DuPont resin helps Nike golf improve performance

She said that DuPont broke through the paradigm and used a new resin component to make the inner core of the golf ball, giving the golf ball compression (soft) and high speed.

These golf balls are based on a patented advanced ionomer technology that achieves an unprecedented level of ionic crosslinking and combines the unique high elasticity and low compressibility of thermosetting polybutadiene rubber.

Granato said that DuPont has been engaged in the development of golf material science for more than 50 years.

She said: "This is a huge challenge because it takes many years to achieve major breakthroughs in new (golf technology) fields.

Nike and DuPont jointly initiated this special golf project, but DuPont also maintains close contact with other companies and has developed a promotion plan that will be launched this summer.

This advanced high-performance resin technology is also expected to improve the sustainable development of golf, because this core material contains 30% renewable source materials.

Nike said that the key to the design lies in the inner core technology based on the interlocking design.

RockIshii, Senior Director of Nike Golf Product Development, said, "Through cooperation with DuPont, we have developed a softer and faster RZN material.

　　Granato said the in-depth application of this technology in golf will surprise consumers.

　　She said, "The small white golf ball is divided into many layers, with multiple outer layers, outer cores and inner cores.

　　"Our goal is not to compare with other materials, but to meet the market's demand for golf.

　　Most of the golfers who spoke for Nike Golf, including this year's British Open champion, Rory McIlroy from Europe, and Paul Casey, have used the ball in the 2014 game.
