A new design appeared at the end of the 19th century, created by Coburn Haskell. This design consisted of three parts, an outer Gutta Percha shell, a solid rubber core and a threaded rubber layer covering the core. Mass production was not possible for this golf ball design when it first came out, because the threaded rubber layer had to be constructed by hand. It was not until one W. Millson created a thread winding machine that the ball could then be mass produced. We are constantly impressed with their golf balls and of course their golf ball fitting system has become an industry break through that is available to every man, woman.
Dimples became part of the golf ball design, when in 1906 William Tyler included them in the Haskell golf ball design. This improved the golf balls lift and reduced its drag.
Some might consider the sight of exploding golf balls to be that of clowns in a circus or a prank on a comedy, but in 1906 someone actually made this reality on the golf course, when they introduced a Bridgestone Golf Balls with a compressed air core. These balls had a tendency to explode when they heated up, due to the air expanding with the heat, and ripping the ball to pieces.
