This
type of golf ball has been on the scene for about
10 years now. It features a large, solid rubber core
surrounded by a thin layer of a plastic like substance
(the composition varies per manufacturer). This 2
piece assembly is then surrounded by a plastic or
urethane cover.
This
majority of low handicap golfers and professionals play this type of ball these days. Although this
type of construction spins more when struck, engineers
can adjust the core and thin layer to end up with
a sort of "hybrid" ball that is long but playable for the accomplished player.
3
Piece "Wound" Golf Balls

Does
this look familiar? This used to be the standard
in performance golf ball construction. These balls
featured a small solid or liquid filled center, surrounded
by yards and yards of tightly wrapped thread. This
wound center was then encased in a cover of plastic,
synthetic rubber, or urethane.
Once
the rage of the industry, this "wound" type of construction has dissapeared from the golf ball market. This type of
ball is more expensive to manufacture than the other
2 types. In addition, engineers have been able to
duplicate and even surpass the performance of these
balls with new materials combined with the 3 Piece
(layered) design.
Now
yet's look at your game and determine the right type
of ball for you!
