Golf Balls

Women golfers may think that all balls are the same. The truth is that with the evolution of the ball, so came advances in the technology. In turn, that created advances in its construction and performance matched with a golfer's skill.

The history of the golf ball goes back to the late 18th century, when the golf balls were made of feathers and packed in a leather pouch. It was made out of wet feathers packed tightly in a leather pouch for desired hardness. It was considered that there would be less drag if a ball was smooth. Thus, pouches were sewn such that the outer covering was inside out and had only few stitches on the outside. It was then dried, dipped in oil and painted white. The ball got ruined if it got wet.

In 1845, the ball started being made out of a resin or gum of the Malaysian Sapodilla tree. So, this rubber ball was molded after heating the gum. Around the same time, with innovations, it was discovered that a smoother ball will go farther if scratched or has marks. It was over time that the dimpled ball was standardized in 1930.

The 350 to 400 dimples on a ball are designed for increasing the lift of the ball. There is a wide variety of balls available for all levels from men, women, experts and novice players who are more likely to lose their golf balls.
