An article of manufacture for providing a supplemental compensating saddle used with a classical guitar having a head, a neck, a sound board, a bridge, a saddle, and a set of strings running from the head to the bridge. The supplemental compensating saddle includes a mounting bracket having a higher rear vertical member and a lower front vertical member coupled together, the mounting bracket being mounted behind the bridge, a set of node assemblies coupled to the higher rear vertical member and extending across the bridge and under the set of strings, each of the node assemblies supporting a corresponding string within the set of strings, and a set of adjustable securing mechanisms coupling each of the node assemblies to the higher rear member of the mounting bracket, each adjustable securing mechanism enables each corresponding node assembly to move parallel to a path of the corresponding string within the set of strings.

A golf ball () having a low volume cover layer () is disclosed herein. The golf ball () has a cover layer () with a volume less than 0.1550 cubic inches. In a preferred embodiment, the cover layer () is composed of a reaction-injection molded polyurethane material. Preferably, the cover layer () has a plurality of deep depressions () with either a plurality of multi-faceted polygons () or dimples.

Low volume cover for a golf ball

A golf ball having traditional dimples and a tubular lattice structure is disclosed herein. The golf ball has dimples and a plurality of lattice members that form multi-faceted polygons. Each of the plurality of lattice members has an apex and the golf ball of the present invention conforms with the 1.68 inches requirement for USGA-approved golf balls. The interconnected lattice members form a plurality of polygons, preferably hexagons and pentagons. Each of the lattice members preferably has a continuous contour.

Aerodynamic pattern for a golf ball

An apparatus and method for demolding golf balls from a mold cavity are disclosed. More specifically, an apparatus and method for demolding a golf ball from a mold cavity subsequent to forming a cover layer without the use of ejector or knockout pins are disclosed. The molding apparatus utilizes an undercut configuration that, upon opening the molds after molding a golf ball, serves to impart a rotational force upon the ball and dislodge it from the molds.

Method and apparatus for demolding a golf ball

A golf ball () having a plurality of primary dimples () with annular tubular portion () is disclosed herein. In a preferred embodiment, there are 332 primary dimples which cover a surface area ranging from 81% to 87% of the golf ball (). Also in a preferred embodiment, there are twenty different types of primary dimples (), which vary in diameter, chord depth and/or entry angle.

Pinless molding of a cover () for a golf ball (), and an apparatus and method for manufacturing a golf ball precursor product () for use in pinless molding is disclosed herein. Preferably the golf ball precursor product () comprises a core () and a mantle layer (). The golf ball precursor product () preferably has a plurality of lobes () extending from an innersphere (). The plurality of lobes () allow the golf ball precursor product () to be centered within a cover mold without the use of pins for centering.

A golf ball () approaching zero land area is disclosed herein. The golf ball () has an innersphere with a plurality of primary lattice members () and a plurality of sub-lattice members (). Each of the plurality of primary lattice members () has an apex and the golf ball () of the present invention conforms with the 1.68 inches requirement for USGA-approved golf balls. The interconnected primary lattice members () and plurality of sub-lattice members () preferably form a plurality of dual polygons, preferably dual hexagons and dual pentagons.
