ALL BRANDS

The history of golf balls spans from early wooden balls to the modern, multi-layer synthetic ball. Key developments include the Feathery (17th century), a leather ball packed with goose feathers, followed by the more affordable and durable Gutty (mid-19th century), made from tree sap. The introduction of the Haskell rubber-core ball in 1898, coupled with the development of dimples around 1905, led to the modern golf ball design that minimizes drag and increases distance. 

Early golf balls
Wooden balls: The earliest balls were likely simple wooden spheres, though definitive evidence is scarce. 

Feathery balls (17th century): Handcrafted leather pouches were stuffed with wet goose or chicken feathers. As the feathers dried and expanded, they created a hard, resilient ball that could be hit up to 200 yards, but was ruined by water. 

The Gutty and Haskell eras
Gutta-percha balls (1848): Also called "guttie" balls, these were made from the dried sap of a tropical tree. They were more affordable and durable than the feathery balls. 

Haskell ball (1898): Inventor Coburn Haskell created the first rubber-core ball by winding rubber threads around a solid rubber center. 

Dimples: Players discovered that scuffed and worn "guttie" balls flew farther. This led to the realization that an uneven surface, like the dimples first 
introduced in 1905, created a layer of turbulence that reduced drag and increased flight distance. 
Modern golf balls

Two-piece balls (1972): Spalding introduced the two-piece ball with a rubber core and plastic casing, a design that became standard for many amateur players due to its durability and distance. 

Layered construction: Today's balls typically have a multi-layer construction with a solid core and a cover made of materials like urethane, which offer a balance of performance for all levels of play. 

We offer different models of used ALL BRANDS golf balls in three different grades – mint-condition golf balls (AAAAA/5A), near-mint condition (AAAA/4A) and value-condition (AAA/3A). Golf ball performance tests show no appreciable difference in game performance between new and mint-quality ALL BRANDS golf balls. Read more.
