摘要:
Disclosed herein is a golf ball with a cover or mantle, or both, formed from a composition comprising a polyamide-ionomer graft copolymer and a method of making the same. Polyamide-ionomer graft copolymers include a polyamide component and an ionomeric component. In a preferred form, polyamide-ionomer graft copolymers have a polyamide component backbone and ionomeric components grafted thereto. Golf balls according to the invention may also be formed from a composition or material that includes a blend of a polyamide-ionomer graft copolymer and an ionomer. Such blends are preferably employed as a mantle or a cover of a golf ball. The cover composition has excellent durability and resistance to cracking, even at cold temperatures. Materials comprising polyamide-ionomer graft copolymer are a useful substitute for an ionomer golf ball cover, particularly when a low spin golf ball is desired.

A three-piece thread wound golf ball including a central solid core portion having increased diameter of 1.35-1.50 inch (34.3-38.1 mm) and specific gravity of 1.20-1.25, a thread-wound intermediate portion, having diameter of 1.54-1.60 inches, and an outer dimpled cover portion which construction provides desirable increased moment of inertia and spin characteristics for the ball. The resulting golf ball characteristics are such that when hit with a Driver, other woods or the longer iron club it performs like a distance two-piece golf ball, when hit with mid-iron clubs it performs like a two-piece Hi-spin golf ball and soft covered multi layered balls, and when it is struck with short iron clubs it performs much like a Balata wound golf ball.

The present invention is directed to a golf ball comprising a dual core component, an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer. The dual core comprises an interior spherical center component formed from a thermoset material, a thermoplastic material, or combinations thereof. The dual core also comprises a core layer disposed about the center component, formed from a thermoset material, a thermoplastic material, or combinations thereof. The one or more polyurethane layers are preferably formed via a reaction injection molding (RIM) technique. The inner cover layer is relatively soft and preferably comprises an ionomer or ionomer blend. The outer cover layer is relatively hard and comprises a hard polyurethane. The resulting multi-layered golf ball of the present invention provides for enhanced distance without sacrificing playability or durability when compared to known multi-layer golf balls.

An inflatable sport ball, such as a soccer ball, a volleyball, a basketball, a football or a playground ball, is provided with a self-contained inflation mechanism for inflating or more likely adding pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a pump which is inside the ball and which is operable to pump ambient air into the ball. Energy absorbing foam panels are used at varying locations to maximize rebound performance by minimizing the rebound height differential. The foam panels may be of different types and/or thicknesses.

The present invention is directed to a novel golf ball cover composition comprised of a blend of a new metal cation neutralized high acid ionomer resin and an ionomer resin containing an additional comonomer of the acrylate ester class. When the new ionomer resin blend is utilized to manufacture a golf ball, the golf ball produced thereby exhibits an improved combination of distance, playability, and/or durability properties.

The present invention is directed to a golf ball including a solid, molded core formed from a core composition having a polybutadiene rubber exhibiting a solution viscosity greater than 70 mPa.s, preferably greater than about 80 mPa.s, and more preferably greater than about 100 mPa.s. The core preferably exhibits a coefficient of restitution of at least about 0.780. The present invention is also directed to methods for making compositions having particular coefficient of restitution values formed from polybutadiene rubbers with solution viscosity values related to the coefficient of restitution value of the composition. As the solution viscosity for the polybutadiene rubber has a higher value, the coefficient of restitution of the core also increases. Preferably, a solid, molded core is formed from the present method, and/or a golf ball comprising such a core.

The present invention is directed to an improved multi-layer golf ball comprising a core, an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer. The inner cover layer is comprised of a high acid ionomer or ionomer blend which may or may not include a filler such as zinc-stearate. The outer cover layer is comprised of a soft, very low modulus ionomer or ionomer blend, or a non-ionomeric thermoplastic elastomer such as polyurethane, polyester or polyesteramide. The resulting multi-layered golf ball of the present invention provides for enhanced distance without sacrificing playability or durability when compared to known multi-layer golf balls.

The present invention relates to a bat with improved playing characteristics. Although the present invention will be described generally, the present invention can be employed with softball, baseball and other types of game bats. Specifically, the present invention relates to a bat with a moment of inertia to weight ratio that is higher then conventional bats. This improved ratio is achieved by producing a bat that is lighter than conventional bats without altering the bat's moment of inertia. The higher ratio of the present invention allows for faster swing speeds with no loss in power. These improved playing characteristics can be achieved in either an aluminum or a composite bat.

The present invention is directed to improved polybutadiene compositions suitable for use in molded golf ball core construction. The improved polybutadiene compositions are composed of at least two certain types of polybutadiene, which has the effect of increasing the resiliency of the resulting molded cores and greatly facilitates processing of the compositions and forming the cores. Also disclosed are improved golf ball cores, and balls utilizing such cores, formed from particular ultra high Mooney viscosity polybutadiene.

Disclosed herein is a golf ball with a solid core having a PGA compression of 55 or less and an outer cover layer having a Shore D hardness of at least 60, the ball having a PGA compression of 80 or less. In another embodiment of the invention, the ball has a mechanical impedance with a primary minimum value in a frequency range of 3100 Hz or less after the ball has been maintained at 21.1null C., 1 atm. and about 50% relative humidity for at least 15 hours. A further embodiment of the invention is a golf ball having a core, and a cover with a Shore D hardness of at least 58, the ball having a mechanical impedance with a primary minimum value in the frequency range of 2600 Hz after the ball has been maintained at 21.1null C., 1 atm. and about 50% relative humidity for at least 15 hours. The balls of the invention have good distance while providing a soft sound and feel.
