While there are seemingly endless options when it comes to choosing a golf ball that’s right for your game, there are a few determining factors that all golf balls possess and see them get airborne in the first place. When picking up new golf balls, we think about distance, spin, and feel, but rarely do we think about why these balls fly the way they do through the air.
In case you are not familiar with the science, dimples are something almost every golfer takes for granted, myself included. You obviously see them on your golf ball, but do you know the precise purpose they serve? I’m a +4 golfer, and I’m a little ashamed to admit I wasn't completely clued up on the science behind dimples and how they affect a golf ball's flight.
