Did you know... A poorly painted golf ball can cause a poor shot.
It might seem purely cosmetic, but the consistency of the paint application contributes to a consistent ball flight. Unevenly applied paint can negatively affect your golf ball’s aerodynamics, resulting in a different shot shape and/or trajectory than what you had expected.
Our testing shows that, even when hit by our laboratory robot, a golf ball with poor paint application can fly inconsistently from one shot to the next. An unevenly applied paint coating creates inconsistent dimple depths. Playing a golf ball with inconsistent dimple depths is like trying to fly a plane with each flap on the airplane’s wings set in a different position—it just won’t want to fly as straight, as far or as fast.
In our golf ball plants, Titleist paint spray operators constantly verify and validate the amount and distribution of paint on Titleist golf balls. This ensures every Titleist golf ball you tee up will perform how you expect, and just like the last one.
