There are many details to learn about how golf balls make. Some components can be found in nature, while others can be engineered. For example, a golf ball's core is composed of rubber, with a liquid center. It may also contain metals or an acrylate core. These materials are very similar but the compression of core material can differ between balls. To better understand how golf balls are made, let's explore the different types of golf balls and their construction.

Modern golf balls have rubber or plastic constructions.

While modern golf balls still have a rubber gut, they are often made from plastic or rubber. The mantle, also known as the cover, can be made of plastic or rubber depending on where it was manufactured. DuPont Company invents a thermoplastic rubber cover for golf clubs. This material is not easily cut or broken when struck and it will keep its shape until it's dropped. This cover is standard for premium-quality golf balls.

Dimple patterns

This invention relates to a method that packs dimples in the outer surface and rim of a golf balls. You can choose from a triangle, a hexagon, or a circle for the dimple pattern. You can also find patterns based upon Platonic Solids like the Octahedron, Dodecahedron, and many others. Each of the dimple patterns has unique aerodynamic properties. These properties are the subject of this invention.


Material to cover

Golf balls aren’t made from molds. The molds are actually a combination of two different processes. The first step involves smoothing the surface of the golf ball and then placing it on a spinning shaft. Next, paint is applied with an automatic spray gun. Once the paint has dried, a clear coating can be applied to the balls to give them a high-sheen look and better scuff-resistance. Once the paint is dried, the balls will be placed into containers and dried on large dryers.

Prices

Prices for golf balls can vary greatly. These balls can cost as little as one dollar per dozen if purchased at a top-notch course. However, if you only play in the summer they can cost as much as $10 each. Although you won't be able to tell the difference between expensive and high-quality balls, you will definitely feel the difference. You should shop around to find the best deal on golf balls.

Testing

The retort, which is one of the most important components of a test apparatus for golf balls, is essential. To test the bounce of the golf ball, you can use retorts to drop it from a height 40cm. A standard golf ball tester has three drop zones, each with its own threshold for ball removal. Ryan drops three balls starting at 40 centimeters. The balls are bounced in each zone ten times. The best answer is determined by the average bounce.
