Title: Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball Post by: dystopia on March 28, 2007, 02:30:39 PM I'd heard about this ball, but haven't see pics until now. Interesting.
http://golf.about.com/od/equipmentreviews/a/equip032807a.htm Quote The Caesar is aimed at golfers willing to trade distance for accuracy. The golf ball's smooth surface is designed to greatly reduce sidespin, and thus greatly reduce slicing and hooking. In fact, one of the taglines being used for the Caesar golf ball is "No dimples, no hooks, no slices."

I don't hook and slice much these days. I'm not thinking this idea makes a lot of sense for me.

Title: Re: Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on March 28, 2007, 03:05:59 PM Very interesting, but I think giving up any of the distance that I have would be disastrous for me.

my tennis serve never gets sidespin either or baseballs can't be thrown with a curve... or ping pong balls... :o ::) Title: Re: Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball Post by: Torpedo on March 28, 2007, 03:19:13 PM so that's why i can't get top, right, left, or bottom english on my cue ball, right ? my tennis serve never gets sidespin either or baseballs can't be thrown with a curve... or ping pong balls... :o ::) Yep. ;) Title: Re: Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 28, 2007, 03:22:59 PM so that's why i can't get top, right, left, or bottom english on my cue ball, right ? my tennis serve never gets sidespin either or baseballs can't be thrown with a curve... or ping pong balls... :o ::) Aske's very good with balls.

That's a lot of distance to give up. Title: Re: Caesar - Dimpleless Golf Ball Post by: stroh on March 28, 2007, 08:33:43 PM Yeah. Ain't gonna do me any good. I can make the same *feces*ty hack-job swing at that ball as I can a regular one. Distance isn't my problem. It's pure consistency.

Um, it's not like you couldn't put a spin on the ball. It's that any spin put on the ball wouldn't have as much an effect in terms of how far off line it flies for any given amount of spin. my tennis serve never gets sidespin either or baseballs can't be thrown with a curve... or ping pong balls... :o ::) |
