I HELPED MAKE THIS
Michael helped make this golf ball
At our New Martinsville, West Virginia site, Michael Bates works with thermoplastic urethanes that can be found in the outer covers of golf balls (and more!).
Covestro’s thermoplastic urethanes (TPU) are used in the outer cover of some golf balls, giving them the durability to withstand shot after shot while providing excellent feel and spin on every swing.
