METHOD FOR MAKING A GOLF BALL HAVING A CORE CONTAINING FIBER FLOCK

摘要

A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core is provided. The fiber flock preferably has high color vibrancy to provide high quality aesthetics. Preferably, the fiber flock comprises fiber segments having a length less than one inch. The fiber segments may have substantially equal dimensions. In other instances, the fiber segments are of unequal dimensions. The golf ball includes a translucent cover layer surrounding the core. Thus, the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball. Special decorative effects can be achieved using colored fiber flock and reflective particulate such as pearlescent pigment in the layers surrounding the core.

1. A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core, comprising the steps of:
providing a core having an adhesive-coated surface; applying fiber flock onto the adhesive-coated surface of the core so that the fiber flock bonds to the surface; forming an outer cover layer over the core, the cover layer comprising a translucent polymer so the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball.
