Have you ever wondered if your golf ball could go wrong from repeated use? This is what Ian T. was asking when he asked us:
How many golf ball strikes until it performs the same as new? I have played 2.5 rounds (9 holes) with the same ball (proud of it) and is it still performing the same as a whole new ball?
Hey, Ian T., yes, is probably still performing as new.
Much of the thinking behind the golf balls going bad, losing performance, whatever, is likely a remnant of Barata days where the balls would eventually come out of the round after repeated use.
ABOUT Essential rigid modern construction This is not really the case. If your golf ball is not round, the chances are that it comes out of the factory that way.
Repeating the ball (within reason) is unlikely to change performance. When degradation can occur it is with damage to the cover. If you have a trick or a significant scrap to disrupt the ball aerodynamics, then all the bets are out.
In general, this type of damage is noticeable and when you see significant damage to the cover, it is best to throw the ball (or slide it into a friend’s bag when they are not looking).
When good balls go bad
One note in this conversation is that manufacturers strictly test their golf balls for durability using a ball. They literally fire the balls in a high -speed club to see how much effects it takes to hit the ball.
For most manufacturers, the target is somewhere in the north with 100 influences and, in some cases, it exceeds 200. To say it in context: over 2.5 rounds you are probably in about 35 collision between the ball and the driver.
Without disrespect, man, but I suspect you got another 65 plus kick in you before you lose the ball (or chop the cover).
While the iron and wedge game can damage the covers (placing the razor on the ball meat aside), this will be a vision that puts less stress on the ball.
Internal golf is a different story
FMRCADDIE13 – MygolfSSS forumSaying this, players who play a right amount of golf in an imitators may have experienced golf balls by cracking and breaking with greater frequency.
This is usually the result of a golf ball that comes to an unexpected stop (hitting a screen) while in a deformed state. Golf balls deform slightly in influence before returning to their normal, ideal round shape. Additional stress of strokes a solid surface while deformed can cause premature fractures.
But as long as you are not destroying the ball in a relatively strong object just a few meters away, you have to be fine.
So yes, keep that ball in the game as long as you can. Is a sure bet you will damage the cover or loses the ball Before you have to worry about deteriorating its internal performance.
