Better Than Ever
COVERING AND MOULDING THE BALL
MOULDING AND CURING THE COVERS
The subsequent processes are compar
atively simple to the onlooker. The
cover is first moulded from carefully
selected gutta percha stock, in two
halves. These meet for the first time
when the core is dropped into one half
and the other placed on top something
after the style of a conjurer's 44 trick "
box. But the core does not disappear.
On the contrary, the two halves with
the core enclosed are placed in a mould,
which being a size smaller than the
covers themselves, requires the aid of
hydraulic pressure to perform the weld
ing process. While under the hydraulic
press the second 44 heat cure " is likewise
taking place, and the ball receives its
characteristic marking the resultant
ball becoming a homogeneous whole,
only requiring trimming and painting to
become, at one and the same time, the
faithful companion of the player, the pet
detestation of the 44 dub,'' and an occa
sional object for the playful fancy of
half the joke-smiths of the world.
ALL BALLS ARE HAND-PAINTED
The painting of a golf ball is done lit
erally 44 by hand" no brush whatever
being used. The paint is dabbed on the
palms of the hands and the ball mas
saged round and round in the palms
until the paint is thoroughly incorporated
into the covering. It goes without say
ing that nothing but a harmless vege
table paint can be used for this purpose.
44 Spotting" completes the manufactur
ing end of the proposition, the subse
quent stages being merely the ordinary
commercial ones of sorting, wrapping,
packing and shipping, each, however, re
quiring expert care and forethought in
order that the ball may arrive in the
golfer's hands in perfect condition. The
player who uses a Goodrich Golf Ball
may rest assured he is getting the very
uou ui ita liiuu. Apart irom tne re
peated examinations during manufacture,
constant practical tests are made of the
Balls in actual play under all conditions.
T Here is what Goodrich offers the golfer
for 1913 :
bTAG lnis is a full-size Ball and
floats in water. It gives true flight, good
distance and, in fact, answers ideally for
the all 'round game. Retails at $9.00
per dozen.
Bantam Offered primarily for the
expert. It is of the small size, loaded
type, essential to this class of player.
His every whim has been considered in
evolVing it, and its good points might be
summed up in the following : Extremely
long distance, low, straight carry and a
phenomenal roll ; true carry in head and
adverse winds ; steadiness on the greens
and an excellent putter. Retails at $9.00
per dozen.
Moose A fine ball for the average
player. Combines accuracy and good
distance, the centre being slightly
weighted to aid in this phase. It comes
in the new Clover-leaf depressed mark
ing, is full size, sinks, and sells for $9.00
per dozen.
Final Offered for the first time this
year. It comes under the head of the
popular small size, medium-weighted
centre, depressed marked Ball, Clover
leaf style. Put out especially but not
solely for the golfer who plays just a
little better than the average game. Be
tails at $9.00 per dozen.
Meteor This is the Ball that was so
popular during the 1912 season. It is
full size, floats, and sells at $6.00 per
dozen. It is the only Ball of this type
in the depressed marking offered on the
market. Fine distance, accurate flight
and very durable. Must be played with
to be appreciated.
