Abstract

Method of making an inventive golf ball incorporating a novel compression molded outer layer comprised of inventive first and second half-shells that are molded from preforms of extrudate, each preform created using a novel flying knife such that a cross-sectioned face of the preform has a curved depth which may be up to 20% greater than the depth of a preform created using a conventional straight edge and/or straight-faced flying knife. In one embodiment, the subassembly of the golf ball is a rubber spherical inner core, and the inventive compression molded outer layer is a rubber outer core layer. In a specific such embodiment, the rubber of the inner core and the rubber of the outer core layer differ.
