Golf Ball Technology
Links to articles on golf ball design and technology, and how it effects your game!
Wound golf ball structure is a direct descendant of the Hasket ball, invented in 1898. Solid golf ball structure on the other hand, has evolved from the one-piece golf ball that was first invented in 1966. Until recently, the general opinion among golfers has been that solid balls produced a hard feel upon impact, and that they offered poor spin control and over all performance. However, with the development of golf balls made of urethane resins, the ratio of professionals using solid balls at the 2000 US Open reached a striking 30 percent.
As such examples indicate, golf balls have evolved and are being improved in ways that increasingly meet golfers' needs. Learn more about the Evolution of Golf Ball Contruction.
- Evolution of Golf Ball Contruction

- USGA Golf Ball Rules and Standards of Design
- Standard USGA Rules of Golf Ball Construction and Design - The USGA has set golf ball rules, as well as several guidelines regulating the construction and design of golf balls. To be recognized and approved by the USGA, a golf ball must meet these golf ball rules and standards of design.

- Learn about the Different Types of Golf Balls Throughout Golf History and in Use Today - Golf ball structures break down broadly into two basic types of golf balls.
