Summary of the invention
The problem that invention will solve
The object of the present invention is to provide the big golf of a kind of flying distance of kicking off to bat.
The inventor is a purpose so that the excellent novel golf of flying quality to be provided; Proposed about " a kind of golf; it is characterized in that; have the spherical ball and the shell of the above said spherical ball of coating of one deck at least; said spherical ball is formed by rubber compsn, containing (a) base material rubber, (b) in the said rubber compsn is 3~8 α as the carbon number of co-crosslinker, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or its slaine, (c) cross-linked evocating agent, (d) carboxylate and (e) organosulfur compound; When (b) only contains carbon number as co-crosslinker is 3~8 α, and during beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid, said rubber compsn further contains (f) metallic compound; The content of said (d) carboxylate with respect to (a) base material rubber 100 mass parts, is more than 10 mass parts, discontented 40 mass parts " application (Japanese Patent Laid is willing to 2010-294589 number).
Japanese Patent Laid is willing to 2010-294589 number invention that relates to, and its Hardness Distribution mind-set surface from ball that will be intended to spherical ball roughly linearly increases.Because of ball Hardness Distribution mind-set surface from ball roughly linearly increases, and the outer amplitude crescendo of interior gentle structure just, cause rotation amount to descend, improved the performance of flying distance.The ball Hardness Distribution is the mind-set surface reason that increases of straight line roughly from ball, and following viewpoint is arranged.When ball was shaped, for the ball temperature inside, the ball central part was higher, then reduces near the ball surface.This is because the heat of reaction of cross-linking reaction is accumulated at the ball central part.When ball was shaped, said (d) carboxylate and (b) carbon number were 3~8 α, and the reacting metal salt of beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid produces the slaine of carboxylic acid.That is, (d) said carboxylate and carbon number are 3~8 α, and the slaine exchange cation of beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid, cut-out carbon number are 3~8 α, the metal corsslinking that the slaine of beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid produces.This cation exchange reaction takes place at the higher ball central part of ball temperature inside easily, then is difficult to gradually take place near the surface.In other words, the ball central part that is breaking at of metal corsslinking takes place easily, then becomes difficult gradually near the surface.Its result because the inner crosslink density of ball, the mind-set surface increases from ball, so think ball hardness, from ball the mind-set surface roughly straight line increase.
And the inventor is through further research, finds that through adopting (d) carbon number be 1~13 carboxylate, and the outer amplitude that softens in just of spherical ball is stronger than in the past, has reduced the rotation amount of kicking off to bat, thereby has accomplished the present invention.
Solve the means of problem
Golf of the present invention; It is characterized in that; Have the ball and the shell of the above said spherical ball of coating of one deck at least; Said spherical ball is formed by rubber compsn, and said rubber compsn contains (a) base material rubber, (b) as the carbon number of the co-crosslinker α between 3~8, and beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or its slaine, (c) cross-linked evocating agent, (d) carbon number are 1~13 carboxylate; When (b) only contains carbon number between 3~8 α as co-crosslinker, during beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid, said rubber compsn further contains (e) metallic compound.The present invention is through aforesaid formation, and spherical ball is the amplitude grow of the just interior structure that softens outward, and the rotation amount of kicking off to bat reduction, flying distance increase.In addition, the spherical ball that the present invention the uses linearity meeting part of its ball Hardness Distribution sometimes reduces, and in this case, outer just interior gentle amplitude is stronger than in the past, and the rotation amount of kicking off to bat reduces.
Through adopting (d) carbon number is 1~13 carboxylic acid, spherical ball outer just in gentle amplitude than stronger in the past reason following consideration was arranged.As stated, carboxylic acid and carbon number are 3~8 α, the slaine exchange cation of beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid, and cutting off by carbon number is 3~8 α, the metal corsslinking that the slaine of beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid produces.Think that the effect of cutting off this metal corsslinking receives the influence that the carbon number that is added is 1~13 carboxylate molal quantity.Simultaneously, carbon number is that 1~13 carboxylate also works as the plasticizer of spherical ball.Adds the combined amount (quality) that carbon number is 1~13 carboxylate if increase institute, the whole meeting of ball is softened.This plasticization effect receive add the influence of the combined amount (quality) of carboxylic acid.Consider these effects, through using the carboxylic acid of carbon number few (molecular weight is little), compare during with the carboxylic acid that uses carbon number many (molecular weight is big), under the situation of identical combined amount (quality), addible molal quantity increase.That is, can when the spherical ball integral body that suppresses to cause because of plasticization effect is softening, improve the action effect that cuts off metal corsslinking again.
The effect of invention
According to the present invention, a kind of big golf of flying distance of kicking off to bat can be provided.
