Abstract:
A method for coating a golf ball comprising the steps of:providing a golf ball component; providing a polymer material selected from the group consisting of vinyl resins; polyurethanes; polyureas; polyamides; acrylic resins; polyphenylene oxide resins; thermoplastic polyesters; polycarbonates; acrylonitriles; butadiene styrenes; nolybutylenes; polyethylenes; blends of thermoplastic rubbers with polyethylenes; polypropylenes; polyacetals; nylons; polyesters; epoxies; glycidyl polymers; or cellulose esters; creating a polymer particulate from the polymer material; fluidizing the polymer particulate; coating the golf ball component with a layer of the polymer material by placing the golf ball component within the fluidized particulate, such that the layer has a thickness of less than about 0.03 inches; and molding or casting a cover over the layer of polymer material, the cover comprising a polyurethane, an ionomer, or a polyurea material.
