| abstract |
This invention is an improved golf ball (142) comprising a hollow, spherical shell (112) of a polymeric material; a unitary, noncellular core (124) of a material which, at the time of introduction into the shell, is a liquid; and a spherical cover (140) over the center (112). The spherical shell (112), as opposed to the core (124), is primarily responsible for the high initial velocity obtained when the golf ball (142) is struck by the golf club so as to allow the golf ball (142) to be driven long distances both in the air and on the ground when it lands. In one alternate embodiment (146), the shell is of a one-piece, blow molded construction (152). |
