ORIGINAL: Bundubasher

You get different types of dimpled golf balls - while the weight and diam is controlled, the dimples are not.

The number, size, depth and patterns of dimples on golf balls varies - from 250 dimples to 450 dimples per ball. That is 4 categories of variations just to start with.

Jason Zuback hits a ball at 204 mph (328 kph) then dimples work, not at slow speeds.

Which design golf ball dimple is here under discussion?

Just wondering if a double shot Talisker on dimpled ice will taste better........
Actually, dimples will tend to have more effect at lower speeds than higher speeds.
