Abstract
The present invention is directed towards golf balls comprising a core, a cover and a coating composition layer, wherein the coating composition layer comprises a fluorinated polyurethane. The novel fluorinated polyurethane coating composition of the present invention enhance a variety of properties such as enhanced abrasion, impact and weathering resistance as compared to golf balls with conventional coating composition. Additionally, the presently claimed fluorinated polyurethane coatings also decrease the coefficient of friction of the surface of the golf ball, resulting in a modification of the spin rate when struck with a golf club and superior cleaning characteristics.
