Diffence between a smooth golf ball and one with dipples?
A golf ball has dimples which makes it aerodynamic, so it can fly and fly straight. There are no golf balls which have no dimples that are produced for full shots.
Where can you get a smooth golf ball?
You cannot buy a smooth golf ball, it would not have a consistent flight. If you have plenty of time on your hands you could sand the dimples off a golf ball and see how unpredictable it is. Answer: That was the original golf ball, I don't think if it's still existing. Golf balls have dimples because it has a purpose and not jus a design. If you would know why, then I bet you will like the new one.
What are the indentations on a golf ball called?
Dimples.
If a baseball had dimples?
It would be a golf ball. No, a baseball does not have dimples
Why do golf balls have craters on them?
They are known as dimples, they make the ball aerodynamic so it can fly. While the make the ball aerodynamic they also give it a stylish design.
Why put dimples on golf balls?
Dimples make the ball aerodynamic and allows it to fly with stability. Without dimples the flight of the ball would be very unpredictable.
What has on average 236 dimples?
A golf ball may have 236 dimples.
Why do golf balls have dints in them?
These are called dimples, they make the ball aerodynamic, without these dimples a ball could not fly.
How many circles are on a regular sized golf ball?
They are called dimples, and there is about 300- 400 dimples on a golf ball.
Why only even number of dimples on a golf ball?

How many dipples on a golf ball?
there are 336 dimples on a golf ball.
What is another name for the dimples on a golf ball?
The indentations on golf balls are called dimples. These dimples act as turbulators, which increase the speed, and therefore the distance, which the ball travels, by reducing drag. People began to notice this when they began to realise that poorer people, who had nicks and bumps in their golf balls simply because they couldn't afford new ones, were better at golf than the rich people with brand new smooth balls, prompting aerodynamicists to try and find out why. Now all golf balls have these indentations, or 'dimples'.
