          Balata is a hard, natural rubber-like material obtained from the latex produced by the tropical American tree species Manilkara bidentata. It has been used in various products such as golf balls, belts, hoses, and machine parts due to its resistance and flexibility. It was also used in early 20th-century as a cheaper alternative to gutta-percha in the manufacture of golf balls.
