The only difference in the manufacturing process that I'm aware of is their "offsetting" of the dimples. Bridgestone was the first, if I remember correctly, to slightly twist one half of the cover mold; this allows for a much less noticable seam and slightly more efficient flight. Pretty fascinating, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 That is pretty fascinating. I would really like to see how they make the Penta and other multilayer balls. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudfish Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 cool video... I love How it's Made... This just made me laugh... looks like the used ball bin in the clubhouse... throw in a couple Pinnacle, Slazenger, and Nike PD soft, and it's dead on...

Justin66 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 That is pretty fascinating. I would really like to see how they make the Penta and other multilayer balls. From what I know about injection molding (I'm no expert, but we do a bunch of it for car parts at my shop) it'd be inline, from an operations standpoint, with how they add the cover. Only, the core would obviously be smaller, then however many layers needed would be added after the preceding layer was allowed to cool. If they don't let it cool, I imagine the layers would melt together, so instead of a 5-piece ball like the Penta you'd have a 2-piecer with a multi-colored core. A Top-Flite with a urethane cover, basically . I'm going to try and dig a little more... maybe something will come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin66 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm going to try and dig a little more... maybe something will come up. Ok... I found this on YouTube. I tried a Penta-specific search, but nothing came up. I would think that something like that would be a useful marketing tool, but maybe that's why I'm sitting in front of my computer and not there. Anyway, this is a "Made in America" bit about Titleist. It's more of a lesson in the company, but there's a small part at about the 3:50 mark that shows a mantle layer being layered over the core. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy86YlsR0LU&feature=player_embedded#at=246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison101 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Great videos, who knew how those were made? I've definitely done my research into what makes up a golf ball but I haven't seen videos into how it's actually made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
