Wound balls have not been put into production since the late 1990's. Most balls now adays are two, three or four piece with a surlyn or urethane cover. Examples of these would be:

Two piece w/surlyn cover- $12.00 price point, average run of the mill ball. Topflite's, Slazenger, ETC.

Three Piece w/ Surlyn Cover- $20's Price Point

Pinnacle Golf FX Long, Callaway HX series

Three piece w/Urethane Cover- $40's- Pro V1, TP Black, Tour i, Bridgestone tour B330

Four piece w/Urethane Cover- $40's- ProV1x, TP Red, Tour iX, Bridgestone Tour B330-s
