Abstract
A solid multi-piece golf ball includes a solid elastic core, an intermediate layer of a thermoplastic material and a cover. The core undergoes a deformation of 3.2-6.5 mm when subjected to a load of 1274 N from an initial load of 98 N. The cover has a Shore D hardness of 45-55 and the intermediate layer has a Shore D hardness of 54-65 and higher than that of the cover. The cover and the intermediate layer have a combined thickness of 2.3-3.5 mm and a ratio of cover thickness to intermediate layer thickness between 0.48 and 0.84. This combination of features provides the ball with qualities desired by professional golfers and skilled amateurs, including carry, spin performance, cracking resistance, topping durability, scuffing resistance, and feel.
