Polara: flies straight, guaranteed.

1. 01

   One step: point the arrow

   The arrow is the only instruction. Point it down your target line and the ball’s poles sit left and right of it. Every feature you’re about to see depends on that one small step

2. 02

   Straight lift, less curve

   Dimples grab the air and lift a spinning ball. Tilt that spin with an open or closed clubface and the lift leans sideways: that’s your slice. Polara makes the dimples around the equator shallower, to help convert slicing side spin into straight backspin

3. 03

   Then deeper, row by row

   Past the shallow band the dimples deepen, row after row, the closer they get to the poles

4. 04

   And alternating at the poles

   Each pole carries a square lattice: large deep dimples with a small one set in the middle of every four. That keeps the ball rotating on the right axis

5. 05

   Backspin stays backspin

   Shallow at the equator, deeper row by row toward the poles, then alternating small and deep at the poles themselves: together they bring the ball’s spin into line with the arrow and correct slice and hook. A straight shot is pure backspin: the ball rotates vertically and flies straight down the fairway. Point the arrow at the target and that is the line this ball wants to follow

6. 06

   The cover does the steering

   Everything you just saw is cut into this 0.073″ cover: the shallow band, the deepening rows toward each pole, and the alternating lattice at the poles themselves. Soft Surlyn® material for maximum distance

7. 07

   The core does the distance

   1.535″ of soft, resilient polybutadiene for greater distance and better feel. Compression 85, soft enough to compress on a normal swing and spring the ball off the face. Two pieces, and the dimples do the rest

Ultimate Straight

7 yards

A fairway is about 40 yards wide, so you have 20 yards either side of your line. A 27-yard curve finishes in the rough. A 7-yard curve is still on the short grass
