Currently Precept does not manufacture a wound golf ball. Precept specializes in the production of solid construction golf balls due in large part to our belief that greater consistency in product quality and performance can be attained through the solid ball manufacturing process. For example, the Extra Spin is a Surlyn-covered golf ball that provides exceptional spin rates and controllability, and is being used on Tour by Nick Price . In contrast, the Surlyn-covered Extra Distance is a golf ball with extraordinary distance properties. This versatile cover material in correlation with the core composition allows for the many variations that are found throughout the entire line of Precept golf balls.
Balata is the cover material associated with wound golf balls.
While once a natural material, balata has since been replaced by a synthetic. Currently Precept does not offer a balata-covered golf ball for two primary reasons. One is that it is the least durable cover material available, and the second is because Precept believes that solid construction provides a more consistent manufacturing process than wound construction. Many of those players believe that a solid ball cannot provide the same feel that they receive in a wound ball. This unique cover material in combination with Precept's patented Muscle Fiber Core technology allowed us to develop the Tour Premium .
