Every so often, something comes along that changes the way we do things. Golf is no different. Caesar Golf Company, hopes they have developed one of these products when they revealed their new Dimple-less golf ball. The ball, which conforms to all USGA regulations, does not slice or hook. The "catch" is that you have to give up some distance (and pay $10 per ball).

From caesargolfcompany.com:

"Each dimple on a traditional golf ball adversely reacts to each blade of grass from the golfer to the hole, Caesar golf balls blast down the fairway or roll straight for the cup with the precision of a billiard ball," explains Vin Lee, CEO, Caesar Golf Company. "We've removed the variables and imperfections hidden by seams and dimple geometry. The golf ball industry has been focused on a Neanderthal mentality of powering the ball as far as possible. We believe the game of golf is about precision, placing each shot where you want them, not just trying to rocket out over the highway."

I personally think this is a really great thing. The story also says the production cost of the balls is about 10 times that of a normal ball. I'd love to know if anyone has tried these? It would also be interesting to know how much distance you really sacrifice for the ability to hit it straight?
