Abstract
Golf ball having CoR of at least 0.810, specific gravity SGof less than 1.00 g/cc, and initial velocity of at least 250 ft/s and comprising a first layer L, a second layer Lsurrounding L, and a third layer Lsurrounding L. Lis formed from at least one highly neutralized polymer and has first specific gravity SG; Lis formed from at least one partially neutralized polymer and has second specific gravity SG; and Lis formed from at least one of a thermoset or thermoplastic composition and has third specific gravity SG. At least two of SG, SG, and SGis less than 1.13 g/cc. SGmay be less than 1.13 g/cc, or less than 1.0 g/cc. The thermoset or thermoplastic composition may comprise polyurethane(s), polyurea(s), polyurethane(s)/polyurea(s) hybrids, and/or ionomers such as at least partially neutralized polymers and/or HNPs.
