GOLF BALL WITH SINGLE THERMOPLASTIC COVER LAYER OF HETEROGENEOUS COMPOSITION

摘要

The invention relates generally to golf balls, and more specifically, to a golf ball having a single cover layer that is comprised of a blend of two or more distinct resinous materials. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a golf ball having a single cover layer of heterogeneous composition. One embodiment of the invention describes a method wherein a core, comprising one or more layers, has pre-molded hemispherical cover cups placed about the core and each cover cup has at least two layers of distinct resinous materials, and the cover cups are heated and compressed such that the resinous materials in the cover cups intermingle with each other to form a single cover layer comprised of a non-distinct blend of the materials.
