Other than being some sort of golf ball... Can you tell me what it is specifically. I do know what it is. Have fun!

Inverted dimples = more wind drag and less distance so I'd assume it's some type of practice ball.

EDIT: It's a Cayman golf ball originally designed for The Britannia golf course (Jack Nicklaus course) at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

The ball was designed to travel only half the distance of a 'regular' ball with the Executive Course in mind (to give golfers the feel of playing a 'regulation' length course on an 'executive' length course.

So my first guess wasn't too shabby. :dance:

All the guesses were pretty good.  When I did a search, an image of the Cayman ball matches almost exactly the photo, right down to the brand and number.  Never heard of a "bramble" but that was a nice try.

I knew the internet savvy folk would find it but was hoping for a more personal answer... My CC in the mid 80's used these for men vs women tournaments. I found one while out perusing for golf balls as a kid. Somehow still have it.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
