Abstract:
The present invention is directed to golf balls consisting of a multi-layer core and a cover. The multi-layer core includes at least one layer formed from a relatively soft or low modulus HNP composition and at least one layer formed from a relatively hard or high modulus HNP composition.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf ball comprising a core and a cover, wherein the core has an overall diameter of from 1.40 inches to 1.62 inches and consists of:\n (a) a center having a diameter of from 0.125 inches to 0.750 inches; (b) an intermediate core layer formed from a first highly neutralized polymer composition; and (c) an outer core layer formed from a second highly neutralized polymer composition; wherein the material hardness of the first highly neutralized polymer composition is less than the material hardness of the second highly neutralized polymer composition; wherein the intermediate core layer has a surface hardness less than the surface hardness of the center and the surface hardness of the outer core layer; and wherein at least one of the first highly neutralized polymer composition and the second highly neutralized polymer composition comprises:\n an acid copolymer of ethylene and an \u03b1,\u03b2-unsaturated carboxylic acid, optionally including a softening monomer selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylates and methacrylates; \n a non-acid polymer selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters, polyethers, polyurethanes, metallocene-catalyzed polymers, single-site catalyst polymerized polymers, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, styrenic block copolymer rubbers, alkyl acrylate rubbers, and functionalized derivatives thereof; \n an organic acid or salt thereof; and \n a cation source present in an amount sufficient to neutralize greater than 80% of all acid groups present in the composition.
