Choosing the Right Golf Balls
A golf ball represents a round object that according to the golf rules is to be hit into each hole on a golf course. Until 7th century the golf balls were made of wood or wool that was covered with leather. After that people began to boil feathers, to press them and then to sew up into a leather cover. Later on in 1850 balls were made of firm gutta-percha (or of combination of gutta-percha with other matters). Finally in 1900 a golf ball gained a rubber cover. At present golf balls are produced from compressed synthetic rubber mass.
According to the rules, the diameter of a golf ball must be no less than 4, 27 cm. The weight of the golf ball should not exceed 46 grams. The surface of a ball has dimples. These dimples have important aerodynamical features that reduce the air drag during the ball flight. The number of dimples on golf ball produced by various manufactures varies from 300 to 500. It is proved that the more dimples a ball has, the higher the ball flies. However, too many dimples on a ball may lead to the decrease of its flight range. While choosing a golf ball you should take into consideration the weather conditions and special features of a golf course surfacing.
The internal structure of a ball may consist of one, two, three or more layers. There are also training balls which structure is simpler and correspondingly they are cheaper than the other types of golf balls. That is why training balls are ideal for trainings. They are light by weight; consequently their flight range is considerably lower than that of standard balls.
