There are three general types of golf balls:

Distance Balls - made with hard, durable covers and solid cores. These balls are often made of two-pieces with a core designed for spring from your club.

Spin Balls - These balls produce spin when hit in the air. Usually made of three-piece construction, these balls have a central core (often liquid in the highest spinning balls), surrounded by rubber windings and covered by a soft, thin material called balata. Because of their softer feel they don't travel as far as distance balls, but because of their spin they tend to hold the green.

Performance Balls - This type of ball is designed to balance spin, distance and control. These balls are often multilayered, multi-construction balls and tend to be preferred by advanced players.

The Dimple Effect
Dimples on a golf ball allow air to travel over the surface of the ball with less drag. The dimples provide desired aerodynamic effects on the ball and give it lift- the air on the top of the ball travels slightly faster than the air below it!

Golf ball dimples play a key role in determining the distance traveled by the ball and give better stability in the trajectory of the shot.
