A golf ball exhibits excellent abrasion-resistance and resilience. A golf ball of the present invention includes: a core; and a cover covering the core, wherein the cover is formed of a cover composition containing a (meth)acrylic polymer-modified silicate and a resin component.
1. A golf ball comprising:
a core;
a cover covering the core,
wherein the cover is formed of a cover composition containing a (meth)acrylic polymer-modified silicate and a thermoplastic polyurethane or an ionomer resin component, and
wherein the (meth)acrylic polymer-modified silicate comprises a porous silica, wherein the (meth)acrylic polymer is incorporated into pores of the silica and envelopes the silica
wherein the cover contains 0.01 part to 20 parts by mass of the (meth)acrylic polymer-modified silicate with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin component.
2. The golf ball according to claim 1 , wherein the cover composition has a slab hardness of 75 to 98 in Shore A hardness.
