Abstract
Mold assemblies and methods for compression molding dual cores of golf balls are provided. The mold assemblies and methods for molding dual cores allow for direct and independent temperature control of both the shell forming plate and the mold cavity plate during manufacturing of the dual cores. The shell forming plate and the mold cavity plate are temperature-controlled by independent platens. The ability to precisely control the temperature of the shell forming plate independent from the temperature of the mold cavity plate prevents under and overcuring of the outer core layer, which can adversely affect core durability, concentricity, and manufacturing yields.
