I want to know if there is a way to tell what a golf ball is made of without cracking it or puncturing the shell in any way.

all golf balls are made out of highly condensed rubber like material on the inside
its very very compressed, so that’s why they have so much power

you might be able to look up the brand (calloway, taylormade) and see what specifically they use in their own golf balls
but other than that, all golf balls are made up of highly compressed rubber, some less compressed then others
a professional golfers ball has less condensed rubber than the average weekend player
if you want to know firsthand whether or not a golf balls made of rubber, the only thing you can do is crack one open i believe. you could probably get a golf range ball that looks worn and crack it open

Wound balls have not been put into production since the late 1990’s. Most balls now adays are two, three or four piece with a surlyn or urethane cover. Examples of these would be:
Two piece w/surlyn cover- $12.00 price point, average run of the mill ball. Topflite’s, Slazenger, ETC.
Three Piece w/ Surlyn Cover- $20’s Price Point
Pinnacle Golf FX Long, Callaway HX series
Three piece w/Urethane Cover- $40’s- Pro V1, TP Black, Tour i, Bridgestone tour B330
Four piece w/Urethane Cover- $40’s- ProV1x, TP Red, Tour iX, Bridgestone Tour B330-s
Hope this helps.

The balls made with ” rubber band stuff ” are usually designated with the word ” wound ” somewhere on the cover. Very few brands offer wound balls, but they are still available.

Most golf balls are made of a rubbery like material, but unfortunatly, I dont think there is a way to tell.
