    Yep and the professional and the tour balata, I could go on but will really be showing my age.
  3. No, can't recall that one... Have you got any??
    Gorilla & Commando (balls seemingly made from concrete), Old UK standard size Penfold Ace & Dunlop 65 (wrapped in cellophane) seem to stick in the memory...
    Friend of mine found some very old balls in his father's loft, still in box with wrappings, and sold them for silly money to a US collector. Seems there is a market for the rare in Golfiana circles.

    Pre Pro V1 era!
    From what I recall the Prestige wasn't as popular as the Professional, those were the days of the wound golf balls with two different compressions and a balata cover that used to shred when you hit them with your wedges.

    I used to love the flight characteristics of the Professional, took me a while to get used to the Pro V1s
