Golf balls including a layer with reinforced fibers and methods for forming such golf balls

   
   

The present invention is directed to a golf ball with a core and a polymeric layer reinforced with relatively long fibers. Such layer can be the cover, a portion of the cover, an intermediate layer, a portion of the intermediate layer, or any layer in the golf ball. Preferably, this layer comprises relatively long fibers embedded in a thermoplastic matrix to increase the flexural modulus and the impact resistance of the thermoplastic. The fibers may be arranged in random or non-random pattern in the layer.

La actual invención se dirige a una pelota de golf con una base y una capa polimérica reforzadas con las fibras relativamente largas. Tal capa puede ser la cubierta, una porción de la cubierta, una capa intermedia, una porción de la capa intermedia, o cualquier capa en la pelota de golf. Preferiblemente, esta capa abarca las fibras relativamente largas encajadas en una matriz termoplástica para aumentar el módulo flexural y la resistencia de impacto del termoplástico. Las fibras se pueden arreglar en patrón al azar o no-al azar en la capa.
