
- In dry, clean conditions, the roughness of the golf club face of an iron (ie. the grooves) makes little difference to the spin imparted to the ball.
- Playing with a wound balata ball on a cold winter's morning (0°C) coudl reduce the carry of the ball by 10 to 15 yards compared to a warm day (23°C).
- The typical number of dimples on a golf ball is 392 and the largest number is 1000 (Dunlop Funball).

Golf balls left the course after the session, slowly coming to an end, where most of today's golfers playing off the ball before departure. Although the balls used in tournaments and big games are collected and sold at a lower level. Amateurs get them to recycle the ball to the fish in water that provide high performance at an affordable price. cheap balls that have flooded the market today are the lack of competition for these recycled balls. those flights will certainly cheaper than with the recycling of the ball, but not the quality of the latter.
Interfere with the game almost as much as the ball club, so it's important to choose a ball that suits you. Here are the six process of choosing the right golf ball, a process I often review in my golf lessons and golf tips. This is a relatively new approach to the selection. But first, let is review the standard historical approach to the selection of a golf ball.
Golf balls are simply placed golf balls retrieved. Recycling has become a word with a growing awareness and concern about environmental issues affecting our planet today. It seems that the trend has made its way into the game of golf as well. Golfers these days the use and custom printed golf balls that are hard to miss.
