Abstract
A golf ball having a smooth surface is provided with flaps which project out of the surface of the ball during flight, as a result of centrifugal effect, to inhibit spin of the ball. The ball may also contain metal concentric spheres in the core which may reflect radiation from a suitable source, e.g. radio frequency, to enable the ball to be located when not visible.
