Discussion on: 'Advanced Motion Control: An Industrial Perspective' by M. Steinbuch and M. L. Norg

The present invention is directed to a golf ball having a core surrounded by an outer cover. The outer cover is formed of conventional materials such as a natural or synthetic resin and in accordance with the present invention, a plurality of hard particles is disposed within the outer cover such that a predetermined number of the hard particles protrude from an outer surface of the outer cover. Preferably, the plurality of hard particles comprises diamond particles and the plurality of diamond particles are present in the golf ball cover such that about 1% to about 40% of the total outer surface area of the outer cover is occupied by the plurality of diamond particles.
