Do you know exactly about golf balls, just as you know about some other golf equipment, such as golf drivers, golf putters and golf irons? Maybe many golfers are not very familiar with some knowledge about golf balls.

 

Do you believe that the first golf balls in the early 1800s were called "featheries" that was rolled tight and packed with wet feather then dried into a hard and. The average drive on "feathery" was about 150-175 yards.

 

But today's golf ball. html.html standards are very different. We have come a long way from those days and experience has tough us that a rough ball flew a bit better than a smooth one bringing us to the current dimpled features of a modern golf ball. Why does a golf ball have dimples?

 

A smooth ball is affected by the drag of atmosphere both on air flow behind the ball as well as separation of the air around it. The dimples on the ball allow for these two types of drag to count act granting the ball a more free flight through the air.

 

According the United States Golf Association (USGA), a ball must fall within these specific requirements to be officially recognized as a golf ball, which generally means that:

 

1. The weight of the ball cannot be greater than 1.620 ounces or 45.93 gm.

 

2. The diameter of the ball cannot be greater than 1.680 inches or 42.67 mm.

 

3. The ball must be round and cannot be designed or intentionally changed to have properties different than a round, symmetrical object.

 

4. The speed, initial velocity, roll and carry of the ball must meet and not exceed USGA test standards.

 

When you select golf balls, you should consider these factors. There are many golf balls in the market. TaylorMade Burner golf ball  is one of the most popular brands of golfers.
