| 1103.1 | tour or DT...??? | CSS::GORDON | | Fri Oct 26 1990 14:50 | 12 |
| Depends on which Titleist ball you look at....
The Titleist Tour ball has a liquid center and I can believe they
wouldn't tell what the liquid is.....
However the Titleist DT ball has a solid center which is a
solid rubber ball.......
the liquid center ball could be dangerous to cut open, but the
DT ball shouldn't be too bad or dangerous...

| 1103.2 | also.... | CSS::GORDON | | Fri Oct 26 1990 14:55 | 4 |
| in .1 I forgot to mention that the only "under pressure" should
be the liquid center balls center which is frozen before the windings
are put on. Both balls centers are wound with yards/miles of elastic
and cuts fairly eaisly if you can get through the cover material...

| 1103.3 | Contents of ball with liquid center | PINION::FANTASIA | | Fri Oct 26 1990 16:19 | 6 |
| Thanks for the quick response. I believe the specific ball the
question is about has a liquid center. If anyone has more specific
information about the liquid and what it is, that would be helpful.
Thanks again,
Frank

| What kind of class is this question being asked in?

| 1103.5 | Unravelling elastic poses danger? | TEAOFF::TUFTS | | Mon Oct 29 1990 13:18 | 8 |
| Some of those balls are so tightly wound with miles of elastic, that
removing the cover and releasing all that energy can cause the elastic
to unravel so fast and with so much force they can injure someone. I
didn't realize they still constructed them that way. I know the older
type of Titliest used to cut very easily with a club and kids would
peal the cover off to get at the elastic.

| very quickly GOLF magazine did have an article this year about balls
and their construction - I will try to see if I still have it. Perhaps
someone else has it handy.

| A couple of years ago I was sitting on an airplane watching the
wings being de-iced. Out of interest I asked one of the flight
attendants what it was they were spraying on the wings. She responded
that she didn't know but would see if she could find out. She came
back a few minutes later and pronounced proudly, "It's chemicals."
I don't suppose that "It's chemicals." would win your son any prizes, eh?

| 1103.10 | The answer with many thanks. | PINION::FANTASIA | | Thu Nov 08 1990 13:29 | 13 |
| Hello and thanks to all those that responded. The correct answer was
that mentioned in .9. The answer that was given to be correct was
water and corn starch.
In response to what type of class this was for: It was the Sixth grade
class in Hudson, MA. Apparently cable channel 61 has a contest for
students of various schools on their show called the "Sports Plan".
The first school that calls in with the correct answer wins a prize.
The prize is usually something like a T-Shirt or baseball cap.
Thanks Again
Frank
