2. Balata (latex) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balata_(latex)

   These balls, covered in balatá, were known for their high spin rate, although they did not travel as far as those with modern synthetic covers like Surlyn. Due to the material's tendency to wear down quickly, balatá-covered golf balls have become obsolete and have been replaced by more durable materials such as Surlyn and polyurethane. [8]

3. Manilkara bidentata - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manilkara_bidentata

   Balatá was often used in the production of high-quality golf balls, to use as the outer layer of the ball. Balatá-covered balls have a high spin rate, but do not travel as far as most balls with a Surlyn [6] cover. Due to the nondurable nature of the material the golf club strikes, balatá-covered balls do not last long before needing to be ...

   The latex from M. huberi was used to make golf ball covers, along with that the better known and more widespread M. bidentata ("Balata" or "Massaranduba.") Latex products from a number of Manilkara species being interchangeably called "balata", "Gutta Balata", or more generally "Chicle." It was considered a good quality, but short-lived, cover ...

   The heavy side of the golf ball sinks to the bottom, DeChambeau - a physics major - said, and then “we mark the top with a dot to make sure it’s always rolling over itself.” Bryson ...

7. Gutta-percha - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutta-percha

   Palaquium gutta. Gutta-percha is a tree of the genus Palaquium in the family Sapotaceae, which is primarily used to create a high-quality latex of the same name. The material is rigid, naturally biologically inert, resilient, electrically nonconductive, and thermoplastic, most commonly sourced from Palaquium gutta; it is a polymer of isoprene which forms a rubber-like elastomer.
