Abstract
A golf ball fabrication method comprises Step a: providing a core; Step b: spraying a thin resin film on the surface of the core to form a conductive layer; Step c: vacuum-electroplating the surface of the core to form a glossy thin metallic film functioning as a reflective layer; and Step d: encapsulating the glossy thin metallic film with a transparent resin layer in an injection-molding technology to form a transparent outer layer of the golf ball. The method can fabricate in a simple way a golf ball having a superior reflective effect and a long service life simultaneously.
