There are many things you need to know about the manufacturing of golf balls. Some of these components are naturally occurring while others are engineered. For example, the core material of a golf club is rubber with a liquid middle. It may also contain metals or an acrylate core. While these materials are similar, the compression of the core varies across different balls. Let's take a look at how different golf balls are constructed.
Modern golf balls are made of rubber or plastic
While modern golf balls still feature a rubbergut, they are more often made of plastic or rubber. Depending upon the manufacturer, the mantle or cover is either made from rubber or plastic. In the 1980s, the DuPont Company introduced a thermoplastic resin cover for golf balls. This material won't break when hit and will remain intact until dropped. The standard for golf balls of high quality is the synthetic cover.
Dimple patterns
The present invention relates to a method for packing dimples on the outer surface of a golf ball. The dimple pattern could be a triangular, hexagonal or circular shape. Additionally, many patterns based in Platonic Solids are available, such as the Octahedron (or Dodecahedron). Each pattern of dimples has its own aerodynamic characteristics. This invention relates to these properties and further, to the use of these patterns in golf balls.
Cover material
Golf balls aren’t made from molds. Actually, the molds are made by combining two processes. The first is to smoothen out the golf balls' surface before placing them on a spinning shaft. The paint is then applied using an automatic sprayer. To give the ball a high-sheen finish, and better scuff resistance, the clear coating is applied once the paint has dried. The balls are dried and loaded into containers. Large dryers are used to dry them.
Cost
Golf balls vary widely in price. They can go for as much as $10 per dozen if you are playing on a high-quality course. If you're only playing in the summer, however, they can be as low as $1 each. While it is difficult to tell the quality difference between good and poor balls, it is easy to feel the difference. Shopping around for the best prices on golf balls is a smart move.
Testing
The retort device is one of the essential components of a testing apparatus for golf ball. Retorts allow you to drop balls from a height of 40 centimeters to assess the bounce. The standard golf ball tester comes with three drop zones. Each zone has its own threshold for ball removal. Ryan drops three golf balls at a distance of 40 cm. The golf balls are bounced 10x in each zone. The best answer is the average bounce of all three.
