| Core |
A two-piece golf ball consists of a solid core and a durable cover.
The formulation of the ingredients blended into a solid core is critical to the
initial velocity of the golf ball and its resulting distance. The solid core is
a high0-resiliency rubber compound; with a blend of additives to natural and synthetic
rubber is performance. The blend of natural and synthetic rubber is mixed, controlling
both time and temperature. Even plant humidity needs to be precisely controlled
so that excess moisture will not lower the core’s velocity. During extrusion,
core material is rolled and cut into sheets, extruded into spheres. During the
core molding process, natural and synthetic rubbers are linked together, or cured,
by a chemical reaction. Meanwhile, computers monitor time, temperature and pressure
to ensure consistent compression and velocity. |

The two methods used to mold surlyn pellets into a golf ball cover
are injection molding and compression molding. In injection molding, the core
is held within a mold cavity by pins. Molten surlyn is injected into the cavity
and the blend is melted with heat and pressure and then injected into a cold mold
where it freezes into the cup shape. As the surlyn begin to cool and harden, the
pins retract. After surlyn has sufficiently colled, the molded ball is ejected
from the mold. The second type of molding is called compression molding. During
this stage, the half shells are fused together and the dimples are pressed into
the cover material. While more expensive than injection molding, compression molding
yields more consistent core centering, fewer cosmetic defects and a more uniform
product. |
