Abstract:
1. A golf ball comprising: an inner core layer, wherein the inner core layer comprises a first highly neutralized polymer with a first flexural modulus, a second highly neutralized polymer with a second flexural modulus, and a low flexural modulus ionomer, and wherein the inner core layer has a diameter between about 24 mm and about 30 mm; an outer core layer, wherein the outer core layer surrounds and encompasses the inner core layer, and wherein the outer core layer comprises a rubber composition; and a cover layer, wherein the cover layer surrounds and encompasses the outer core layer, wherein the first highly neutralized polymer is about 20 to 60 parts by weight of the inner core layer, wherein a ratio of the second flexural modulus to the first flexural modulus is less than 2, wherein the low flexural modulus ionomer has a flexural modulus of less than about 8,000 psi, wherein the low flexural modulus ionomer is from about 1 to about 50 parts by weight of the inner core layer, wherein the inner core layer has a first coefficient of restitution measured with an initial velocity of 131 ft/s, the outer core has a second coefficient of restitution measured with an initial velocity of 131 ft/s, and the golf ball has a ball coefficient of restitution measured with an initial velocity of 131 ft/s, wherein the first coefficient of restitution is higher than the second coefficient of restitution, and wherein the first coefficient of restitution is higher than the ball coefficient of restitution, wherein a first difference between the first coefficient of restitution and the ball coefficient of restitution is greater than about 0.015, and wherein a second difference between the first coefficient of restitution and the second coefficient of restitution and the second coefficient of restitution is greater than about 0.02.
