Golf is a ball game using different types of equipment (clubs) to hit the ball into the hole by a stroke. Holes are located on different so-called “golf courses”. There are number of factors determining the drive distance of the ball; the force of stroke, the hit angle, the wind intensity and its direction relative to the applied stroke and the shape of club. However the golf ball itself, the structure, the size, weight and the type of ball surface also are very crucial for drive distance. The lift and drug are the main characteristics of the gulf ball’s aerodynamics. Also it is scientifically proved that the type of ball surface can dramatically affect on flight path of the ball through the backspin.  To get more on this issue visit: Golf Ball Physics
