Golf balls used to have protruding nodules, but now they have dimples. Why are these an improvement? I know that the dimples on golf balls allow them to fly further. But before dimples, protruding nodules were used. What is the difference between the two? Why are dimples better than nodules? Billy Vine, Cardiff, UK
