Photo by T. Cowart

What center core of golf ball goes the furthest with modern golf technology?

Hypothesis: I believe that the two piece golf ball made today will go the furthest due to the increased amount of dimples, thinner and more aerodynamic core, and softer outer cover.

MATERIALS

  • Feathery Golf ball
  • Gutta percha golf ball
  • Haskell golf ball
  • Two piece older golf ball
  • Two piece newer golf ball

  • Use Nike Covert 2.0 driver for experimentation
  • Set up launch monitor to track distance and club head spead
  • Tee up the ball each time the height of the club face
  • Hit each model of golf ball a hundred times at a certain club head speed range
  • Do this until club head speed is at a certain range
  • Leave course
