下集開始。

因為我做過高爾夫球，也比較清楚球的一些技術和材質的東西，也可以來分享。多數台制品牌或陸制品牌的高爾夫比賽球都會走多層球款的銷售，因為性能、利潤、和技術都是驅動銷售的原因。但不是做多層的球就一定會比較遠、技術就比較超前。我自己也一直在測試一些台灣和大陸的工廠球款，所以我才會敢說這樣。

因為很多小品牌本身的技術、生產能力、材料都跟不上大的球具品牌，就是主打一個多層、價格的優勢來搶佔市場。這個方法也讓Vice， Snell從而站上美國銷售的榜單，也造就台制代工廠的洗牌。小品牌的多層球款很大的問題在，材料、質量上無法和大品牌相比。因為材料是大品牌優勢，要好的材料，甚至一些材料只會供給特定品牌商，因為它們可以吃量！

材料就輸了，同時在製造上的技術也沒有大廠的能力。雖然結構上都是3層、4層球，但明顯在結構的緊密度還落後大廠一段距離。另外表皮的厚度也是生產製造的差異。為什麼T牌的表皮可以做這樣薄？當然T牌有對表皮的厚度有專利，但在厚度上也明顯技術碾壓小品牌的地方。我上面說的東西都和你最後擊球結果有緊密關係。

小品牌雖然也是標榜用軟的TPU材質或urethane，但實際用起來卻不耐打/不耐用。打一兩洞下來就明顯有刮傷，有時就一個短桿或短鐵就會產生明顯表皮刮痕。這是它們還沒有掌握到表皮材質的一個比例配方，導致皮雖然軟卻沒有達到一定的抗刮能力。另外一個地方就是漆的能力，它們在漆的運用上還是沒有大廠的好，一來也是成本考量，二來沒有對漆的配方有進行深入的研究。如何把漆做到耐打、美感和“薄”？這都是小廠的軟肋！

這也是我自己打球都是用T牌或其他大廠的球款，至少不會踩雷。最後，小廠的公差和質量都遠不及大廠的標準，雖然小廠有價格優勢，但我下場是要和別人拼搏、廝殺，面子沒有可以，但裡子可是最後的底線。總不能和業餘球友同組，開球就短別人30～40碼的水準，那還怎麼打！所以當你的動作穩定，剩下來就是工具要到位，這是比拼的家底，不能打折和省的！

I've worked in golf ball development and manufacture before, so I know a bit about the materials and manufacturing processes. Many of the Taiwan- or China-made balls go the multi-layer route for performance, profit, and to showcase their tech. But just because it’s a multi-layer ball doesn’t automatically mean it flies farther or has cutting-edge design. I’ve tested plenty of these balls myself, so I feel pretty confident saying this.

Smaller brands often lack the materials, production capabilities, and know-how of the big names. They tend to focus on offering multi-layer balls at lower prices to win over the market. That strategy helped brands like Vice and Snell climb the sales charts in the U.S. and reshuffled the OEM industry in Asia. But smaller brands still struggle to match the material quality of the big players. Top-tier materials are often only available to the big brands because they can buy in volume.

And if you’re starting with inferior materials, your manufacturing will be behind, too. Even if it’s technically a 3- or 4-piece ball, the internal build quality just isn’t as tight. You can feel the difference in the cover, too. Take T’s balls, for example—their covers are super thin, and that’s partly thanks to their patented technology. You can tell they’re miles ahead in that area.

Some small brands also claim to use soft TPU or urethane covers, but they don’t hold up in real play. After a hole or two, you’ll start seeing scuffs and cuts, even from short irons or wedges. That’s because they haven’t nailed the right blend or formula for durability and spin rate. And then there’s the paint. A lot of them just haven’t figured out how to make the paint both tough and attractive without making it too thick. That’s a real weak spot for them.

That’s why I personally stick to balls from T or other major brands—I don’t want to risk it. At the end of the day, the quality control and consistency just aren’t there with smaller brands. Sure, the lower price is tempting, but when I’m out there competing, I need tools I can count on. I don’t mind losing on style points, but I refuse to compromise on performance. I mean, who wants to be outdriven by 30 or 40 yards right from the tee box?

Once your swing is stable, your equipment becomes your foundation. That’s your edge, and you can’t afford to cut corners there.
