Abstract
A golf ball having a compressible core with an RFID tag embedded therein is described. The compressible core comprises an outer core that surrounds an inner core and the RFID tag. The outer core has a hardness that is greater than the inner core. The RFID tag is composed of a planar carrier, a planar RFID integrated circuit, and an RFID antenna. The RFID integrated circuit includes a memory that stores at least one unique identifier. The RFID antenna is electrically coupled to the planar RFID integrated circuit. The planar carrier includes a first carrier surface that is parallel to a second carrier surface, and the planar carrier receives the RFID antenna and the RFID integrated circuit on the first carrier surface to form the RFID tag. Additionally, the molded shell encapsulates the compressible core.
