Top-Flight D2 Distance Golf Ball:
The longest, straightest golf ball. Just part of Top–Flite‘s best–performing two-piece line.
The Top–Flite D2 features a unique proprietary Dimple In Dimple Aerodynamic pattern in a line of incredibly long, straight and soft golf balls, all at a great value. By reducing drag and improving lift, the D2 Distance, Straight, and Feel help increase control and maximize distance for a wide range of swing speeds.
The Top–Flite D2 Distance Golf Ball features a slightly firmer cover that provides increased ball speed. Thanks to this innovative technology, shots fly off the clubface so you can fire away and leave your buddies‘ shots in the dust. It‘s the longest, straightest golf ball in the line.
Check out the D2 Distance Golf Ball features:
- Seamless Dimple In Dimple Aerodynamics – Designed by Top–Flite engineers to generate Ideal Flight Trajectory, this unique aerodynamic surface maintains spin longer throughout flight, allowing the ball to hold its line and maintain lift longer without ballooning. Most balls lose spin at the apex of flight, decreasing speed. And when they lose lift and knuckleball out of the sky, it sacrifices distance. Dimple In Dimple Aerodynamics helps maintain spin at the apex, delivering maximum distance through superior design rather than hard compression. It‘s the kind of distance that will send your buddies home crying to their mommies.
- Slightly Firmer Cover – Designed to promote increased ball speed off the club face.
- Cross–Hair Putter Alignment – Unique side stamp design allows golfers to align their putts with the hole while squaring the putter face with the ball.
- Low Compression Core – Designed to provide soft feel while delivering increased distance.
About Top-Flight:
Evolution of Golf Balls – Overview
Top-Flite Golf began in 1895 as a part of A.G. Spalding & Bros. and has evolved into a major subsidiary of Callaway Golf, the largest golf company in the world. Since our inception in North America, we have been a technological pioneer in the golfing industry. The evolution of golf balls started more than 100 years ago, when we began manufacturing the world's first rubber core golf ball. Since then, we've architected nearly every major innovation of the modern golf ball. Top-Flite understands the game. And our history proves it.
Evolution of Golf Balls – The Beginning
1895 – Spalding becomes the first American company to make golf balls. The Wizard is the first rubber core-built golf ball with a crack-resistant cover that incorporates a distinctive bramble raised-dot pattern. The same year, Harry Vardon notches the first of his six British Open victories playing the Wizard.
Evolution of Golf Balls – 1900-1950
1903 – The Wizard evolves, becoming the first golf ball to utilize a soft Balata cover.
1909 – Spalding introduces the Domino Dimple, the first modern golf ball with dimples, redefining the aerodynamic principles of lift. It is made available in various sizes and weights so players can match their playing style.
1915 – The Spalding Dot is the first golf ball to use compression ratings as a means of determining ball hardness.
1930 – Spalding introduces the first wound Balata ball with a liquid center, named the Kro-Flite. Its construction changes players' expectations of distance and control.
Evolution of Golf Balls – 1950-1999
1968 – The Spalding Executive is the first two-piece performance ball, the most consistent and durable golf ball to date. Its unique construction allows it to stay "in round" far longer than other softer Balata covered balls.
1971 – After three years of research and development, Spalding introduces the first Top-Flite golf ball. Its Surlyn cover provides a variety of performance-enhancements, including distance, earning the reputation as "the longest balls."
1979 – The new Top-Flite XL is the first ball manufactured with color to be impregnated directly into the golf ball cover. It is offered in white, orange, and yellow.
1986 – The Tour Edition is the first two-piece Zynthane-covered ball to be teed up on the PGA Tour.
1993 – The Top-Flite Magna is the first oversized golf ball, aerodynamically designed to reduce hooks and slices.
1996 – The Strata Tour, Top-Flite's first multi-layer golf ball, is an instant success on the PGA Tour. Its sister ball, the Strata Advance, is introduced later this year as a slightly longer version.
Evolution of Golf Balls – 2000-Present
2001 – The Strata Tour Ultimate is introduced as the first ball with a Tungsten Energy Core. The four-piece ball creates a high transfer of energy from the inner core to the cover, making it longer off the driver, more accurate off the irons, and truer off the putter.
2002 – The Strata Tour Ace redefines four-piece technology. Its new high-coverage dimple pattern produces staggering length, while the shear resistant urethane cover provides exceptional spin and accuracy. In addition, the traditional identification numbers on each ball are replaced with playing card suits.
2003 – Top-Flite introduces its longest and softest two-piece golf ball to date – the Top-Flite Infinity. Its soft Infusion core is the largest ever created, providing soft feel with big distance. The lonomer cover is the thinnest available, providing maximum energy transfer.
Evolution of Golf Balls – Top-Flite Today
2006 – Top-Flite introduces the D2, featuring a unique proprietary Dimple In Dimple™ aerodynamic pattern that maximizes control and distance for a wide range of swing speeds, resulting in one of longest and softest ball in the Top-Flite arsenal.
2008 – Top-Flite unveils two more revolutionary golf balls featuring Dimple In Dimple™ Aerodynamics. The Freak, Top-Flite's longest golf ball ever, and the Gamer, the most advanced golf ball in the line with 3-piece construction.
