Interesting Balls

[Snowy]

Hello there.

I found these a few weeks ago and thought I might share them since some I need help identifying and others I just thought were incredibly cool.

The first one (the orange one) I need help identifying, it is has no other markings other than what looks like two T's, one white and one orange.

The second two (the yellow ones) I just thought were really cool considering my favourite animal is a (polar) bear, if anyone could advise me where to buy more of those that would be great since these two are by far my favourites out of everything I ever found.

The last one is the most interesting out of everything I found (the white one). It has a car of some kind of on it, with 'Team Saab' written underneath. This ball is a Dunlop DDH Marathon 1 ball, with a random 1 on another side of the ball. I tried looking for this and what I found is that Saab is either golf or car related? Not sure. I found no eBay results for this either but I might have been looking too specifically.

Either way I thought this was really interesting and I hope maybe to hear some other opions on these and what you all think.

I attached pictures of all of these below.

My buddies call these “seizure balls.” I couldn’t play one…

Those look like ping golf balls.

Whereas one of my playing partners love the split color balls. He has problems seeing other balls in the air, so these guys are perfect for him. And lining up putts has helped him improve his game a lot.

So to actually attempt to answer the OP's questions, those are some older Golden Bear balls that Jack Nicklaus' company sold. They still sell Golden Bear branded balls, but not those specific ones. 

The Saab Dunlop appears to be late 80's or early 90's, probably made for a golf tournament or Saab employees. Saab autos stopped being made in 2016.

Can't help with the orange TT ball, sorry.

I have a Blue/Yellow Ping version two tone.   I only break it out, and putt with it in "FULL SEIZURE " cross color mode,  for any 4-man Scrambles I play in.

The DDH balls, I remember playing them when I was a kid, not sure if was before or after college, so probably in the 80s for those.

Holy crap!!! I love the team SAAB ball! I drive that exact car, it's a SAAB 900. I can't give you any information on the ball but the car I could.
