Misconceptions About Pieces: "More Pieces Don't Mean Better Balls"

Golf balls are important. They are the only "equipment" that accompanies golfers throughout 18 holes. The outcome of the game can depend on the performance of the golf ball. To maintain consistency in golf, it is recommended to play with one product (One Ball Play). However, golf beginners (golfer + child) often do not know much about golf balls and hold incorrect beliefs. What are the correct facts about golf balls?

The lifespan of a golf ball. A golf ball is a composite of rubber and chemicals. When stored at room temperature without exposure to specific external stimuli, it can be used for several years. However, over time, its elasticity and compressibility gradually decrease. Golf balls lose performance when exposed to harsh winter cold or hot summer weather. Due to the nature of their materials, golf balls should be stored in places at room temperature where humidity does not affect them.

Some customers purchase lost balls for economic reasons. New balls and lost balls are definitely different. It is impossible to verify the environment in which a lost ball was recovered. If a golf ball has been underwater for a long time or has suffered severe damage, its performance deteriorates. In the case of lost balls, spin decreases by 22.3% and distance by 14.4%.

There is also a misconception about the number of pieces. Some think that the more pieces, the better and more expensive the ball is. The number of pieces indicates how many layers the golf ball has. However, a higher number of pieces does not necessarily mean a superior golf ball. Also, balls with the same number of pieces do not always perform the same. You should check the development purpose of the golf ball and use it accordingly. The performance of a product cannot be predicted solely by the number of pieces.
