Claim Text:
1. A process for manufacturing a golf ball, comprising: providing first and second substantially hemispherical half shells comprising a thermoplastic composition, each half shell further having an outer surface and an inner surface which forms an hemispherical cavity, dispensing an uncured liquid thermoset composition into the hemispherical cavity of the first half shell; providing a core subassembly; inserting a first half of the core subassembly into the hemispherical cavity of the first half shell and displacing an amount of the uncured liquid thermoset composition such that the uncured liquid thermoset composition forms an inner cover layer; dispensing the uncured liquid thermoset composition into the hemispherical cavity of the second half shell; inserting a second half of the core subassembly into the hemispherical cavity of the second half shell and displacing an amount of the uncured liquid thermoset composition such that the uncured liquid thermoset composition forms an inner cover layer and thereby mating the first and second half shells; curing the thermoset inner cover layer; and forming dimples in the outer surfaces of the mated first and second half shells.
