Beat this Dimple Pattern

Here's a ball I found on the course yesterday. It's a Maxfli DDH 90 - Tour Limited Surlyn. Pretty sure it was never played on tour but probably was limited. LOL

I did a quick search on the intertubes and didn't find this exact ball but I'm guessing it's fairly old and.... discontinued.

Man Plaid!! I found a Wilson Staff Balata at the range last week. Should have kept it. I remember seeing those in the fish bowl for sale for .25¢

I remember this ball.  Late 80s.

Not sure if this "beats" it or not... that ball is a classic!

 

But, I found this one... pretty sure it is not legal;  it's a Polara ball. The dimples in the center of the ball are almost nonexistent.  Supposed to reduce sidespin.  

Too scared to put it into play on the course...don't want to lose this baby!

Yeah... they are nonconforming and illegal for tournament play. I've seen them for sale at Academy I think. I'd like to hit one just to see how it performs.

Remember the old Condors? They were a smaller ball but would go a mile. Also... illegal.

I use to play that ball back in 80s~early 90s.. I thought it played pretty well.

The Robin Hood too back in the day. I think it was smaller and used largely in Europe

Very late 80's or most likely very early 90's.  Was around about the same time frame as the HT Tour, HT Distance, and HT Balata (I believed played by a young Fred Couples, Hal Sutton, etc.).  Wasn't a bad ball, but the HTs were the Holy Grail for serious golfers not playing Titleist at the time.  The Hts were the precursor the the wound Urethane Revolutions, which in my opinion were the some of the best feeling and performing balls of all time.  The Revolutions were "the Pro V" before Titleist got into urethane, and once they did the rest is history - 2 piece distance with balata spin with surlyn durability.
