Abstract

A game ball (10, 20, 100) having a cover (14, 26, 104) formed from a crosslinkable thermoplastic polyurethane is disclosed. Various types of game balls are described, including golf balls (10, 20) and softballs (100). By selecting exposure to radiation, the thermoplastic polyurethane cover is crosslinked and its hardness is increased. Typically, increases in hardness values of at least 2 units on the Shore D scale are realized upon exposure to 3.5 Mrads of gamma radiation.
