The application requires the title submitted on August 23rd, 2011 for the U.S. Provisional Patent Application of " having the golf of high initial speed degree " (" Golf Ball Having High Initial Velocity ") number 61/526 according to 35U.S.C. § 119 (e), 594 priority, and this application is combined in to this by reference.
Detailed description of the invention
In general, the present invention relates to a kind of golf with the variable initial velocity relevant from hit bar strike golf with the length of different bar head speed.The structure of the golf of this disclosure can make this golf when hit the strike of club head speed with the length that is less than 100mph, experience and the initial velocity that the high-quality golf on market is suitable at present.But identical golf can be to hit club head speed higher than the length of 125mph while hitting, experience is than at present at the high initial velocity of high-quality golf on the market.Therefore, the golf of this disclosure can have and the different initial velocity of different bar head velocity correlations.
Fig. 1 to 2 has shown an expressivity example embodiment of golf 100.In Fig. 1, amusement type linksman 142 uses a long bar 144 that hits to hit golf 100 and another kind of golf, and golf 182 leaves the ball seat 146 that is arranged in service area 148.As typical amusement type linksman, linksman 142 hits club head speed strike golf 100 and golf 182 to be less than the length of 100mph.Fig. 1 be presented at each golf by long hit bar 144 and hit after, the comparison between the track 150 of golf 100 and the track 180 of golf 182.Because having with hit club head speed with the length that is less than 100mph, each golf hit by long the similar initial velocity that bar 144 hits, therefore each golf has comparable path length.Because golf 100 is had similar initial velocity by long hitting after bar 144 hits hitting club head speed with the length that is less than 100mph, therefore approximately the same with track 180 extension longways of track 150.
In Fig. 2, professional linksman 152 uses length to hit bar 144 and hits golf 100 and another kind of golf, and golf 182 leaves the ball seat 146 that is arranged in service area 148.As typical professional linksman, linksman 152 hits club head speed strike golf 100 and golf 182 to be greater than the length of 125mph.Fig. 2 be presented at each golf by long hit bar 144 and hit after, the comparison between the track 160 of golf 100 and the track 162 of golf 182.Because golf 100 and golf 182 respectively have and are hit to be greater than the length of 125mph the different initial velocity that club head speed is hit by the long bar 144 that hits, therefore track 160 is longer than track 162.When being hit club head speed while hitting by the long bar 144 that hits to be greater than the length of 125mph, golf 100 has the initial velocity higher than the initial velocity of golf 182, and, and then golf 100 flies far than golf 182.

3.In certain embodiments, aspect their physical characteristic separately, can there is specific relation for the layer of making golf 100.For example, in order to have larger inertia distance, these golf ball layers have the proportion gradient that is increased to outer cover 140 from inner sandwich layer 110.In certain embodiments, inner sandwich layer 110 can have first proportion, and outer sandwich layer 120 can have than this first than the second proportion of great at least 0.01, and inner covering layer 130 can have than this second than great at least 0.01 the 3rd proportion.In certain embodiments, the proportion of each layer of golf 100 can have following mathematical relationship: inner sandwich layer 110 can have proportion SG1; Outer sandwich layer 120 can have proportion SG2; Inner covering layer 130 can have proportion SG3; And outer cover 140 can have proportion SG4, wherein SG3>SG4>SG2>SG 1.
In certain embodiments, golf 100 can have 300 to 400 pits (dimple) on the outer surface of outer cover 140.In certain embodiments, golf 100 can have 310 to 390 pits on the outer surface of outer cover 140.In certain embodiments, golf 100 can have 320 to 380 pits on the outer surface of outer cover 140.In the time that the sum of these pits is less than 300, the golf obtaining can produce one reduce flying distance exaggerate (blown-up) track.On the other hand, in the time that the sum of these pits is greater than 400, the track of the golf obtaining can easily decline, and this can reduce this flying distance.
Although different embodiments of the invention have been described, it is exemplary that this explanation is intended to, instead of restrictive, and is that possible more embodiment and implementation will be obvious for those skilled in the art within the scope of the invention.Therefore,, except appended claim and equivalent thereof, the present invention is unrestricted.In addition, can in the scope of appended claim, carry out various modifications and variations.
