A method of forming a golf ball, comprising forming a set of thermoplastic hemispherical shells comprising an elastomeric compound comprising an elastomer and first, second, and third free radical initiators, The elastomer is precrosslinked to a first crosslink density, after which a spherical component is placed between the hemispherical shells, and the hemispherical shell is compression molded and cured around the spherical component to a second crosslink density. how to. This method uses three different crosslinking temperatures. |
