Abstract
A golf ball comprising a center comprising a polybutadiene having a molecular weight of greater than 200,000 and a resilience index of at least about 40; and a cover layer comprising a polyurethane composition formed from a prepolymer having no greater than 7.5 percent by weight unreacted isocyanate groups.
Claims54
A golf ball comprising:
- a center comprising a polybutadiene having a molecular weight of greater than about 200,000 and a resilience index of at least about 40;
- and
- a cover layer comprising a polyurethane composition formed from a prepolymer having no greater than 7.5 percent by weight unreacted isocyanate groups.
A golf ball comprising:
- a center comprising a polybutadiene having a molecular weight of greater than about 300,000 and a resilience index of at least about 40;
- an outer core layer surrounding the center, the outer core layer having an outer diameter of at least about 1.51 inches;
- an inner cover layer surrounding the outer core layer;
- and
- an outer cover layer disposed around the inner cover layer, the outer cover layer comprising a polyurethane composition formed from a prepolymer having less than 7.5 percent by weight unreacted isocyanate groups.
