Abstract: An elastomeric laminate material having resolution and image clarity includes an underlying ink graphic fabric material which is receptive to a elastomer-based material, the underlying ink graphic fabric material layer having an image thereon having interstitial areas residing in the underlying ink graphic fabric material layer and elastomer-based transparent material is formed as a layer thereon penetrating the interstitial areas in a manner to substantially remove all air therefrom and which is compressed and consolidated bonded to the ink graphic layer to form a substantially uniform laminate configuration and retain a transparent and elastic cushion characteristic through the exterior polymeric film layer enabling resolution and clarity of the image, wherein the exterior polymeric film layer imparts a nonslip tactile surface to the laminate.

Abstract: An elastomeric laminate material having resolution and image clarity includes an underlying ink graphic fabric material which is receptive to a SEBS like material, the underlying ink graphic fabric material layer having an image thereon having interstitial areas residing in the fabric and a SEBS like transparent polymeric material which is formed as a layer on the fabric layer and penetrating the interstitial areas in a manner to substantially remove all air therefrom and which is compressed and consolidated bonded to the ink graphic layer to form a substantially uniform laminate configuration and retain a transparent and elastic cushion characteristic through the exterior polymeric film layer enabling resolution and clarity of the image, wherein the exterior polymeric film layer imparts a nonslip tactile surface to the laminate.

Abstract: A high resolution elastomeric exterior laminate material includes an exterior polymeric film layer laminated to an ink graphic fabric layer. A method of making the high resolution elastomeric exterior laminate material includes providing an ink graphic fabric layer, providing an exterior polymeric film onto a first side of the an ink graphic fabric layer by one of a laminating, a molding, a rolling and an extrusion process to form a laminate.

Abstract: A golf club includes a club head 12 mounted on a shaft 14 of a golf club 10 at a hosel 16 of the club head 12, the club head 12 having a face 18 including a plurality of grooves 20 formed on a surface thereof and extending substantially across a width of the face 18, a back 22 and a sole 24 extending between a lower edge 27 of the back 22 and a leading edge 28 of the face 18, the sole 24 defining a heal portion 36, a toe portion 38, and a center portion 26, wherein the sole 24 of the golf club 10 at the center portion 26 behind the lowest point 30 of the leading edge 28 is such that the center portion 26 extends substantially above the lowest point 30 of the leading edge 28 at an angle relative to a generally horizontal surface H at address when the heel portion 36 and toe portion 38 contact therewith and the hosel 16 being relatively normal to the surface.
