Spalding Kro-Flite Mesh Ball
Maker:
Spalding Golf Balls
Date: 1928
When Spalding introduced the Kro Flite in the 1920s they claimed 'the combination of great distance and maximum durability belongs only to Kro-Flite. No other ball has it'. Furthermore, in 1927, they offered the guarantee, 'We absolutely guarantee replacement of any Kro-Flite Ball which is cut through or becomes unplayable from any cause in 72 holes of play. They said such a golf ball could never be made.' The 1930 version was the first liquid-centre ball and the first with the balata vulcanised.
No cuts, a few strike marks and nearly all of the paint remains on this early small, British-sized example of a brand name Spalding used for more than 50 years.
