While this process may raise the temperature of the finished golf ball to the preselected temperature, the end-user consumer golfer may not be aware of the preselected temperature. While we offer a wide variety of branded golf accessories, one argue that our promotional golf ball boxes and custom golf ball tubes are among the most important gift sets. While heating the cover layer to the golf ball core, the golf ball core may absorb the heat applied to the cover layer. For example, in some embodiments, heating the golf ball core may be performed by placing the golf ball core in an oven. In some embodiments, the golf ball core may be heated by placing the golf ball core in a heated liquid, such as oil. In some embodiments, step 202 may be performed before step 204. In other embodiments, step 200 may be performed directly before step 204 is performed. Step 202 may include incorporating the golf ball core into a finished personalized logo taylormade golf balls ball by applying at least one cover layer and/or at least one coating. Step 200 may include forming a golf ball core. The customization may be performed by anyone post-manufacture, such as the end-user him or herself, or by (for example) a golf pro at a golf pro shop.



















In some embodiments, step 104 may be performed before step 106. In other embodiments, step 104 may be omitted and step 102 may be performed directly before step 106. Generally, step 106 and step 108 may be performed by a party other than the party responsible for manufacturing the golf ball. When step 204 is performed after step 202, the entire finished golf ball may be heated during step 204. Thus, heating the golf ball core may entail heating the entire finished golf ball. The temperature the golf ball core is heated to during step 204 may be selected based upon the desired hardness of the golf ball core and/or other factors. As a result, the golf ball core may begin to cure from the outermost surface toward the center of the golf ball core. Step 204 may include heating the golf ball core to begin curing the golf ball core from the outermost surface toward the center of the golf ball core. For example, in some embodiments, step 200 may include compression molding a golf ball core. Compression molding involves using a mold to heat and press at least one slug of unmolded core material into a golf ball core.



















The rubber material that forms the cure indicator may include a highly conjugated pigment. In some embodiments, the preselected temperature may correspond to a specific color for the cure indicator in a gradient chart. The end user will visually see that the selected temperature has been achieved when the cure indicator reaches the desired color on the color gradient chart. In turn, the specific level of cure achieved is indicative of specific play characteristics the finished golf ball will exhibit when hit with a golf club. The specific level of cure further corresponds to specific play characteristics for the finished golf ball. The highly conjugated pigment provides a specific color to the rubber material when the rubber is uncured. When the rubber material is fully cured, the cured rubber material again is the color of the uncured rubber material without any pigment. When the rubber is fully cured, the pigment may not be providing any color to the rubber materials, leaving the rubber material in its natural color. As the rubber material is cured, the color of the rubber material changes from red to orange, then from orange to light orange, from light orange to yellow, and finally from yellow to white during the curing process.

Thus, step 106 may include a process that heats the golf ball to a preselected temperature without a user knowing the preselected temperature. Step 106 may include heating the finished golf ball and the cure indicator to a preselected temperature. In some embodiments, achieving the preselected temperature in step 106 is indicated by the color change of the cure indicator heated along with the finished golf ball. In step 202, the coating may be optionally applied to the golf ball core by any suitable method. The temperature the golf ball core is heated to during step 204 may be high enough to induce crosslinking in the golf ball core. The preselected temperature may be any temperature that delivers sufficient heat energy to cause crosslinking within the uncured inner core zone and the cure indicator. Thus, the rate at which the curing of the golf ball core is halted may control the degree of crosslinking. Titleist Velocity 2022 golf ball is the longest ball in their range with a firmer feel, but there is a trade off with less spin and control around the green. For example, the method used to apply the at least one cover layer to the golf ball core may be selected based on the type of cover material used and/or the type of method used to form dimples on the outside of the cover layer.
