1. A method for inspecting a golf ball comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining at least one image of the golf ball using a sensor after a surface coating has been applied to at least a portion of the golf ball, wherein the image comprises an array of pixels and each pixel is represented by a numerical value indicative of a brightness level of each pixel and transferring the at least one image to an analyzer; (ii) ascertaining at least one region of interest on the golf ball; (iii) determining whether the surface coating was applied evenly on the region of interest, wherein a threshold pixel counting tool is employed to analyze the image; (iv) determining a total number of pixels above a threshold numerical value within the region of interest; (v) comparing the total number of pixels to a reference number; and (vi) diverting the golf ball if the total number is greater than the reference number.
