# Bullet-Inspired Golf Balls The Caliber Golf Ball Design Travels a Straighter Trajectory By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-06-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ball-design References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/caliber-golf-ball/) & [proshop.oncoregolf](http://proshop.oncoregolf.com/collections/golf-balls) There's not much that can be done to the outside shape and form of golf balls, so the Caliber golf ball design takes a revolutionary approach to changing the interior. Instead of featuring a rubber core like other golf balls have had for decades, the Caliber golf ball features a patented hollow metal core. This helps the ball to have significant rifle spin and helping to reduce side spin. Ultimately, these aspects coincide to enable the ball to travel a straight trajectory that has been compared to a bullet being shot out of a gun.
