What's a golf ball made of?

Question

And, how did they find out that the dimples made the golf ball fly so far?

Answer 1

There are two types of balls. One has a liquid core around which a stretchy long rubber band is wound. This is then encased in a cover. This is the wound ball used by most of the better players. The second is a solid core which can be compressed which is then encased in a cover. The first is called a 3 piece ball and the latter is the 2 piece ball. Most of today's golfers use the two piece ball.

Answer 2

It's this latex stuff...not the condom type...it had lots of differen't stuff in it but it's classed as latex :)

Answer 3

plastic pvc plastic with thousands of little rubber bands wrapped around a little ball with water in it thats the core . throw one in the fire and stand back. its pretty cool

Answer 4

The dimples are there so the ball can grab onto the air as it flies. If it didn't have the dimples, you would barely be able to hit it.
