When a new inquiry lands in my inbox, nine out of ten buyers ask the same thing: “What’s your custom MOQ?” It’s a fair question, especially for a test run when you don’t want pallets of inventory sitting in a warehouse. I run a China-based golf ball factory, so I
A 3-piece golf ball blends distance, mid launch, and soft feel for most mid-handicaps with swing speeds under 100 mph. A 4-piece adds a mantle to create stronger spin separation—lower driver spin and higher short-iron spin—suited to fast swingers and firm greens. Urethane drives tour-level greenside spin; ionomer favors durability,

Some budget and OEM lines—and select batches from well-known brands—are among the golf balls manufactured in China. Chinese plants build 2-piece ionomer (e.g., Surlyn®) through multi-layer urethane balls. Quality is line-specific. Always confirm the box origin for your batch and verify model-level USGA/R&A compliance before you scale. Are well-known brands

Yes — you can buy golf balls directly from a Chinese manufacturer even for 1,000–2,000 pcs. The key is verifying a real factory in known clusters, matching your order size to a mid-scale producer, and setting realistic expectations on price, printing, packaging, and lead time. This Q&A turns those points
Step by step, golf balls are made in 10–12 stages: materials prep; core mixing; core vulcanization; core finishing; (optional) mantles; cover forming (ionomer injection or cast urethane); urethane post-cure; seam finishing; coating; pad/UV printing; final inspection; packaging. Key CTQs: compression, concentricity, dimple fidelity, paint uniformity, symmetry. Golf balls look simple—just
Golf ball specs translate into on-course outcomes. Diameter ≥ 42.67 mm and weight ≤ 45.93 g govern legality; compression and core design set ball speed and feel; layers and cover material tune driver versus wedge spin; dimple geometry sets lift/drag and wind stability; roundness and symmetry preserve straight flight.
