Golf Balls

Golf ball, as it is said, is a ball used in the game of golf. A regulation golf ball weighs no more than 1.620 oz (45.93 grams), with a diameter over 1.680 in (42.67 mm), and is symmetrically spherical in shape. These golf balls, just like golf clubs, are first tested and then approved by Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the United States Golf Association before they can be used in competitions.

When people, either the pro's or the common person, go looking for golf balls, they tend to stick to brands that they know. Some of the brand names of golf balls include Top Flite, Nike, Callaway, and Maxfli to just name a few. Some of these companies have even been known to sponsor golfing tournaments in get their name out there for people to know.

When players get golf balls for their games, they have many different things that they have to choose from. First there is the company who makes the golf ball. Another thing that they pick is the size of the golf ball, which can come in different sizes. Players may even decide to pick a different colors or maybe one with their name on it. These different colors and designs help people find and claim their balls during the games.

Golf balls nowadays have become more advanced then when they were first made from feathers and skins. One of the advances that have been made is the dimples that cover the gold balls. The average golf ball has anywhere from 300 dimples to 500 dimples in it. The dimples are the little holes on the outside of the golf ball. These holes help the ball fly further and help golfers put what they call a back spin on it.
