    <h2>Why Golf Balls Have “Dimples”</h2>
    Ever wonder why your golf ball has all those “dimples” on it?
    The simple answer is for aerodynamics. If your golf ball was perfectly smooth, it would fly when you hit it, but it wouldn't fly very far. It's the dimples that give your golf balls the thrust needed for distance. On most golf balls up to 80 percent of the surface is composed of dimples, and on some the coverage is as high as 100 percent, with configurations in hexagons and pentagons, tiny six- and five-sided figures. There are no flat spots to cause drag, giving these balls the ability to carry further and roll farther once they hit the ground. This makes them ideal for driving on long holes. You can make the needed adjustments when hitting to short holes or when hitting an iron from the fairway onto the green. Good dimple coverage also gives golf balls more wind-resistance, enhancing stability.

    Is there a difference in price?

    Look at the dimple pattern between balls designed for distance and those of balls that are designed for spin. YOu'll be amazed that there is actually a difference.

    Maybe it is designed to make it compatible with the club. I don't know. It's just probably its design to differentiate it from the rest of the ball kingdom. like i don't want to be buying a pingpong ball when I need a golf ball. I think there should be clear-cut distinctions as to make and style in balls this size.

    It's for the sake of distinctiveness I guess. Anyone should know what a golf ball looks like.

    Is there ever a time you want to buy them without? Or can you purchase them without?
