摘要:
A golf ball may include an inner core layer and an outer cover layer disposed radially outward of the inner core layer. The outer cover layer may be formed of an outer cover layer material having one or more grooves extending radially inward from an outer surface of the outer cover layer. In addition, the golf ball may include a groove material disposed within the one or more grooves. The groove material may have a compressibility that is different from a compressibility of the outer cover layer material. Also, the outer surface of the groove material may be substantially flush with the outer surface of the outer cover layer.

A golf ball comprising a core and a cover disposed about the core; wherein at least one of the core and the cover comprises a tri-blend composition of the non-E/X/Y type (TBC) formed from a blend of an ethylene acid (E/X) ionomer, a non-ionomeric softening copolymer (NISC) and a low viscosity component (LVC). A portion of the TBC comprising the ethylene acid (E/X) ionomer and the NISC has a Melt Flow Index MF1 and a CoR1 and the TBC has a Melt Flow Index MF2 and a CoR2 such that MF2>MF1 and CoR1 and CoR2 differ by less than about 0.1. In one embodiment, the TBC has a composition property relationship ΔCoR/ΔMFI≦˜10, wherein ΔCoR is the amount by which CoR1 and CoR2 differ, and ΔMFI=(MFI2−MFI1). In one embodiment, the TBC comprises a phase-separated blend. The invention is also directed to a method of making the golf ball.

The invention provides a multi-piece solid golf ball having a solid core, an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer, which outer cover layer has numerous dimples on a surface thereof. The ball is characterized by combining an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer that are each formed to specific material hardnesses and thicknesses with dimples which satisfy specific conditions. This multi-piece solid golf ball is able to substantially reduce the distance traveled by the ball when struck at a high head speed, while at the same time holding down the decrease in distance when struck at a low head speed.

摘要:
Golf balls containing a core having at least one layer and cover having at least one layer are provided. A thermoplastic ionomeric composition is used to form at least one layer of the ball. The composition is prepared by providing a masterbatch comprising cycloalkene (polyalkenamer) rubber and neutralizing agent and mixing the masterbatch with ethylene acid copolymer. The acid groups are neutralized to 30 weight percent or greater, preferably 50% or greater, and more preferably 70% or greater. The resulting ball has high resiliency and rebounding properties along with a soft feel.

The present invention is directed towards a multilayer golf ball which comprises a core having a treated surface and a cover layer having a plurality of dimples, wherein the cover layer is disposed concentrically about the core and bonded to the core preferably without an adhesive. The multilayer golf balls may alternatively or additionally be formed such that at least one layer of the core has a treated surface and is bonded, preferably without an adhesive, to an adjacent layer. The golf balls may be prepared by forming a first portion of a golf ball, wherein the first portion has a surface, treating the surface of the first portion to increase the adhesion thereof, and bonding at least a portion of a second portion concentrically about the surface of the portion.
摘要:
A golf ball includes four layers. The first, third, and fourth layers are made from thermoplastic materials and the second is made of a thermoset material. The third layer is the hardest and is at least 10 Shore D harder than the fourth layer. The flexural modulus of the third layer is greater than that of the first layer, and the flexural modulus of the first layer is greater than that of the fourth layer.
摘要:
A method of matching a golfer's skills to a particular brand of golf balls by first testing a golfer's skills using a golf launch monitor, the data derived from this test being entered into an extensive computerized system of research databases. Further test results are taken for putting comparisons between all brands within the system. A final category known as “the feel index” is also tested and entered into the computer database. Based upon the results and golfer preference towards distance, accuracy, putting and feel, the top brand is selected for that person. This brand is then subjected to a series of air cannon tests to determine the performance characteristics of each ball. The balls are then subdivided into groups and performance rated for consistency.
