Patent ID: 7988901

Claim:
A method of forming a golf ball, the method comprising: placing a golf ball precursor product in a first solution to create a first solution covered golf ball precursor product, the golf ball precursor product comprising a cover comprising a thermoplastic aliphatic polyurethane material in an amount of 50 to 99.99 weight percent of the cover and a dendritic polymer, containing reactive end groups, in an amount of 0.01 to 50 weight percent of the cover, the first solution comprising chemical functionalities capable of reacting with the dendritic polymer; removing the first solution covered golf ball precursor product from the first solution; air drying the first solution covered golf ball precursor product to create a dried solution covered golf ball precursor product; placing the dried solution covered golf ball precursor product in a second solution comprising an isocyanate, a dendritic polymer and a solvent to create a second solution covered golf ball precursor product; and heating the second solution covered golf ball precursor product to create a final golf ball precursor product.
