Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Golf balls having multi-layered covers are provided. The cover includes an inner cover layer made of an ionomer composition; an intermediate cover layer made of an aromatic polyurethane composition; and outer cover layer made of an aliphatic polyurethane composition, wherein the total thickness of the multi-layered cover is no greater than 0.110 inches. Preferably, the thickness of the inner cover layer is 0.010 to 0.050 inches; the thickness of the intermediate cover layer is 0.010 to 0.040 inches; and thickness of the outer cover layer is 0.004 to 0.020 inches. The invention also includes methods for making such multi-layered covers. The resulting ball has good light-stability, cut/shear-resistance, and impact durability.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for molding a multi-layered golf ball, comprising the steps of: a) dispensing a first liquid mixture comprising a first reactive polyurethane prepolymer and chain-extender, the polyurethane prepolymer being formed from the reaction of an aliphatic diisocyante and polyol, into lower and upper mold cavities and allowing the mixture to react and coat the interior surfaces of each mold cavity, whereby the coating produced from the first liquid mixture forms an ou…
