The present invention provides methods for producing molded golf balls and the resultant balls. The methods of this invention involve producing foamed polyurethane covers and these methods help reduce dimple distortions and other surface imperfections. These golf balls contain an inner core and outer foamed polyurethane cover. One or more intermediate layers can be disposed between the core and cover. In one embodiment, a castable liquid polyurethane composition containing a foaming agent is dispensed into mold cavities, which are then pressed together to form a foam cover for the ball.

A method for preparing an aqueous polyurethane dispersion includes the following steps. The method characterized in that it introduces an ethoxy group to sodium ethylenediamine sulfonate (H2N—CH2CH2NHCH2CH2SO3Na) serving as an anionic chain extender to form sodium ethylenediamino ethoxyethyl sulfonate (H2NCH2CH2NHCH2CH2OCH2CH2SO3Na). Next, hydrophilic groups of sodium ethylenediamino ethoxyethyl sulfonate are used to prepare an aqueous polyurethane to improve the flowability of the resin, in which the polyurethane prepolymer has an isocyanate group at its end. More than one acrylate monomer is used for dilution and reduction of viscosity, and hydrophilic and amine groups containing sulfonate is used for water dispersion and to carry out a chain extension reaction. After that, an initiator is added for acrylic polymerization, so as to modify polyurethane with graft acrylic.
