Golf Ball Science

    For this blog I am going to talk about the science of the golf ball. The golf ball is important to golf in many ways to golfers because if you don't have the golf ball you can't play the game. There also is a lot of science to the golf ball from the way it spins to when I reaches its terminal velocity.

    One thing in a golf ball Is the layers of the golf ball some have 5 layers and some have 1 layer all of they depends on the makers of the ball. For example TaylorMade makes golf balls with 5 layers each for different types of clubs but Callaway makes golf ball with 1 layer just for a nice feel. So every golf ball is made differently.

     You can also control which golf ball you would like to play with. The softer the golf ball the more control you get. But with a firm golf ball you get more distance but less control. All of this depends on the way you hit the golf ball.

    The most important thing on the golf ball is the dimples. The dimples are these little round things that make the ball fly straight. They give the ball a distinctive look and help the ball travel further. The dimples drag the golf ball which help it create backspin and let the ball get up in the air.

    There is a lot of science to the golf ball it is very complicated and the makers do these things are genius. I give a lot of credit to the people who make the golf ball because without these people I wouldn't be able to play the game I like to play everyday.
