How long has the multicompression ball been around? Awhile I would assume. I maybe wrong though. Where as I don't believe Jack's era had that luxury? |
Im not too sure on the multicompression thing either. I know they have been around for at least 20years.
The ball technology did progress quite a lot from the 70's to 90's but not as much with the high spin balls.
Up untill the mids 90's or so they were still using 3 piece wound balata cover balls on tour. From what i understand that basic setup had been used for a long ass time. About roughly that time the first titleist high spin ball with a synthetic cover came out, the titleist professional.
Probably wasnt till the Pro VI that a dramatic improvement in ball technology was made. For ones they use at the tour level at least.
Edit: forgot about the Top Flite Strata. That was probably the first modern one and came out in 96/97ish.
