Abstract
A golf ball with a core comprising polybutadiene and graphene, and a soft cover is disclosed herein. The golf ball has a dual core with an outer core comprising polybutadiene and graphene. The soft cover is preferably composed of a highly neutralized polymer, a first ionomer, a second ionomer, and a paraloid impact modifier.
Claims16
A golf ball comprising:
- an inner core comprising a polybutadiene material;
- an outer core comprising polybutadiene material and a graphene material in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 weight percent of the outer core, wherein the outer core has a flexural modulus ranging from 80 MPa to 95 MPa;
- and
- a cover layer disposed over the outer core, the cover layer comprising 30 to 40 wt % of a highly neutralized polymer, 10 to 20 wt % of a first ionomer, 10 to 20 wt % of a second ionomer, 15 to 25 wt % of a masterbatch comprising from 20 to 50 wt % of a paraloid impact modifier, and 5 to 15 wt % of a color masterbatch;
- wherein a dual core comprising the inner core and the outer core has a compression value ranging from 40 to 55.
