GOLF BALL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18439293 titled 'GOLF BALL
The present disclosure describes a golf ball designed to have excellent durability and an increased spin rate on driver shots, resulting in a suppressed flight distance.
- The golf ball is made of a spherical constituent member formed from a rubber composition containing natural rubber, a co-crosslinking agent, a crosslinking initiator, and an organic sulfur compound.
- The spherical constituent member has a center hardness (Ho) of 65 or more in Shore C hardness, with a hardness difference (Hs−Ho) of less than 16 in Shore C hardness between the surface hardness (Hs) and the center hardness (Ho).
- The absolute value of the hardness difference (Hs−H50) between the surface hardness (Hs) and the hardness (H50) at a 50% point of a radius of the spherical constituent member from the center is 10 or less in Shore C hardness.
Potential Applications: - Golf tournaments and competitions - Recreational golfing activities - Golf training and practice sessions
Problems Solved: - Improved durability of golf balls - Increased spin rate for better control - Suppressed flight distance for precision shots
Benefits: - Enhanced performance on driver shots - Longer-lasting golf balls - Improved accuracy and control for golfers
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Golf Ball Technology for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be used by golf ball manufacturers to create high-performance golf balls for professional and amateur golfers. It can also be marketed to golf enthusiasts looking to improve their game.
Questions about Golf Ball Technology: 1. How does the composition of the golf ball affect its performance on the course? - The composition of the golf ball, including the rubber components and crosslinking agents, directly impacts its durability and spin rate, leading to improved performance on the course.
2. What makes this golf ball different from traditional golf balls? - This golf ball stands out due to its specific composition and hardness characteristics, which contribute to its enhanced durability and spin rate, resulting in a suppressed flight distance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf ball having excellent durability and an increased spin rate on driver shots to travel a suppressed flight distance. The present disclosure provides a golf ball comprising a spherical constituent member, wherein the spherical constituent member is formed from a rubber composition containing (a) a rubber component containing a natural rubber, (b) a co-crosslinking agent, (c) a crosslinking initiator, and (d) an organic sulfur compound, a center hardness (Ho) of the spherical constituent member is 65 or more in Shore C hardness, a hardness difference (Hs−Ho) between a surface hardness (Hs) and the center hardness (Ho) of the spherical constituent member is less than 16 in Shore C hardness, and an absolute value of a hardness difference (Hs−H50) between the surface hardness (Hs) of the spherical constituent member and a hardness (H50) at a 50% point of a radius of the spherical constituent member from a center of the spherical constituent member is 10 or less in Shore C hardness.
