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!

This post did not contain any content.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.

We bought our kid a D120 a few years back (at their request). https://www.mathartfun.com/thedicelab.com/d120.html

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.

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.I'm sorry, what is hash table in this context?

I would have thought something like that could come out of a mold, and so all of them would be the same.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 sorry, what is hash table in this context?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 So now you have a new arrangement.

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.
