Lets look at the history of the golf ball.

When golf became a game back in the 16th century, golf clubs and golf balls were both made out of wood.

In 1618 they evolved and were made out of goose feathers. What they did was make a hollow sphere out of horse or cow hides and fill it with feathers. Then they soaked it in water, rounded it and let it dry. Once it dried you had your golf ball.

In 1848 a rubber ball was introduced by Rev Adam Paterson. The big advantage of the rubber ball was that it was east to mold and easy to repair when damanged.

In 1898 a golf ball with a solid rubber core covered by a layer of rubber thread was introduced by Coburn Haskell.

In 1905 the dimple that you see on golf balls today was introduced by Willam Taylor.

So now that we have some history lets examine some types of golf balls. There are two popular types of balls. They are balata and surlyn covered golf balls.

Balata-covered golf ball: A balata-covered ball is a ball that has a liquid-filled core, wrapped by rubber and covered with balata. Balata is a soft substance that allows players to have more control with their shots. The drawback is they cut and nick more.

Surlyn-covered golf ball: A surlyn-covered ball is a two-piece ball with a solid core and a surlyn cover. Surlyn is designed to eliminate cuts and nicks. It has a harder surface so the drawback is that it is harder to control.

There are many diffrent brands of golf balls out there, so pick wisely and go with the one that benifits your style of play.
