Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball
« on: March 28, 2007, 02:30:39 PM » |

I'd heard about this ball, but haven't see pics until now. Interesting. http://golf.about.com/od/...eviews/a/equip032807a.htmThe Caesar is aimed at golfers willing to trade distance for accuracy. The golf ball's smooth surface is designed to greatly reduce sidespin, and thus greatly reduce slicing and hooking. In fact, one of the taglines being used for the Caesar golf ball is "No dimples, no hooks, no slices."

My mistake is a dead push. I don't hook and slice much these days. I'm not thinking this idea makes a lot of sense for me.  |

Very interesting, but I think giving up any of the distance that I have would be disastrous for me.

From the article: In testing conducted by Titleist on otherwise identical balls, a dimpleless ball flew only half as far as a "regular" golf ball.
That's a lot of distance to give up. |
