Abstract:
1. A golf ball, comprising: a core; a cover encasing the core; and a coating encasing the cover, wherein the coating includes a resin and a plurality of surface roughening particles; wherein the golf ball has a first set of construction specifications; wherein the plurality of surface roughening particles are present in the coating in a sufficient amount so that an exterior surface of the golf ball has a first micro surface roughness between about 1.2 μm and about 3 μm; the golf ball exhibits an overall average coefficient of lift to coefficient of drag that is at least 99.3% of the largest overall average coefficient of lift to coefficient of drag exhibited by: wherein micro surface roughness include deviations from an ideal surface of 0.25 mm or less and wherein coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag measurements are measured using standard USGA indoor test range testing protocols with balls launched in a pole orientation at an initial launch velocity of 258 ft/s, an initial launch angle of 9.7°, and an initial launch spin of 46 revolutions/s.
