James,\n\nThe impact would be 5...

depends on how big it is. here is a link that gives you how much damage that would be caused depending on its size, velocity, ect:\n\nhttp://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/

8,369,863 I took the number of golf courses, rounds played per day, and I did some averaging on how many would lose a ball.\n\nThe average golfer score is over 106 and they lose over 4 golf balls, but they also find two or three during the round.  My number is the gross.

It depends if you are hitting alot of topspin on the ball it will most likely go over but if you hit alot of back spin on the ball it will bounce on your side if you hit it flat it depends on how hard you hit the ball

USGA Modified = 6 points\n\nInternational Play = No real number, probably would be 10 if that rare event actually happened, as it has three times in the past.

I think it will not affect your game too much because the most important thing is your technique. For example, even if you give a 'rubbish ball' to Tiger Woods, he can still play under 70 strokes. Anyway the most important thing is your technique and not the ball.

If you take it into your local golf club then they should be able to assess the damage and give you an estimate, they will also arrange everything for you, so you pick it up brand new, but the estimate shouldn't be too much, but it depends on the make... Titlest is more expensive the wilkinson and so on

1) Yes if you neglect the effect of wind resistance\n2) Yup, because some of its momentum is transferred to the ball (Total remains constant)\n3) Yup, since it was in zero momentum before it was hit and now it has a speed\n4) Ya, all happens

Press the ball with a hydraulic press, watch the pressure guage.  Have the ball in a 1/2 sphere pocket and a club face doing the pressing.  Measure the out-of-round deformity.  Calculate the pounds per square inch.  Compare this to high speed photos of the club hitting the ball.  Measure how long the ball is in contact.  Do this by measuring the length of the entire swing and subtracting the contact distance.  The weight of the ball compared to the press pressure is the G force.  Multiply the G force by the time and you get the total force.  The more measurements you make, the closer your answers will be.

Its all aerodynamics. Different angle of incidence of air flow on different curvatures give much more flight and movement to a golf ball. This adds more thrill to the play

focus on getting your right wrist to cross over during impact - it's like baseball - if you're early, you pull the ball...if you're late, you hit it the other way - you gotta find the swing where the ball goes up the middle - most golfers have a lazy finish - think finish with your hands, turn the club over and you won't leave the face open and wipe it - it'll take some practice but you'll learn how to release the club

It's now called a strong 3 wood, and depends on who hit it. I've seen Tiger hit his 15 degree 3 wood, 270 yards from a fairway!! Sure can replace driver, easier to hit.

Golf is a game in search of perfection. However, there are very few sports in which perfection can be attained (i.e. 300 in bowling).\n\nAdditionally, golf courses have a number that is considered normal, or "par." The idea is to get the least amount of strokes under par... the lowest score wins. \n\nThink about this... there are a multitude of variables on a golf course as well as with any player at any given moment. For example, a golf course may be wet the next morning after an evening rain. You might have done really well on the dry course the day before, however, since the weather changed, the conditions are different and scores will be altered. \n\nAlso, strength and fatigue have a lot to do with a golfer's capability to score well. As with any sport, training is necessary. However, strength may be lost at one point in time because of something simple as a bad night's sleep or in Tiger Woods' case, a father who is ailing from cancer. \n\nAnyways, putting a golf ball in a 3 1/2" hole from 150-600 yards away in one shot is very difficult. There are limitations that humans have... if one person can hit the ball 450 yards, he's not going to be very accurate. However, another person may be able to hit the ball only 300 yards but may be able to get around the green like a veteran pro.\n\nHope this explanation helps!

not sure if there is such a thing or statistic called ball striking. it's more of something commentators/journalists speak or write about when a player is either doing it well or poorly.\nas far as statistics go, greens hit in regulation plus driving accuracy are probably the 2 most important related to ball striking in general.\nalso, ball striking could be measured by counting the number of times the club strikes the ball, while in play, on a given hole, with the exception being a whiff or miss - which is still counted as a stroke. all of which add up to be your score in stroke play format.

Every golf ball has numbers on it. How many numbers and which numbers vary from brand to brand, but they all have at least one number.\nThat one number is most likely to be a 1, 2, 3 or 4 (although it can also be anything from a zero to a 9). What do these numbers mean?\n\nNothing, really. These single-digit numbers are simply there for identification purposes. If the members of a foursome are all playing a Titleist NXT ball, for example, one might play a ball with the number "1," another a "2," the third a "3," and the fourth a "4." This will allow the members to keep track of which ball belongs to each player.\n\nThese numbers usually appear just below the branding of the ball's name. All the balls from the same sleeve will have the same ID number.\n\nA golf ball might also have a three-digit number on it, usually something in the 300s or 400s. If you notice such a number on a ball, this number is letting you know how many dimples are on the ball.\n\nAnother number that might appear on golf balls is the ball's compression rating. Until solid core balls drove the wound ball almost completely out of the market - beginning in the late 90s - compression rating was a big deal to golfers. A compression rating of 70 or 80 for a wound ball was regarded as an indicator that ball was a "ladies ball." A compression rating of 110 meant you had to swing very hard to make that ball work right (the he-man ball).\n\nWe know now that compression relates much more to feel than to distance. Solid, soft-core balls are a huge segment of the golf ball market now, and the compressions these day can be way down in the 30s or 40s (ranging up to 100 or so). When these low-compression balls first started appearing on the market, manufacturers felt there was still a stigma attached to low compression - i.e., that a low-compression ball would be viewed as a "ladies ball." And so numbers representing compression were dropped from most golf balls.\n\nYou'll still find them on some brands, however, and they are almost certain - these days - to be two digits.\n\nSo, to recap: A single-digit number is there for identification; a double-digit number most likely represents compression; a triple-digit number most likely represents the number of dimples.

This is a good question with no easy answer. The best answer would be to practice the shot you're speaking about. Try it with different clubs and different swings. \n\nFor example, if you would normally hit a 7-iron, try to hit a knockdown 5-iron. Or try to hit a normal 6-iron, or perhaps try to hit your 7-iron a bit harder than normal.....note your results and then you'll have an advantage next time you come to that hole. \n\nGood luck.
