No, Dunlop actually began producing the Blue Max in 1973. I was working in the corporate Dunlop Tire and Sporting goods product development group in Buffalo at the time. The Blue Max was one of, if not the first, ball with a Surlyn (synthetic rubber) cover.
Before that, all balls were made with Balata covers (natural rubber) which was very hard and cut very easily.
