Conforming Golf Balls

Conforming Golf Balls

Effective

January 1, 2014

The List of Conforming Golf Balls will be updated effective the first Wednesday of each month. The updates will be available for download the Monday prior to each effective date. Please visit www.usga.org or www.randa.org for the latest listing.

*Please note that the list is updated monthly (i.e., golf balls are added to and deleted from the list each month). The effective period of the Conforming Ball List is locatedon the top of each page. To ensure accurate rulings, access and print the Conforming Ball List by the first Wednesday of every month.

HOW TO USE THIS LIST

To find a ball: The balls are listed alphabetically by Pole marking (brand name or manufacturer name), then by Seam marking. Each ball type is listed as a separate entry. For each ball type the following information is given to the extent that it appears on the ball.*

1. Pole marking(s). For the purpose of identification, Pole markings are defined as the major markings, regardless of the actual location with respect to any manufacturing seams.

2. Color of cover. 3. Seam markings. For the purpose of identification, Seam markings, on the equator of the ball, are defined as the minor markings, regardless of the actual location with respect to any manufacturing seams.

*NOTE: Playing numbers are not considered to be part of the markings. A single ball type may have playing numbers of different colors and still be listed as a single ball type.

READING A LISTING

Examples of listings are shown on the following page with explanatory notes. The format is the same for each page. The main Pole marking and the main Seam marking (if any) are set to the left margin, while any second Pole or Seam markings are indented.

In view of the complexity of the markings of some brands, players and officials should take great care, in events in which the List is in operation, to ensure that the ball corresponds exactly to the description of one of the listed brands. If there is any doubt the ball should not be used.

NOTE: For information relating to the conformance or listing status of ‘X-out’, Refurbished and/or ‘Practice’ balls, refer to

Decision 5-1/4 in the Decisions on the Rules of Golf.

Additional information provided by the manufacturer describing the ball construction, spin rating and the number of dimples is also included in the list.

COLOR

The color column lists the cover color of the ball for those ball types with cover colors other than white. If no color is listed then the cover color is white.

CONSTRUCTION

The following abbreviations are used in various combinations to describe the construction of the ball. Two-Piece Three-Piece Wound Liquid Center Solid Center Single Cover Double Cover Other
2P 3P WLC SC 1c 2c O

Examples: ‘2P-SC-1c’ describes a two-piece solid core ball with a single cover. ‘3P-W-LC-1c’ describes a three-piece, wound ball with a liquid center and a single cover.

SPIN RATING

The spin rating describes the spin performance of the ball (H-high; M-medium; or L-low) when struck with a driver and a short iron.

Example: ‘L-M’ describes a ball with a low spin rate when hit with a driver and a medium spin rate when struck with a short iron.
