Abstract

The present invention relates to a golf ball having a high initial velocity. A multi-layer ball includes a core made of a high energy material such as a highly neutralized polymer and a cover made of a deadening material. A specified relationship exists between the compression and coefficient of restitution of the core and of the ball. The initial velocity of the ball is higher than what would be expected based on the coefficient of restitution of the ball compared to prior balls. The use of the deadening material allows the coefficient of restitution of the ball to be relatively low, which can yield improved spinnability in the half wedge shots while maintaining driver distance.

Fig. 5 is discussed now, and Fig. 5 representes the chart of the difference between embodiments of the invention and the at present commercially available ball.Be described in more detail below these balls.Numerical value on the Y axle of the left side is the initial velocity of ball when hitting the bar test with length.Each ball adopts down at the same terms (bar head speed, impact angle etc.) that the Nike SQ of 9.5 lofts is long to be hit bar and impact.
Represent initial velocity through the height of each bar shaped on the bar chart among the figure.Initial velocity is represented with miles per hour shown in the bar chart.Initial velocity 150 miles per hours approximate 220 feet per seconds.About 170 miles per hours of initial velocity approximate 250 feet per seconds.
The numeric representation ball on the right is made the as a whole coefficient of resilience in the chart.In order to measure the coefficient of resilience of object, with the initial velocity ejaculation object of air bubble with about 40 metre per second (m/s)s.Steel plate is positioned at apart from about 1.2 meters of big gun, about 0.6 to 0.9 meter apart from big gun in speed monitoring device.Object is penetrated by air bubble, and through the speed monitoring device, to confirm initial velocity.Afterwards, object strikes and is rebounded through the speed monitoring device to steel plate, to confirm return speed.The coefficient of resilience is the ratio of return speed and initial velocity.The coefficient of resilience of each ball is by 544 expressions of the line in the chart.
The X axle is represented test ball.Each test ball test initial velocity and coefficient of resilience.Preceding 9 balls (label 1-9) are commercially available golf.These balls all have the ball core that is about 40mm by the diameter of butadiene rubber compound.For each ball, the definite prescription of ball core is slightly different.The ball core of each ball is prepared to have the different compression degree and the coefficient of resilience the butadiene rubber with different additive or different size.It is believed that to have association between the coefficient of resilience and the ball core size, possibly be very strong association, so the minor variations of ball core size can be brought very important influence to the coefficient of resilience.The about 1.4mm in the top layer of each ball is thick and mainly prepared by
Figure BDA0000084631810000071
.
On the other hand, the ball of label 10 is the balls according to embodiment of the invention preparation.Be different from preceding 9 balls, the ball of label 10 has the diameter of mainly being processed by the fluoropolymer resin of highly neutralization to be about the ball core of 38mm.The diameter of ball core can arrive about 41mm greatly.About 2.1mm is thick on the top layer of ball, but can be as small as the thickness of about 0.9mm.If desired, can also comprise cover layer, meet the USGA minimum dimension regulation of 42.67mm (1.680 feet) to guarantee ball.
During the concerning of contrast initial velocity and the coefficient of resilience, it should be noted, for ball 1-9, population interconnection between the coefficient of resilience and the initial velocity.For example, for ball 1,2,4 and 5, its coefficient of resilience is less than 0.795, and initial velocity drops to and is lower than about 150.2.For ball 3,6,7 and 8, its coefficient of resilience is greater than 0.800, and initial velocity is greater than about 150.8.For ball 9, its coefficient of resilience is about 0.800, and initial velocity is about 150.8.Therefore, a kind of population interconnection between the graphical presentation coefficient of resilience and the initial velocity.
But chart display ball 10 initial velocities shown in Figure 5 depart from the expection initial velocity of traditional ball, and its coefficient of resilience is 0.774.For ball 10, coefficient of resilience value is about 0.774.Be different from by the initial velocity below 150 miles per hours of traditional ball 1-9 prediction, the initial velocity of ball 10 still keeps 150.8, and itself and the coefficient of resilience are far above the initial velocity of the ball of ball 10 much at one.Therefore, through adopting above-mentioned spherical structure, quarter butt can keep relatively low better feel and the rotatory of obtaining than the coefficient of resilience of ball in play, keeps sufficiently high initial velocity simultaneously and obtains long remote when hitting bar and impacting.
This impacts particular importance for half wedge.Have the ball of the low coefficient of resilience, the linksman often more firmly impacts ball, for example, adopts higher bar head speed, obtains the distance identical with the ball with higher coefficient of resilience.More firmly impact (bar head speed bigger), the rotation of giving ball the more.Therefore, the linksman can make the lower ball of the coefficient of resilience that good initial velocity is arranged and hit distance, but in the quarter butt match, has increased rotatory.
