Golf ball with softer feel and higher iron spin

Golf ball with soft feel

Golf ball with softer feel and high iron spin

A golf ball comprises (a) a core, (b) an inner mantle layer, (c) an intermediate mantle layer, (d) an outer mantle layer and (e) at least one cover layer, and the material flexural modulus (FM) of the core and the various layers follows the relationship FM(core)&#x3c;FM(inner mantle)&#x3e;FM(intermediate)&#x3c;FM(outer mantle)&#x3e;FM(cover), or the relationship FM(core)&#x3c;FM(inner mantle)&#x3c;FM(intermediate)&#x3e;FM(outer mantle)&#x3e;FM(cover).

Golf ball with selected spin characteristics

A golf ball comprising (a) a core; (b) at least one mantle layer adjacent to the core; (c) an inner cover layer adjacent to the mantle layer; and (d) an outer cover layer adjacent to the inner cover layer, wherein the inner cover layer has a material Shore D hardness that is at least 3 less than the material Shore D hardness of the outer cover layer, and the inner cover layer has a thickness of less than 0.050 in.

Disclosed herein is a six piece golf ball wherein each part of the golf ball has certain characteristics.

Multi-layer golf ball construction

The present invention is to a golf ball having an equator at latitude 0&#xb0; and two poles; and an equator region defined by latitudes 0 to 25&#xb0;, a shoulder region defined by latitudes from more than 25&#xb0; to less than 65&#xb0;, and a pole region defined by latitudes 65&#xb0; to 90&#xb0;; and a dimple pattern on the surface of the golf ball having an average dimple volume of the equator region Ve, an average dimple volume of the shoulder region, Vs, and an average dimple volume of the pole region, Vp such that the ratio Vs/Ve is less than 0.97 and the ratio Vp/Vs is less than 0.97.

Golf ball

The present invention is directed to a multi-layer golf ball comprising at least one core or core layer, at least one intermediate layer, and at least one cover layer. The core has a diameter of about 1.20 to about 1.56 in. and a PGA compression of about 40 to about 90. The intermediate layer comprises a modified ionomeric polymer, and it has a thickness of about 0.01 to about 0.10 in. and a Shore D hardness of about 30 to about 70. The cover layer has a Shore D hardness of about 40 to about 75. The multi-layer golf balls of the present invention provide high driver ball speed and/or a high Coefficient of Restitution, while maintaining excellent shot feel.
