Abstract

A golf ball comprising a core comprising an inner core center and an outer core layer disposed over the inner core center. The inner core center has a deflection of greater than 0.210 inch under a load of 100 kilograms, and the entire the core has a deflection ranging from 0.130 inch to 0.105 inch under a load of 100 kilograms. A mantle layer is disposed over the core and a cover is disposed over the mantle.

Claims (12)

1. A golf ball comprising:

a core comprising an inner core center and an outer core layer disposed over the inner core center, the inner core center comprising a polybutadiene material and having a deflection of greater than 0.210 inch under a load of 100 kilograms, wherein the core has a deflection ranging from 0.130 inch to 0.105 inch under a load of 100 kilograms, wherein the core has a mass ranging from 25 grams to 40 grams, wherein the core has a diameter ranging from 1.40 inches to 1.64 inches;

a mantle layer disposed over the core, the mantle layer having a thickness ranging from 0.030 inch to 0.075 inch, wherein the mantle layer is composed of a material having a plaque Shore D hardness ranging from 44 to 50; and

a cover disposed over the mantle, the cover composed of a cover material comprising an ionomer material, the cover having a thickness ranging from 0.015 inch to 0.050 inch;

wherein the golf ball has a diameter ranging from 1.65 inches to 1.685 inches.
