Essay / Golf Science: Literature Review of a Golf Ball desirable quantities offered by the modern ball compared to previous golf. A good golf ball should be "soft to the touch" for the golfer, but should be elastic enough to return to its original shape and hardness after the momentary deformation that necessarily results after being struck repeatedly with a force that can equal 10,000 N. The “Feel is believed to be” is attributed primarily to the flexural and tensile moduli of the ball (the tendency of a material to bend and the stiffness of an elastic material). Golfers want balls with high abrasion resistance, so balls can take a long time to wear out. due to repeated hits with the club and slipping on grass and sand (Morken & Talkowski cited in Egan, 2012). This is because performance will decrease when there are even small cracks on the coating of the ball during constant impact, because the cracks will affect the way the air moves around the ball and the tiny cracks can also provide an opening for moisture to enter the interior of the balloon. ball (Penner cited in Egan, 2012).2.2 Outer coverOuter cover which is a main layer of a three-piece golf ball that provides more dynamics and the ball has a lower launch angle, higher spin rate , more lifted and higher trajectory. These characteristics allow the ball to project greater distance. The outer cover is the exterior of the golf ball whose surface faces the air and water, in other words, can be called the surface facing the environment. The outer cover is where the dimples are found, as shown in Figure 2.2-1 of (Frank, 2014)Figure 2.2-1: Golf Ball with DimpleIn the process of making a golf ball, there are has two types of ...... middle of paper ...... in terms of resilience, abrasion resistance and also high spin speed compared to Balata. Beside that, Balata is no longer used for golf ball material. While for the core of the golf ball, LANXESS Buna® CB21 neodymium polybutadiene rubber (NDBR) is selected from the combination of resin and rubber due to its high resilience. The hexagonal based dimple pattern is considered to be the best pattern compared to the icosahedron based dimple pattern. as can be concluded, the hexagonal based dimple pattern acts more effectively than the icosahedron based dimple pattern. Maybe the hexagonal base dimple pattern gets 30-75 m/s and rotational speeds of 1000-3500 rpm according to (Helge Nerstrud, Sport Aerodynamic). Finally, the hexagon-based dimple pattern minimizes pressure and friction more than the icosahedron-based dimple pattern when comparing the dimple coverage on the ball surface..
