    Can anyone give me an idea of when this ball was released? and it's make up? I manage my driving range and found this gem when I was cleaning up the range. Crazy how the Titleist script on the ball is in RED! Very cool, going to keep on my shelf as an office decoration.

    I played them in the 1970's to early 1980's. As you can see, the cover was more durable than the balata balls but you could still put a "smile" across it and break the inner windings which will expand the cover and create a significant lump causing them to be out-of-round pretty significantly. I used to carry a metal ring that you could spin the ball through to check and see if that was happening because sometimes it would not be very noticeable.

    Fantastic, thanks for that Dale! Crazy story. I see you are in Surprise, my dad lives there as well and our home course there is Arizona Traditions... do you play there often? Next time I'm in town I would love to meet up for a round if you are up for it.
