Found this strange ball in the creek on hole #12 at my course.

Tried searching for them online but most of the sites are either in japanese or not helpful. Anybody really keen on golf ball rules know if this design is legal? I know the dimple pattern has to be symmetrical which it is, but are there any other rules regarding such designs? I will knock it around a bit sometime this week to see how it performs.

It's a cool pattern. Is it:

  • A bunch of flowers?
  • A bunch of circles with a design going through them?
  • A bunch of footballs?
  • A bunch of thong bikinis?

An interesting test. While I can visualize all the things you mentioned, the flowers stand out to me. Anybody else?

I don't know how it would perform, but the "dimple coverage" is probably closer to what it was like in the 60's & 70's. These days, maximum dimple coverage gets you the air time and distance.

Perform - apparently not enough dimple coverage to get over that creek

Eric, you need to get out more. Go Christmas shopping or something. I know it's cold up there, but cabin fever doesn't usually onset until January-February. :)

Yeah it was only about 100-125 yards away from the tee box. The creek runs up the entire right side of the hole.

Before Erik's post, I saw flowers, immediately after Erik's post I saw panties, several minutes after Erik's post I can see right through the panties.

Clearly @iacas is a bad influence on you ;-)

      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

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
