Correct ball care
Once we are aware of the importance of properly selecting the ball that best suits us depending on our game and the factors prevailing in the field, we must consider that only by keeping our balls in perfect condition we will achieve that they behave as we expect them to do.
Here are some tips on the proper care of the balls
- It is essential that we try to keep it clean at all times. If the ball is clean it will fly further and roll better on the greens. Para we can use the ball cleaners that are next to the tees (it is very important that you get used to clean your ball before playing a putt, keep in mind that it is something allowed by the Rules of Golf and that will allow you to get the ball to roll as you expect). We must be aware that a small grit can change the trajectory of putter and lead to a lost stroke
- Try to keep it warm: this way you will get it to go farther; it is estimated that a cold ball will travel 15 to 20 meters less than a warm one. Para to keep the balls warm, especially on winter days, some players use small hand warmers that they can put in their pocket
Choosing the right ball
CHARACTERISTICS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN A BALL
The factors that influence the behavior of a ball in a certain way in the field are several; and it is convenient to take them all into account
- THE WEIGHT: the maximum weight that a ball can have is established at 45.9 grams. Any ball that exceeds this weight will not be legal, since this overweight entails the possibility of reaching a greater distance
- THE SIZE: The regulation size of a ball is 42.67 mm. If the size is smaller, the ball will fly further by offering less resistance. Larger balls are considered legal and are designed to reduce hook and slice; they sit better on uneven terrain and make it easier to hit
- THE STRUCTURE: there are balls with one, two, three or even more layers.
- One layer: they are generally only used on practice courses.
- Two layers: they are the most used by amateur players thanks to their durability and the distance they can reach. They are a little harder and generate little spin.
- Three-ply: they provide greater spin and are less resistant to impacts or cuts.
- Multi-layer: combine durability, feel and distance.
- MATERIALS: these are mainly Batala, Surlyn, Zylin and Elastomer. We can also classify them depending on their inner nature:
- Liquid core balls: they are formed by a small plastic rubber filled with liquid and surrounded by rubber bands that wrap around it. They are used by professionals and the best amateur players.
- Solid core balls: have a rubber core with an inner layer between the center and the cover, usually made of urethane and are used for low handicaps.
- Two-layer solid core balls: used for medium and high handicappers who want a combination of durability and distance.
- FINISHING: The paint that the ball will have is mixed with the coating during the manufacturing process.
After that, at least two coats of polyurethane (clear) will be applied
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE CHOICE OF A BALL
When selecting the ball to use in each hole, we must be aware that there are a number of factors that influence its behavior.
Knowing these factors and analyzing them at the right time will be of great help.
So, if for example we have to play with wind, one of the elements that can most affect our game, we should know that if it blows in favor it affects the ball less than if it blows against. In addition, a wind blowing low doubles its speed at 30 meters from the ground, so we should play the ball low, as it will be less affected.
In case you are a great hitter, we recommend that you opt for balls of higher compression (100), you should keep in mind that the harder you hit the ball, the more it will be compressed and consequently, it will be distorted. In any case, keep in mind that this subtlety is only perceived by professional or low handicap players; in general, it is best to opt for balls with standard compression (90).
If the environment is cold, you should use balls with a lower degree of compression.
In any case, keep in mind that the issue of compression is important only in three-piece balls, since two-piece balls hardly suffer any deformation when hit.
