There are literally hundreds of different golf balls on the market today... soft core, hard core, multiple layers, varying covers, the list goes on. A few months ago we introduced you to
Vision Golf Balls, which we deemed one of the most unique and creative balls on the market. I've recently been introduced to a new golf ball which is pushes the creative envelop even further and could be described as an innovative revolution in golf ball technology. It's called the Omen Golf Ball...
A hollow metal core golf ball???
OnCore Golf, a Buffalo-based company, will soon introduce the Omen, its hollow metal core designed to reduce sidespin. Less sidespin, less hooking and slicing.
"The idea behind it is quite simple," company co-founder and vice president Bret Blakely said. "Put the weight to the outside, toward the perimeter of the ball, and it will reduce sidespin and make the ball much more accurate."
Its target demographic is the amateur player attempting to diminish the difficulty of the game. "Our sense is the golf world in general wants that," Blakely said
It is the second attempt the Blakelys have made with a hollow metal core ball. Six years ago, his father's company, NanoDynamics, came out with a hollow metal core ball, the NDMX, simply as a means of demonstrating "how advanced materials can be used in different industries," Bret said. It spent no money on marketing and the ball was sold only through the website.
There were issues with the ball, including a lack of distance and feel, both of which have been resolved, Blakely said. "The core had been too close to the cover, so we decreased the size of the core and were still able to maintain a far more accurate ball than you will find anywhere else. It really helped improve the sound and feel, too."
The NDMX was approved by the USGA. The Omen has not yet been submitted. "The five metrics that determine ball conforming status [overall distance, symmetry, initial velocity, weight and size], everything still fits," Blakely said, cautiously optimistic that the Omen will pass USGA muster.
Omen golf ball really sounds good.Thanks for sharing about it with its features.It seem to be something extraordinary.Nice share.

ReplyDeleteThe size of the golf ball, according to the rules of golf is as follows. The diameter of the golf ball should be at least 1.680 inches or 42.67 mm. A small ball tends to fly further than a big ball due to less air resistance on a small object in flight or in other words, the smaller ball is not necessary to move the air more like a big ball. In this spirit, most manufacturers produce golf balls to the minimum size.
ReplyDeleteThere are many different golf balls available today. A number of factors in the production and design of golf balls at the same time remember to buy them. However, the final selection of the type of ball you play better, it is a down to personal preference. Drawing a line between the different sets of balls is mainly due to crushing or ball cap. Balata, lithium and Surlyn covers are popular, allowing the balls hit in play for those looking for both distance and higher spin.
ReplyDeleteThe Gilf bulbs lumens value is now more important than power. Two of the bulbs may have the same power but you may be even higher light output a greater amount of light. The first forms of energy efficient light bulb for example spiral CFL trembled when they were lit and it was boring. This was mainly because they were low lumens.
