Do you know that golf balls have dimples on them as dimpled golf balls fly twice the distance as smooth ones.

Its all to do with aerodynamics and drag discovered by Barns Wallace when he invented the bouncing bomb.

 

With this in mind why has no one bought out dimpled distance leads?

I wonder if I am the first to think about this and if I have just lost a small fortune?

well if you want distance then just use the tornie casting leads lolz. or just go at a lead with a nail and hammer you could always creat your own dimpled lead rudd, go buy one of the moulds and then edit it if you like, adding little dimples, but everything has to be absoltuly dead accuratly spaced and presented, if it isnt then it will be a total lump of flying crap, lolz. and it will not work properly if it is not measured very accuratly,

 

Plus its a pain in the but to reproduce :P

Although the golf ball manufacturers do it so...

 

Maybe ring one of them up, and ask to use or see one of their ball moulds? :)

There are millions of moulds available in every golf shop in every city!

 

just cast a golf ball they've done all the work for you!

 

i think the reason the golf balls are dimpled is that the drag produced behind a sperical object is less. if you have a teardrop lead then the areodynamics are probably superior to a perfect shere.

but golfballs are designed to tumble (arnt they?)not best when attached to line

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
