  • Publication number: 20170361510
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a core for a dual core golf ball is disclosed herein. A headblock is pressed against a mold tool wherein a hemispherical protrusion of the headblock compresses a slug within a first hemispherical cavity to form a first half shell outer core component. An inner core sphere is placed within the first half shell outer core component. An upper section of the mold tool is assembled onto a lower section of the mold tool to place a second half shell outer core component within an upper hemispherical cavity over the inner core sphere within the first hemispherical cavity to form a dual core component for a golf ball.

  • Publication number: 20080106000
    Abstract: An apparatus and related techniques for making a golf ball with deep dimples are disclosed. The golf ball comprises a core and a cover layer, wherein the cover layer provides deep dimples that extend through the cover layer and/or into a layer or component underneath are disclosed. At least one percent (1%), preferably about five percent (5%), of the dimples of the ball comprise deep dimples. The cover may be a single layer or include multiple layers. If the cover is a multi-layer cover, the dimples extend to or into at least the first inner cover layer, and may extend to or into two or more inner cover layers. If the cover is a single layer, the dimples extend to or into the core. The dimples may be spherical or non-spherical, and the portion of the dimple that extends to or into the next inner layer may be the same or different shape as the outer portion of the dimple.
