高爾夫球皮的材質軟硬是否真的有差？~上集！

現在高爾夫球的球皮有高檔的優力辛/Urethane,和目前低階的Surlyn球皮兩種。目前當然是Surlyn低階產品為主流。高階球款配Urethane軟皮是各大品牌有越來越多的產品出現。所以說，對於一般球友來說，是否值得去考慮購買Urethane球款還是Surlyn便宜球就好？這是本文想要來討論。

首先說Urethane和Surlyn的差別？以材質來說，Urethane是和大家在練習場打的單層練習球是一樣的軟硬度類似材質。而單層練習球本身材質是相對軟。所以我們在練習場打單層練習球，是可以得到比較多的倒旋量。手感比較舒服。

因為單層的球，本身的效能沒有雙層和多層的球款好，但耐用的特性是單層練習球的好處。所以單層球多半是練習球為主。

我以前有開發單層球性能可以和雙層或多層球一樣性能，但市場對單層球的印象，很難被市場接受。所以技術來說，單層可以做到高性能，只是市場主流不想改變。

其實大家可以去用手指去摳單層球，多層urethane球和雙層surlyn球的軟硬度，就可以知道表皮材質的軟硬差別。Surlyn的材質硬度就如同一般塑膠材質一樣。所以我們打Surlyn球，很容易桿面會產生球痕。尤其鐵桿和短桿很容易把皮給刮下來。

刮桿面另一個角度就是傷桿面。打久了，桿面很容易會磨滑。這也是我下場打球不喜歡用surlyn球。因為容易傷桿面。因為硬的材質和硬材質碰撞就是比誰硬。輸的人就會被硬的人刮一層皮。這就是硬道理！

那Urethane球會這樣嗎？你可以觀察在練習場打單層練習球，你的桿面可以有球痕嗎？答案很簡單，不會！因為材質雖然軟但材質的韌性高，所以不會被刮皮。而Urethane也是同樣特性。當然短桿就有機會刮皮。

不過，Titleist的Pro V1/V1x球皮在近幾年有改配方，所以更不容易被刮皮。10年前的Pro V系列就容易刮皮。這是技術改善差別。在材質加入一些提升韌性特性的元素，改善皮容易磨損狀況。

The differentiations of golf ball covers!~Part I

Nowadays there are two main different golf ball covers: one is surlyn, the other is urethane. The affordable 2/3 piece tournament is mainly equipped with surlyn cover and luxury 3/4/5 piece tournament is come with urethane for better performance and control.

They all target different golfers for specific purposes. For advanced golfers, they ask more about the control, performance and short game spins. the urethane ball is able to provide these features. On the other hand, surlyn ball is for entrance and high handicappers with cheap, durable and colorful features.

In north America, the driving ranges are using 2 piece ball, but in Asia, and Europe are mainly using one piece range ball. The one piece range ball is one layer structure, the core and cover are all the same material. It is durable, soft and good feel. Urethane cover is similar with one piece range ball features.

Although I developed good performance of 1 piece ball in the past, but the market is not accepted one piece ball can have similar performance as other 2 piece and 3 piece balls. One piece has lots of advantages to use. Maybe one day in the future, major brands will sell one piece tournament balls.

Surlyn cover is hard like plastic, therefore, it's easier to be scratched on the golf club face. With certain of playing times, the club face will be burnished with less spin rate. That's why I do not like to use surlyn balls. It would damage and burnish the club faces (woods and irons).

Urethane is soft on cover with thin layer, it is advanced technology for production. With thin cover and big core design, the ball can perform better, but deliver outstanding spin rate and impact feel. That's why pros and advanced golfers like it. It has more control for the ball and do various ball trajectories.

It's better urethane cover strongness for Titleist Pro V1/V1x without scratching. The previous Pro V1/V1x cover (10 year ago model) is less durable and easier to scratch. Since Titleist R&D has made the improvement on urethane cover. I always study and test the various golf balls to see the differentiations. Golf cover is important for golfers to know more. It certainly makes your play differently!
