Patent ID: 8399564

Claim:
A golf ball comprising: a core consisting of a center and one or more intermediate layers covering the center; and a cover covering the core, wherein at least one piece or one layer of said intermediate layers is formed from a high fluidity intermediate layer composition that contains (A) a polyamide resin composition having a flexural modulus in a range from 500 MPa to 4,000 MPa and a melt flow rate (240° C., 2.16 kg) of 5.0 g/10 min or more, and containing (a-1) a polyamide resin and (a-2) a resin having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an anhydride group, a sulfonic acid group, and an epoxy group (including a glycidyl group); and (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid binary copolymer, a metal-neutralized product of the binary copolymer, an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid-(meth)acrylic acid ester ternary copolymer, and a metal-neutralized product of the ternary copolymer, and wherein the core has a compression deformation amount of from 1.5 mm to 5.0 mm, when applying an initial load of 98 N to a final load of 1275 N to the core.
