To provide a system and a method for evaluating golf ball design.

In one embodiment, a method for evaluating golf ball design includes a step of designing a proposed golf ball having a prescribed size and dimple design; a step of deciding specific gravity of the proposed golf ball; a step of selecting a material for a test golf ball so as to have the same gravity as that of the proposed golf ball when the material is formed into a test golf ball having nearly the same size, shape, and dimple pattern as those of the proposed golf ball, but having structure differing from that of the proposed golf ball; a step of forming a selected material into the size and dimple design of the proposed golf ball to form the test golf ball; and a step of testing the test golf ball to evaluate the golf ball design.
