The final ball isrepparttar balata ball. This ball has a rubber band wound core, surrounded by a balata cover. Balata is a rubber-like material, which was once collected from South America, but is now manufactured synthetically. These balls are very flimsy and often will not hold up torepparttar 133297 average players round. However, they do offer extraordinary feel and have great spin. They do lack in distance, though, compared to a two-piece or even multilayer ball. Professionals prefer these balls as they do offer more spin, and stop faster onrepparttar 133298 green. More spin however, emphasizes side-spin, resulting in more slices and hooks. This creates problems for most people so I wouldn’t recommend this torepparttar 133299 average Joe, though 24% of them play it. The balata ball should be used byrepparttar 133300 best ofrepparttar 133301 very best, and I think that it will be gradually replaced byrepparttar 133302 multi-layer ball inrepparttar 133303 near future. Golf balls are an essential part ofrepparttar 133304 golf game today. With today’s modern advances, it’s no wonder why we have so many different types of golf balls. However, we must sort through these golf balls to findrepparttar 133305 golf ball that is right for you. With four-layer golf balls that have liquid cores, it’s amazing to think that 150 years ago golf balls were made with feathers and leather.
