Golf ball that won’t slice released
May 11th, 2011 - 10:33 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, May 11 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The dream golf ball of every golfer has been released. The new golf ball on 75 percent of the time goes exactly where it is expected to go- straight. A golf ball that will not slice does not seem to appeal to some of the major competitions.
The golf ball has been named Polara by its makers. According to the New York Times, the Polara contradicts the official rules of some of the major competitions in the world. United States Golf Association has not accepted the new golf ball as well.
The golf ball was made by Dave Felker who is a former golf engineer at Callaway. He gave his reason why he came up with the golf ball. He said that, “It’s for the other golfers, the ones who rarely hit it straight. It’s for people who want to be embarrassed less, play faster and enjoy it more.” He argues that other people who are not so skilled to hit the ball straight should also have an option.
Some golf analysts believe that the new golf balls have the potential to bring the younger generation to the game because it will make the sport easy to play. Slice affects about 80 percent of golfers.
