For nostalgia's sake, I'd like to find some old Titleist Tour Balatas. I found several listings on eBay, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other sites where you might be able to find them.

Other than eBay, I can't imagine you will be able find a Titleist Balata ball.  They have been out of production for a long time, obviously they would be virtually unplayable.  I have several logo ones on my ball rack and the one hole-in-one I got was with one, so it's in a case.  I've probably still got a few hanging around in a shag bag, if you just want one to put on your rack, send me a PM and I'll send you one.

I have one or two in my junk ball bucket. Somebody hits old ones on the my course at night and leaves them. I am not sure who it is.

I have a sleeve of Titleist Tour 100 balatas, never hit. AND, a Titleist persimmon driver, never hit. Someday, someday, these two will be meeting each other! Just like the "good old days".

I can't imagine 20-year old rubber would perform very well.

Yeah I've heard that the rubber deteriorates pretty quickly. It's a shame.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
