Lists all currently known Spalding models. Contains 132 pictures of 164 known and listed Top-flite models, and 13 pictures of 28 known and listed Strata models. Includes pictures of seam markings, dates of 1st manufacture when known and performance descriptions. Includes a brief history of the golf ball from wooden balls to Gutta Percha. Includes detailed technical terms and glossary for material science and ball construction as well as performance and testing parameters. Companion book to "How to Succeed at Golf" M. Hatcher. Version 1.1 corrects sequencing and picture labeling alignment addressed by the last reviewer, adds additional golf balls and more detail. Note to Collectors: This book is not intended for collectors who auction golf balls, affiliate advertisers or collectors who require a complete photographic record of the oldest Spalding golf balls no longer available to the public record or public collections.
