Willis Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 8:21 AM To: 'Charles Thurston'; sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org Subject: RE: Golf Ball Commodity Class About 40 years ago I placed one in our oven. When my mother pre-heated this old gas box, the ball expanded very quick and bounced around the inside of the oven creating damage. Later I cut one open and found the inside to be basically lots of tight wound rubber bands around a hard rubber "super ball". Not sure what they are made of now, but I hear there is a golf course up the street here. I could go ask if I can come in to conduct testing...
