Regardless of the type of ball used, the United States Golf Association (USGA) has regulated conformity among all balls to be played. The USGA ruled that all balls must be round, no larger than 1.68 in diameter, and may not be heavier than 1.62 oz.
The balata ball is also known as a three-piece ball. It contains a hard rubber core, is wound by rubber bands and has a cover made of a synthetic material called balata. Balata is essentially a soft cover that many advanced golfers believe make it easier for them to shape their shots. The drawback to this softer cover is that it is not very resistant to nicks and cuts throughout repeated use.
The two-piece ball contains a larger rubber core, and a thick cover of a synthetic material called surlyn. Although this harder cover may make it more difficult to shape shots, and it may create more bounce, it is more durable than the balata ball. It is also thought that it is more difficult to achieve a desired backspin on the ball with a two-piece ball.
