ABSTRACT:
A golf driver club and a method for making a golf driver club comprising the steps of:
applying a curable coating composition comprising polytetrafluoroethylene to exterior surfaces of a driver head to provide a wet coated driver head;
drying the wet coated club driver head by heating at elevated temperatures of from about 350.degree. F. to about 400.degree. F. for from about 4 to about 10 minutes to provide a dried driver head;
curing the dried driver head by heating at an elevated temperature of from about 790.degree. F. to about 820.degree. F. for a period of from about 4 to 8 minutes, and thereafter, heating at a temperature of from about 700.degree. F. to about 800.degree. F. for a period of from about 10 to about 30 minutes to provide a driver club head having a cured, firmly adherent coating disposed thereon. The coating has a thickness of from about 20 um to about 40 um, and is effective to reduce backspin of a golf ball hit with said driver club by at least about 10% fewer RPM as compared to a similar driver club not having said coating. The combined properties of the driver are capable of increasing driving distances by about 5 to about 25 yards. The coating is effective to provide the club face with a kinetic coefficient of friction which is less than about 50% of the kinetic coefficient of friction of the club face of a similar driver club not having said coating.
