Title: The Innovations of Dennis Nesbitt
Introduction
Dennis Nesbitt is a notable inventor based in Westfield, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of sports equipment, particularly in the design and composition of golf balls. With a total of 7 patents to his name, Nesbitt's work reflects a commitment to enhancing the performance and quality of golf products.
Latest Patents
One of Nesbitt's latest patents is for a golf ball that features an outside diameter of at least 1.70 inches. This innovative design includes a core, an inner cover or mantle, and an outer cover. The mantle and outer cover have different Shore D hardness levels, with dimples covering at least seventy percent of the ball's outer surface area. In one embodiment, the mantle has a Shore D hardness between 50 and 60, while the cover has a hardness of 65 or less, ensuring that the mantle hardness is greater than that of the cover. In another embodiment, the roles are reversed, with the mantle having a Shore D hardness of 65 or less and the cover between 50 and 60, making the cover hardness greater than the mantle hardness.
Another significant patent is for a golf ball and method of producing the same. This invention focuses on improved multi-layer golf ball compositions that include a core, an inner cover, and an outer cover. The design allows for a smaller and lighter core, incorporating metal particles or other heavy weight filler materials in the inner cover compositions. This results in a molded golf ball that exhibits enhanced interior perimeter weighting, ultimately producing a golf ball that meets or is less than the 1.62-ounce maximum weight limitation specified by the United States Golf Association. The combination of these innovations leads to a golf ball with an increased moment of inertia and a greater radius of gyration, generating lower spin and enhancing distance without compromising feel and durability.
