Modern Gutta Percha Balls
Product Description
f you have a thirst for the "original feel" of the game why not play the "original" ball? Before the Pro-V and the Balata ball there was Gutta Percha.
Made from the sap of a tree, Gutta Percha was a resilient material with soft feel and touch. Obviously, being 100% organic meant the balls had to be treated gingerly. It takes about 6 months to "fully cure" before these balls can even be played giving further credence to the saying "good things come to those who wait!"
It was said, on hot days these balls had to be stored in an ice chest as they could melt! Without a doubt, a beautiful item to add to your collection or take out on the links. Each ball is handformed using vintage molds and the finest Gutta Percha available. *Currently only available in "dark grey" natural color but can be painted as was the custom.
Requires 2-3 weeks for delivery and a 5-6 month "cure time" depending on when the ball was molded.
