Golf balls for use with a system for finding golf balls and methods for making such golf balls. In the case of one exemplary golf ball, the ball includes a shell, a core material and a tag having a diode which is coupled to an antenna which has at least a portion formed from an elastic conductive material, such as an elastic conductive ink. The core material may include a void for receiving at least part of the diode. Other golf balls are described and methods for making balls are also described.

Apparatuses and methods relating to findable balls

Golf balls and a system for finding golf balls and methods for making golf balls and methods for using such balls. In the case of one exemplary golf ball, the ball includes a shell and a core material which is encased in the shell and a tag which is disposed within the core material and which has at least one perforation. The tag includes a diode and an antenna which are coupled together. Another exemplary golf ball includes a shell and a core material which is encased within the shell and a tag which is within the core material and which includes an electrical element which is coupled to an antenna; the tag is detectable over a range of at least 20 feet from a handheld device, and the golf ball has high durability and substantially complies with the golf ball specifications of the United States Golf Association.

Apparatuses, methods and systems relating to findable golf balls

Golf ball locators and components of such locators and methods of operating such locators and processing signals within such locators. In one aspect of the inventions described herein, an exemplary method of initializing a golf ball locator includes receiving received RF signals while also transmitting signals used to locate balls and determining a parameter representative of received signal strength of the received RF signals and setting a threshold to determine when subsequent received signals are to cause an indication of golf ball detection. In another aspect of this disclosure, the golf ball locator is a handheld unit having a volume of less than about 150 inches cubed and includes a transmitter, a transmit antenna, a receiver, a receive antenna and a processor coupled to the transmitter and to the receiver, and the handheld unit achieves a signal isolation, between a second harmonic of a transmitted signal from the transmitter and the receiver's received signal, of greater than about 130 to 160 dB. Other aspects are also described.

Golf ball with dimple pattern

Golf ball dimple pattern

Pattern of dimples on a golf ball

A golf ball construction () is provided having a solid core composition of a rubber having between 3 to 25 percent by weight of an additive selected from the group of boron carbide, silicon carbide, and/or other advanced ceramic materials, the additives providing an improved core composition. The golf ball () further has an improved dimple arrangement in which each dimple () defines a dimple edge () adjacent a land area () of the golf ball, the dimple edge having a radius between 0.050 inches to 0.250 inches. The cover () of the ball additionally provides a surface marking opposite a balance point of the golf ball. The balance point of the golf ball being determined by floating the golf ball and allowing the ball to assume a resting configuration within the floating solution.

Golf ball and method of manufacture

A golf club head having two layers of differently colored, material. One layer is molded with projections, and the other with corresponding recesses, into which the projections fit and are visible from the front strike face of the insert.

Golf club head with a strike face having a first insert within a second

An improved golf ball including a novel cover composition, including a blend of a high stiffness ionomer having a melt index of 0.5-5.0 g/min., flexural modulus of 60,000-120,000 psi and shore hardness of 70 or greater and a very low modulus methacrylic acid ionomer having a melt index of 0.5 to 10.0 g/min., flexural modulus of 2,000-8,000 psi or less and Shore D hardness of 20-50. The resulting golf ball shows improved resilience and playability over known golf balls.

Golf ball cover

A wood type metal golf club head having a hollow metal head and the cavity within filled with a thermoplastic material produced from a thermoplastic polymer, filler and chemical blowing agent in a manner so that the material in the cavity has a dense outer skin adjacent the surfaces of the cavity and a cellular central area and the finished product reduces the undesirable metallic sound made during hitting.

Method of making a foamed core golf club having a core density gradient

Golf balls exhibiting an improved coefficient of restitution are obtained by including zinc palmeatate in the core formulation.

Rubber composition for golf ball core and golf ball comprising said core

There is presented a golf ball having a core and a cover, the ball weighing 41-44.5 grams, and having a diameter of about 1.68 inches. The core is provided with a specific gravity of 1.01-1.09. The cover is provided with a specific gravity of 0.90-0.98 and a Shore D hardness of 40-65. The ball provides increased range when hit with slow to moderate club head velocity.
