      golfballs come with different amount of “dents” those fuckers are not normed outside of their minimum weight and diameter, and evey kind of ball has to be tested to be allowed for tournament golf.

      those dents might not be spread evenly across the ball to get specific flight behaviour and thus this wont be a fair die in most cases.

      help me, i never swung a golf club in my life why do i know shit about golf ball!

            You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15 yards meters away–if you’re lucky. Or the cat thinks you finally have time for them and playfully pushes the ball die under the couch.

            I think my d30 is good enough.

              How do they make them?

              I would have thought something like that could come out of a mold, and so all of them would be the same.

                    All the same from 1 manufacturer, at least for the same model.

                    But different manufacturers use different patterns, and even the same manufacturer may change their designs.

                    I also do not play golf, I know this from maths and physics videos on YouTube.

                      Their skew and slant dice are wild looking and fun to have. (Sorry for your wallet)

                        But numbers should be spread more uniformly, not in a sequence!

                        Unless you have a hash table. A hash table with a ratchet on non-blind throws is a fun way to mess with player’s bad habits.

                          yes, two balls of the same model will be the same and they are afaik made with molds and many balls will have an aequator where no dimples are placed to ease that process.

                          i just remember being surprised that not more measurements of the balls are specified for tournament use and if a model is tournament legal boils mostly down to a set of standardized tests by golf associations.

                              I’m reasonably sure it’d be a list of numbers that just translate.actual die rolls to a new set.

                              123456 416352

                              Roll a natural 6 on a d6, look at that simple table, you got a 2. Roll a natural 3, get a 6.

                              Ratcheting the table would be moving a row, so ratcheting this table by 1 would make it

                              123456 163524

                                    People pay so much for these fancy balls, and they’re not even symmetrical?!?

                                    That should be like a major marketing point! Consistency in a “sport” is important.

                                        they might be symmetrical, but the dimples themselves are often grouped together in patterns or even vary in size. golfballs are crazy, i don’t like them.
