 With the coming of new technology and new materials, they have set rules on the design of golf balls. The manufactures are always looking for ways to make there balls go further. With these principles, an organization needs to make some rules to base the design and manufacturing of these golf balls.

These are the rules of USGA (United States Golf Association)

Technology and Golf Ball Design:

With the rapid advancement of golf ball technology, there must be a limit to how technologically advanced one can make a golf ball. The USGA has set several guidelines regulating the construction and design of golf balls.
To be recognized and approved by the USGA, a golf ball must meet the following standards:

The Golf Ball Weight:
Accodring to the USGA Rules of Golf, the weight of the golf ball shall not exceed 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 gm).
The heavier the ball to a point, the less it can be slowed down by air resistance and therefore the further it tends to fly. Hence the majority of the manufacturers produce golf balls with the maximum allowed weight of 1.620 oz./ 45.93 g.

The Golf Ball Size
According to the USGA Rules of Golf, the diameter of the ball shall not be less than 1.680 inches (42.67 mm).
A smaller golf ball will generally fly further than a larger one given the weight is equal. The reason for this is: having a smaller diameter ball means less air resistance. Moreover, the majority of the manufacturers produce golf balls with the minimal diameter of 1.680 inches / 42.67 mm.

Spherical Symmetry of the Golf Ball:
Golf balls must not be designed, manufactured or intentionally modified to have properties which differ from those of a spherically symmetrical ball.

Golf Ball Initial Velocity:
The initial velocity of the ball must not exceed the limit specified when measured by the USGA.

Golf Ball Overall Distance Standard:
Overall Distance Standard for golf balls is on file with the USGA.
For the most part, all balls sold in the United States meet the standards and earn a place on a document known as the United States Golf Association (USGA) Conforming List, which includes many hundreds of models of golf balls.

Whether you are an armature golfer or a seasoned one there are always tips to help your swing and take some strokes off your score. Improving your golf swing is all about learning and perfecting the basic, and then you build from there.

The biggest problem is that no two people are the same, and ever body is different and reacts to certain motions completely different. So the keys is for ever person o perfect is swing in there own unique way.

The fundamentals of a swing are as follows;

1. Grip is how you hold the club.

2. Posture is how you set yourself up to the ball.

This is a key to a successful golf swing. The width of your stance, the amount of knee flex, the straightening of the back is all aspects of posture. The angle the back maintains throughout the swing and the bending from the hip socket are also related to the posture

3. Pivoting, how you move your body from your head to your toes this excludes your hands and arms.

4. The hand and arm relationship, what the hands and arms do in the golf swing.

5. Alignment, how you pick and set up to your target.

6. On the mental side, is the ability to play using different strategies.

I would think that this is the most important aspect of the golf game. At times we wonder why is it when we get so frustrated with our poor play that you just get up and hit a great shot without thinking about it? Most sports require 90% of your mental capacity and the rest is skills. Tiger Woods is a perfect example of this principle.

The first tip would be keeping your head still and keeping your eyes fixated on the ball. Doing this will keep your club face to the hitting zone. Most often enough when you miss a shot you take your eyes off the ball, by lifting your head a split second before you take your shot.

The next tip is to relax as you approach your shot and stay relaxed through your whole swing. Gripping your club to tight and having a rigid stance will play apart in bad play, you need to relax. When you relax, let the club do the work.

So getting back to basics and relaxing should produce a lower game score and better handicap, so you will enjoy your game more.
