according to the manufacturer. The electronicmachine tests every top grade ball that comesoff the line by propelling it through a minia-ture indoor range. Initial velocity is measuredand balls that don't meet maximum distance po- ,.tcntial are rejected. The machine tees off everytwo seconds on a simulated 280·yard drive.Following this all balls are checked for size,weight and compression so that all USGA requirements are met. The one-piece cover alsohas undergone extensive "torture" tests to proveits durability. These include repeated battering ~with a 115-pound weight, immersion and pro-jection into a drum at high velocities .
