The game of golf is quite an expensive sport. A good set of golf clubs will cost you well over 200 dollars. Golf association membership fees are practically priced as high as houses. Even golf bags are pricey. If you thought you have seen the end of your golf-related expenditures, wait until you see the market prices of golf balls. You will be surprised how these small frequently-lost balls earned their price tags. Thanks to the world of makeshift items, you can have lower your golf expenses if you choose your own makeshift golf balls over standard golf balls.
Normally, do-it-yourself items mean lower costs than their regular counterparts, but the same cannot be said for the golf ball. A golf ball is made of several layers composed of various materials. Each layer is tightly stacked against another, which can only be done via the golf ball-making machines used by golf ball manufacturers. Unless you have all of those machines, you can never replicate the standard golf ball’s flight, swing reaction and the way it reacts to the various surfaces of a golf course. Those machines cost more than ten golf sets to build and are more expensive if you purchase them assembled.
So, what is the best course of action now that making the ball yourself is certainly out of the question? The answer comes in the form of custom manufacturing shops. You have the option to buy the materials needed to create a golf ball or you could simply purchase a ready-made ball. Whichever the case, the golf ball that you will get is a whole lot cheaper than those being sold in sports shops. You do not need to pay for pricey labor fees and overwhelmingly high branding fees.
Materials Used:
1 spool of rubber thread
titanium sheet (1 foot)
3 urethane bands (6 inches)
internet access
Your only job is to gather the materials before you proceed to a custom manufacturing shop. You can find all three items in a hardware store. In most cases, you will not have any problems finding the rubber thread and the urethane bands since they are abundant. As for the titanium sheet, not all hardware stores carry titanium sheets, and if you really cannot find one, you can just ask the custom manufacturing shop to provide the titanium for you.
When you have collected all the materials, you can check the internet for custom golf ball shops near your area. You have probably seen several branches in the commercial center of your city. To assure the utmost quality workmanship for your golf ball, visit online forums that tackle various custom golf ball makers. Know the lowdown on each golf ball maker as you view the comments of golf enthusiasts on those online forums. From there, you can figure out the best golf ball maker in your area.
Proceed to the custom manufacturing shop and request three or more golf balls from the golf ball maker. Present the items that you bought to him, which equates to lower manufacturing fees. Once he finishes your golf balls, you can finally hone your golf game in a putting range. Wow them all as you sink every single one of your makeshift balls.
