I have developed a hobby that grew out of a curiosity about how golf balls are constructed. I make objects like clocks from golf balls that have been cut in half to reveal their interior. (For more information on this see: http://interiorgolf.weebly.com/).
In the course of cutting some golf balls in half I came across one (older Callaway model) that looks like it was manufactured incorrectly, see attachment below.
Notice how the core is off center, or lopsided. I imagine this would affect the flight of the ball if the density of the core and the second outer layer is significantly different.
For those engineers out there, do you have any opinions about the degree to which this would affect the flight of the ball or roll of a putt?
(This seems to be a relatively rare occurrence, most of the multi-layer balls I've come across have well centered cores.)
