The present invention is directed to the formation of a golf ball layer by injection molding the layer material into the mold cavity through a ring gate. After the golf ball core is securely positioned within an injection mold, layer material from at least one primary runner is introduced into a secondary runner that extends substantially around the mold cavity. The secondary runner fills with layer material until pressure within the secondary runner causes the layer material to be injected into the mold cavity through the ring gate. Injection of layer material continues until the mold cavity is completely filled. The layer material then cools and the ball is removed from the mold. The runner system providing layer material to the mold cavity may utilize a melt flipper to balance the temperature, flow and material properties of |
