ABSTRACT:
Golf ball covers incorporate base material compositions including a sound-altering material for selectively enhancing or dampening the acoustic output of a golf ball when it is struck. A ratio in the composition by weight of base material to sound-altering material ranges between 99.9:0.1 and 92:8. The invention allows for the altering of the sound of the golf ball while retaining the mechanical properties of the golf ball cover.
