Patents were filed in 1972 in both Great Britain(1) and the United States(2) for this technology.<br /><br /> These golf balls were three piece balls made with a small polymer or liquid center wrapped with a long elastic rubber thread and a thin resilient cover. Balls #1 and #2 had covers made from a soft material called balata. They show cuts and cracks on the surface. Golf Ball #146, which Acushnet first introduced(3) in March 1973, had a new durable cover made from sodium and zinc Surlyn. Spalding claimed this golf ball infringed their patent(4). The infringement trial lasted from 1-1-89 to 2-13-89 and the court ruled that Spalding had proven their claims of infringement. Acushnet stopped making this DT Titleist in 1977.<br /><br /> Found this from a collector online and his information was taken from the USGAs list of conforming golf balls. <br /><br /> Could be for a US team play or ball made in US.
