Golf Ball Deep Dive Series

Have you ever wanted to know the difference between a 2-piece and a 3-piece golf ball? Ever wonder why there are so many different options to choose from? Why do manufacturers offer different golf ball dimple patterns?

You’re in luck.

We recently completed a golf ball deep dive series on the Golf Unfiltered TikTok page, where we cover all of these topics (and more). Below you’ll find all six of the videos, along with a brief summary of what’s captured in each.

Have more questions about golf balls that weren’t covered below? Is there a topic you’d like us to cover in the future? Be sure to send us a note via the Contact page.
