gutty

With a gutty ball it was really a fine long, slashing carry, and to play short was sometimes the better part of valour.

This was good work for a lady, especially as I rather fancy she must have been using the gutty ball at that time.

Certainly the score with which the championship was won was phenomenally low for those days of gutty balls.

There were more short drivers than there are now, in the days of the solid "gutty" ball.
