Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a golf ball which comprises a core, a cover and at least one improved intermediate layer disposed between core and the cover. The intermediate layer a composite of at least two dissimilar materials that is radially oriented and transversely isotropic so that the layer provides unique performance properties when the ball is struck with different clubs.
Claims25
A golf ball comprising:
- a core;
- a cover;
- and
- at least one intermediate layer disposed between the cover and core, the intermediate layer comprising a composite of two dissimilar materials, wherein a first effective material property of the intermediate layer in a first direction is different from a second effective material property in a second direction.

A golf ball comprising:
- a core;
- a cover;
- and
- at least one intermediate layer disposed between the cover and core, the intermediate layer comprising a composite of a binding material and an interstitial material that have dissimilar material properties, wherein the effective material properties of the intermediate layer are uniquely different for applied forces normal to the surface of the ball from applied forces tangential to the surface of the ball.

A golf ball comprising:
- a core;
- a cover;
- and
- at least one intermediate layer disposed between the core and the cover, the intermediate layer being formed of a binding material and an interstitial material distributed in the binding material, and wherein the effective elastic modulus of the intermediate layer is higher under forces applied in the radial direction and lower under forces applied in the tangential direction.
