Abstract
A method for making a multilayer golf ball including a solid center having a center hardness, a plurality of laminates cut into a plurality of shapes formed around the center to create an inner ball, and a cover formed around the inner ball, wherein the plurality of layers can include at least a first layer having a hardness greater than the center hardness and a second layer having a hardness greater than the first layer hardness, and optionally a third layer disposed between the first and the second layers having a hardness greater than the first layer hardness.
Claims19
A golf ball comprising:
- a center;
- a cover;
- and
- a laminate, wherein the laminate comprises:
- a plurality of layers comprising at least a first layer comprising at least one thermoplastic material and at least a second layer comprising at least one thermoset material, wherein the thermoset material comprises polybutadiene.
A golf ball comprising:
- a center;
- a cover;
- and
- a laminate, wherein the laminate comprises:
- a plurality of layers comprising at least a first layer having a first hardness, a second layer having a second hardness, and a third layer disposed between the first and second layers having a third hardness greater than the first hardness, wherein at least one of the first layer, second layer, or third layer comprises at least one thermoset material.
A golf ball comprising:
- a core having a core hardness;
- a cover having a cover hardness;
- and
- a laminate disposed between the core and the cover, wherein the laminate comprises:
- a plurality of layers comprising at least a first layer having a first hardness and comprising a thermoplastic material, a second layer having a second hardness and comprising a thermoset material, and a third layer disposed between the first and second layers having a third hardness greater than the first hardness.
