Embodiment Construction

[0023] The disclosed embodiments relate to golf balls having improved constructions that include two pigments. The two pigments are movable relative to each other and the outer surface so that the assumed color of the golf ball changes according to its rotation.

[0024] figure 1 is a cross section of a golf ball 100 according to an example. Golf ball 100 has a plurality of successive radially or circumferentially disposed layers. The innermost layer is the ball center 102 . Center 102 may be any type of center commonly used in golf balls. For example, the core 102 may be liquid-filled or solid-filled. The solid may be rubber, resin or other suitable material. The cores can also have different weights. Center 102 may also include a wound cover. Those of ordinary skill in the art can select a center that produces the desired technical and flight characteristics. An optional mantle layer is not specifically shown in the drawings, but the optional mantle layer may be wrap...

Abstract

A golf ball (100) includes an inner layer (103), an outer layer (104), and a cavity (108) therebetween. A pigment (112) is placed in the cavity. When the ball is struck, the pigment moves from a consolidated position to a dispersed position adjacent the outer layer. An observation of the dispersed pigment informs the golfer of the spin imparted to the ball.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a golf ball exhibiting discoloration. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf ball having an outer layer containing different pigment colors. Background technique [0002] There is a need to provide the golfer with an indication of how much spin (especially how much backspin) he is imparting to the ball. Although a golfer can make such judgments by noting the spin of the imprint on the ball, the golfer's eyes are likely not sharp enough to judge how much spin is on the ball, even if the ball only travels a short distance. Although where the ball ends up giving an additional indication of spin, the greens (putting greens) and slopes can affect how much the ball rolls back, making it difficult for the golfer to accurately determine whether changes in the swing are contributing to the spin. make an impact. [0003] It also helps if the golfer can see the flight of the ball. Seeing the ball in flight ...
