Well-Tempered Golf Ball?


In this month's TAS they describe the Well-Tempered Amadeus as follows: "tonearm is suspended from fishing line (which I've seen and understand) and damped with a golf ball."

Can someone explain this golf ball? Are we talking a Titleist here or merely something that reminds the author of a golf ball?

The golf ball has an important role in the golf game. It is specially designed for golf games. A golf ball needs to take into account some technical features, including dimples on its outer surface, that does not weigh more than 1.620 oz and have a diameter of not less than 1.680 inches. These features help to create swing and a good flight. Most golf balls have about 250–450 dimples, although a regular golf ball has 336 dimples. Golf balls are made by combining 1 to 5 pieces to form separate layers. Check here
