Commonly used in putter faces, insert technology using a polymer material was first developed for the military for sound absorption on submarines and ships, but was adapted for use in golf putters.
PING: The iN putter insert is a lightweight polymer, which is plated using nano-nickel technology. This creates a lightweight yet strong insert that produces a solid feel. Golfers liken the feel to that of a steel-face putter.
The polymer material was first developed for the military for sound absorption on submarines and ships, but was adapted for use in putters. The insert material is softer than the surrounding metal, so it produces better feel and truer roll.
During the 1970s the interior of the ball improved further, thanks to a material called polybutadiene, a petroleum-based polymer. Though this material produced more bounce it was also too soft.
Golf balls basically have a non-porous cover,says Mike Sullivan, senior director of research and development worldwide for Spalding, maker of Top-Flite golf balls,but like with any plastic or polymer, ...
