A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core is provided. The fiber flock preferably has high color vibrancy to provide high quality aesthetics. Preferably, the fiber flock comprises fiber segments having a length less than one inch. The fiber segments may have substantially equal dimensions. In other instances, the fiber segments are of unequal dimensions. The golf ball includes a translucent cover layer surrounding the core. Thus, the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball. Special decorative effects can be achieved using colored fiber flock and reflective particulate such as pearlescent pigment in the layers surrounding the core.

1. A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core, comprising the steps of: providing a core having an adhesive-coated surface;applying fiber flock onto the adhesive-coated surface of the core so that the fiber flock bonds to the surface, wherein the fiber flock is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane-polyurea copolymers, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyamides, polyethylene terephthalates, polyphenylene terephthalates, polyketones, and polyacrylonitriles; andforming an outer cover layer over the core, the cover layer comprising a translucent polymer, wherein the fiber flock is partially embedded in the translucent polymer of the cover layer, so the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the fiber flock comprises fiber segments having lengths less than one inch. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the fiber flock comprises fiber segments having substantially equal dimensions. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the core comprises light-reflecting white pigment. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the core comprises light-absorbing colored pigment. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the core comprises at least one thermoset rubber material selected from the group consisting of polybutadiene, ethylene-propylene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, polyisoprene, styrene-butadiene rubber, polyalkenamers, butyl rubber, halobutyl rubber, polystyrene elastomers, copolymers of isobutylene and p-alkylstyrene, halogenated copolymers of isobutylene and p-alkylstyrene, copolymers of butadiene with acrylonitrile, polychloroprene, alkyl acrylate rubber, chlorinated isoprene rubber, acrylonitrile chlorinated isoprene rubber, and mixtures thereof. 7. A method for making a golf ball having fiber flock bonded to a core, comprising the steps of: providing a core having an adhesive-coated surface;applying fiber flock onto the adhesive-coated surface of the core so that the fiber flock bonds to the surface;forming an intermediate layer over the core and an outer cover layer over the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer and cover layer each comprising a translucent polymer, wherein the fiber flock is partially embedded in the translucent polymer of the intermediate layer so the fiber flock is visible from the exterior of the ball. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the intermediate and cover layers each comprise reflective particulates. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the reflective particulates are selected from the group consisting of pearlescent pigments, metal flakes, iridescent glitter, metalized films, and colored polyester foils. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein intermediate layer comprises at least one thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of partially-neutralized ionomers; highly-neutralized ionomers; polyesters; polyamides; polyamide-ethers, polyamide-esters; polyurethanes, polyureas; fluoropolymers; polystyrenes; polypropylenes; polyethylenes; polyvinyl chlorides; polyvinyl acetates; polycarbonates; polyvinyl alcohols; polyester-ethers; polyethers; polyimides, polyetherketones, polyamideimides; and mixtures thereof.
