Abstract
A device including a center core, an outer layer that is configured to encase the center core, an artificial grass implement that is into engagement with the outer layer and that is configured to simulate a grass turf, and wherein the device is configured to be operable for practicing golf putting strategies or techniques.
Claims22
A golf ball comprising:
- a spherical center core;
- an outer layer, wherein said outer layer adhered to and is configured to completely encase said center core, the outer layer comprising an outer surface;
- a plurality of simulated grass blades engaged with and extending from said outer layer, said plurality of simulated grass blades completely covering the entire outer surface of the outer layer, wherein said plurality of simulated grass blades are configured to simulate a grass turf, wherein each of the plurality of simulated grass blades has a height dimension of between 3 mm and 6 mm, a width dimension of between 0.2 to 0.6 mm in width, and a thickness dimension of between 0.05 mm and 0.2 mm, and further wherein the thickness dimension is less than the width dimension;
- wherein the golf ball has a total diameter of 42.67 mm, including the core, the outer layer and the height dimension of the plurality of grass blades, and wherein the golf ball has a total mass of 45.93 g, and
- wherein said device is configured to be operable for practicing golf putting strategies or techniques.
