1. A method for selecting a golf ball comprising steps of:
- (i) indicating a golfing environment;
(ii) establishing at least one environmental factor corresponding with the golfing environment;
(iii) determining one or more golf ball construction aspects pertinent to the at least one environmental factor;
(iv) identifying (a) a plurality of golf balls, each golf ball of the plurality of golf balls having a configuration of each of the one or more golf ball construction aspects, and (b) a selection criteria related to the one or more golf ball construction aspects; and
(v) selecting the golf ball of the plurality of golf balls having the one or more configurations that meets the selection criteria.

Abstract
Methods for selecting golf balls based on environmental factors are provided. Such methods involve indicating a golfing environment and establishing one or more corresponding environmental factors. Such methods may include ascertaining one or more trajectory components that are dependent upon the environmental factors. One or more aspects of golf ball construction may pertinent to the environmental factors, or to the trajectory components, may then be determined. Upon identifying a plurality of golf balls and a selection criteria related to the golf ball construction aspects, a golf ball may be selected.

16. A method for selecting a golf ball for a golfer comprising steps of:
-
(i) indicating a golfing environment; (ii) establishing at least one environmental factor corresponding with the golfing environment; (iii) ascertaining a trajectory component dependent upon the at least one environmental factor; (iv) determining one or more golf ball construction aspects pertinent to the trajectory component; (v) specifying one or more golf swing parameters having an interaction with the one or more golf ball construction aspects; (vi) obtaining one or more swing parameter values corresponding respectively with each of the one or more golf swing parameters for the golfer; (vii) identifying (a) a plurality of golf balls, each golf ball of the plurality of golf balls having a configuration of the golf ball construction aspect, and (b) a selection criteria related to the one or more golf ball construction aspects; and (viii) selecting the golf ball of the plurality of golf balls having the configuration of the one or more golf ball construction aspects that best meets the selection criteria when combined with the one or more swing parameter values. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
