Abstract:
A golf ball comprising: (a) a core; (b) at least one mantle layer adjacent to the core; (c) an inner cover layer adjacent to the mantle layer; and (d) an outer cover layer adjacent to the inner cover layer, wherein the inner cover layer has a material Shore D hardness that is at least 3 less than the material Shore D hardness of the outer cover layer, and the inner cover layer has a thickness of less than 0.050 in.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf ball comprising:\n (a) a core; (b) an inner mantle layer adjacent to the core; (c) an outer mantle layer adjacent to the inner mantle layer, wherein the outer mantle layer comprises a modified ionomer comprising acidic groups wherein 70 to 100 percent of the acidic groups are neutralized by a metal ion; (d) an inner cover layer adjacent to the outer mantle layer; and (e) an outer cover layer adjacent to the inner cover layer, wherein the outer cover layer is selected from a thermoset polyurethane or a thermoset polyurea, wherein the inner cover layer has a material Shore D hardness that is at least 3 units less than the material Shore D hardness of the outer cover layer, and the inner cover layer has a thickness of less than or equal to 0.050 in; and wherein the material Shore D hardness of the mantle layer adjacent the inner cover layer is at least 3 units greater than the material Shore D hardness of the inner cover layer.
