[Evaluation Method]

(1) Color Tone

[0140]The color tone of the intermediate layer and the golf ball surface was measured with a color difference meter (“CM-350d” available from KONICA MINOLTA, INC.). The color tone of the golf ball was measured in a state that the paint film was formed on the golf ball body.[0141]Measuring conditions[0142]Measuring wavelength range: 360 nm to 740 nm[0143]Measuring region (diameter): 8 mmφ[0144]Measuring time: 1 second

(2) Easiness of Finding a Golf Ball on the Rough

[0145]The golf balls were sunk in the rough (length of grass: 5 cm to 10 cm) at a distance of 1 m to 10 m from the tester with an interval of 1 m. The longest distance at which the tester cor...

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having high visibility and excellent orientation at shot. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a core and a cover disposed outside of the core, wherein a surface of the golf ball has a first region with a first color and a second region with a second color, the first color has hue H1 represented by H value in HSL color space, the second color has hue H2 represented by H value in HSL color space, and the H1 and the H2 satisfy the following mathematical formula (1): 60<|H1−H2|<300 (1).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a golf ball, and particularly relates to a colored golf ball.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]Conventionally, a golf ball is white. In case of bad weather conditions such as rainy, cloudy, foggy and dim conditions, it is difficult to follow the trajectory of the white golf ball and visually recognize where the golf ball falls. In addition, in a case that the white golf ball lies on dead grass, it is difficult to find the golf ball even if the golf ball is nearby. In addition, recently, golf players desiring a fashionable golf ball are also increasing. Under such circumstances, a colored golf ball has been proposed in order to satisfy the requirements such as the fashionable appearance and the visibility under bad weather conditions.[0003]JP S63-38476 A discloses a method for producing a golf ball, comprising covering a first hemispherical shell and a core charged into a hemispherical concave portion of a lower mold havi...
