Question:

Brian… I was simply going by the nike high tech logo which indicated it was a Tour Accuracy. maybe it was a mislabeled ball.  But it sports the full circle cross hair logo, almost identical to the half circle cross hair TW version. RJ … – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –  What you cut open was a Nike Tour Control not a Tour Accuracy. The Control was a wound 3 piece ball & is no longer being made.

Response:

  RJ   The Tour Accuracy balls all say Tour Accuracy on them including the TW model. The older Model balls like the Tour Control had the circle logos on them which determined the model.                Brian

The Pro V1 was the one I thought about the most before put in the vice and went at it with a hack saw.  felt like I was ripping a $5 bill in half. cheers RJ … – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – YOU’VE GOT PRO V1’s IN YOUR SHAG BAG!!!  :-) Bryan — Bryan Berguson RSG Roll Call http://u1.netgate.net/~kirby34/rsg/bergusonb.htm Has anyone else cut some golf balls in half?

Rodent… I do not know the age of the Nike Tour Accuracy ball I cut open, but it definitely a 3 piece ball.  Cover, and a center core wrapped in dark gray windings. Perhaps they switched over since I found this ball. RJ … – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – -Wound balls like the Revolution & Nike, go through an implosion, some more violently than others.
