Well-Tempered Golf Ball?

In this month's TAS they describe the Well-Tempered Amadeus as follows: "tonearm is suspended from fishing line (which I've seen and understand) and damped with a golf ball."

Can someone explain this golf ball? Are we talking a Titleist here or merely something that reminds the author of a golf ball?

Wow, I can make a Tonearm from a fishing rod and balance it on a golf ball and I'll be in Vinyl Heaven !! Who needs mega-buck turntables now? The ad promises "new music" from my old LP's. I can't wait to hear Miles Davis play "So What" all over again for the first time like I have never heard it before. Well Tempered needs a bailout.

When I use a 4 piece Golf Ball, I will have more backspin on the reproduced notes?

Evidently you guys didn't read the web site very carefully:

It is NOT a golf ball...
It is a PRECISION MADE GOLF BALL.

All the difference in the world!

If tracking proves sub par, is that a good thing?
