Early golfers also discovered that dimpled balls had less drag than smooth ones, Thus increasing their lift and accuracy.

So today you'll find up to 482 indentations on average ball surface, a sleek, aerodynamic shell of polyurethane elastomers combining flexibility with a tremendous resistance to abrasion and that created casing is wrapped around a masters tournament of ingredients like zinc oxide used as a filler and polybutadiene, a polymer that's basically rubber with memory, allowing the material to revert to its original shape in 1/1000 of a second, say after getting whacked by a club.

Then when you go looking for your ball, it may be easier to find, thanks to master batch rat, a polymer used for coloring just one more way.