The additional features that can between existing ball and ball disclosed by the invention, contrast can be referring to Fig. 6.Fig. 6 is the different balls of expression and the degree of compression of ball core and the chart of the relation between the coefficient of resilience.The degree of compression of the endosphere sandwich layer of the value representation ball on the X axle.The degree of compression is through the mensuration of mode well known in the art.Spherical ball core and/or ball place under the initial load 10KG.On one or more points, for example on limit, seam or point at random, measure the measured value of bulb diameter, usually in millimeter.Write down single value or mean value.Load is increased to 130KG, on same point, measures second measured value of bulb diameter, still in millimeter.Write down single value or mean value under the heavy load more.Difference between record value is the degree of compression, in millimeter.
The coefficient of resilience of four kinds of situation that the value representation on the Y axle is considered.Line 650 expression diameters are about 38mm and by the degree of compression of the ball core of butadiene rubber compound and the relation between the coefficient of resilience.The Trendline equality of this ball core is expressed from the next
Y=0.7531-0.0128x 2+ 0.055x equality 1
Wherein x representes the inner spherical core degree of compression, and y representes the corresponding coefficient of resilience.
The degree of compression of line 660 expression balls and the relation between the coefficient of resilience, said bag is drawn together the top layer that covers the ball core shown in the line 650.The equality of this Trendline is expressed from the next
Y=0.6794-0.0179x 2+ 0.0831x equality 2
Wherein x representes the ball core degree of compression, and y representes the coefficient of resilience of ball as a whole.The difference of the relative coefficient of resilience of ball core and the coefficient of resilience of ball arrives between about 0.037 the scope between about 0.035.
But, comprise main or reveal tangible difference by the contrast table of the relative coefficient of resilience of the ball of the ball core of the polymer manufacture that highly neutralizes fully.Line 670 expression diameters are about 38mm and main or fully by the degree of compression of the ball core of the polymer manufacture that highly neutralizes and the relation between the coefficient of resilience.The equality of this Trendline is expressed from the next
Y=0.7951-0.0121x 2+ 0.0416x equality 3
Wherein x representes the ball core degree of compression, and y representes the corresponding coefficient of resilience.
The degree of compression of line 680 expression balls and the relation between the coefficient of resilience, said bag is drawn together the top layer that covers the ball core shown in the line 670.Said top layer has identical surface structure with the top layer of the ball shown in the line 650.The equality of this Trendline is expressed from the next
Y=0.6511-0.024x 2+ 0.1165x equality 4
Wherein x representes the ball core degree of compression, and y representes the coefficient of resilience of ball as a whole.The difference of the relative coefficient of resilience of ball core and the coefficient of resilience of ball is between about scope of 0.026 to 0.031.
Therefore, show clearly that for the given inner spherical core degree of compression, the ball with ball core is compared with the ball with HNP ball core has the lower coefficient of resilience like Fig. 6.Likewise, in order to obtain the optimum efficiency of padded coaming, the difference of the coefficient of resilience of ball core and the coefficient of resilience of ball is at least 0.026, but can significantly increase, as 0.037,0.05,0.1 or higher.The coefficient of resilience of ball is lower, and ball more is prone to rotation, thus need have the ball of the difference of the higher coefficient of resilience, as at least 0.037 or 0.05.The high relatively coefficient of resilience of above-mentioned ball core prepared in accordance with the present invention allows when the option table layer material, very big flexibility is arranged, because the coefficient of resilience of ball when padded coaming is provided as a whole still can be in the scope of optimum performance.
These beneficial effects are expression more simply in Fig. 7, and wherein for the given coefficient of resilience, ball core Trendline 762 is compared with HNP ball core Trendline 760 and shown the lower all the time ball core degree of compression.HNP ball core Trendline 764 (Trendline with complete ball of NHP ball core) as a reference.
Therefore, replacing the ball core with identical specific coefficient of resilience with the resin balls core with specific coefficient of resilience allows the relative coefficient of resilience of ball and ball core to have very big-difference.Especially the coefficient of resilience that surpasses the coefficient of resilience that ball core Trendline provides and said ball when the coefficient of resilience of resin balls core is during less than the given coefficient of resilience of following equality
Y=-0.0103x+0.8419 equality 5
Wherein y representes the coefficient of resilience, and x representes the inner spherical core degree of compression.
This usually can be through being realized by at least one inside of the ionomer/polymer manufacture/non-top layer of highly neutralization.Top layer character need not change between the polymer drops core of butadiene rubber ball core and highly neutralization.But when using the polymer drops core of highly neutralization, the difference of the coefficient of resilience of ball core and ball is at least about 0.004.This ball that allows to have the higher coefficient of resilience is by identical skin-material preparation.
When following the above-mentioned polymer drops core that is used for highly neutralization and during by the coefficient of resilience Trendline of the ball of the polymer drops core preparation of highly neutralization, possibly needing in accordance with other restrictions.For example, qualified ball has the coefficient of resilience less than the given trend of equality 5, perhaps more conservatively, has the coefficient of resilience of the trend that provides less than following equality
Y=-0.0103x+0.8299 equality 6
