Eventually, you'll be able to match the colors of the corners and centers in each of the other 4 faces.

Find the other 2 “favorite color” corners and move them into place. Now that you’ve established 2 starting corners, (for example, the 2 red corners that are next to 2 yellow corners), look for the 2 other “favorite color” (red, for example) corners on the Gear Ball. They will always be separated from each other only by a side piece, and you’ll be able to rotate them together into place. Move them around until they are the other 2 corners in the same face as your starting 2 corners (for instance, all 4 corners in the face will be red).

Find a group of 4 interior pieces that need to switch locations. For instance, say the blue face is facing you, with the yellow face above and the purple face below it. However, say there’s a yellow interior piece below the blue center and a purple one above it, as well as blue interior pieces at the bottom of the yellow face and the top of the purple face. In this case, you need all 4 of these interior pieces to switch locations. [6] X Research source

For example, with the green face above the purple face, you might find that the bottom interior piece of the green face is purple, and the top interior piece of the purple face is green. This could be the first of your 8 mismatched pairs to fix. In my ongoing pursuit to drop my handicap I’ve been utilising all of the awesome teaching facilities that we have here at Peter Field G... For example, the red side of the gear ring will be in the red face, and the blue side in the blue face.

Rotate the right side of the ball upward or downward 4 times. This is the very simple “R4” algorithm. Rotate the right side 180 degrees (½ turn) each time, upward if you have (“/”) and downward if you have (“\”). The gear ring will be in the proper alignment after you complete the fourth turn. [15] X Research source When we strike the sweet spot of the driver (the middle) the club’s Centre of mass will effectively line up with the centre of the golf ball. This will produce a very direct hit that will produce an incredible amount of energy resulting in a long drive (higher ball speed off the club face). Therefore, this will mean the club will not twist at impact and you should produce a straight ball flight with all else being equal. However, if you strike off centre the force of the ball when hitting the golf head will not run through the Centre mass of the club. This will result in the club head twisting around the Centre of mass, causing the ball to twist in a different direction. The loss of speed off the face will be noticeable too, whether you strike the toe or heel. For several seasons now, we have embarked on a specific golf winter programme to help golfers in the off-peak season. If you like using soft lures, and want a jig head that won't damage your lure bodies, then these jig heads are one of the best options out there.

Find other sets of interiors to switch with R2-U-R2-U. For instance, you may find the same scenario you had with the yellow-blue-purple faces, this time by reorienting the ball so you have the red face above and the orange face below the blue face. Turn the ball up 90 degrees (¼ turn) so the orange face is towards you, then repeat the R2-U-R2-U algorithm to put the interior pieces in the proper vicinity. [9] X Research source As hard as it looks with its intricate and intriguing design, this Gear Ball is sure to be a favourite for everyone who’s a fan of challenging their cerebal cortex. Just please don't be angry with us if you can't solve the puzzle.

Rotate any other misaligned gear rings into position with R4. Look over the ball to see if there are any gear rings still out of alignment. If so: [16] X Research source Locate the 8 sets of interior pieces that need reoriented. At this point, there are only 2 scenarios: either all the interior pieces will already be in their proper faces (this is rare), or exactly 8 pairs of interior pieces will need to be flipped. Look over the ball to find the 8 pairs that need to be reoriented, then choose a pair to start with. [10] X Research source Remember that, whether you’re rotating up and down or side to side, the center section of the ball rotates half the amount of the side section. So, if you rotate the right side of the ball up and all the way around (360 degrees), the center section will rotate up and halfway around (180 degrees).

With the 4 correct interior pairs in the “standing slice” position, turn the right side of the ball up 180 degrees (½ turn). Then, turn the upper side to the left 180 degrees (½ turn). Repeat these turns 2 more times apiece. [12] X Research source This article was co-authored by wikiHow staff writer, Christopher M. Osborne, PhD.

For example, a heel strike will result in the club twisting closed and the ball will spin from left to right, opposed to this a toe strike is when the club will twist open and the ball will spin from right to left. Point an incorrectly-oriented gear ring towards you. For instance, the red half of the gear ring might be in the blue face, and the blue half in the red face. Hold the ball so that this mismatched gear ring is looking you straight in the eye. [13] X Research source
