"The 1920 Rules were the first to specify ball characteristics of 1.62oz and 1.62".  The USGA favoured a slightly bigger ball; there was an experimental 1.7" ball without weight restriction introduced in 1922. However, in 1930 USGA adopted a 1.68", 1.55oz ball for the year 1931 but the universal condemnation of this balloon made them quickly re-think, and from January 1932 settled on the 1.68", 1.62oz specifications."
