Embodiment 1

[0115] With 100 parts by weight of high-cis polybutadiene (high-cis polybutadiene) (the product of the trade name " BR-730 " that JRS company produces), the zinc acrylate of 27.0 parts by weight, the zinc oxide of 5 parts by weight, the zinc oxide of 12.3 parts by weight Barium sulfate, 0.2 parts by weight of 2-naphthalenethiol, and 0.8 parts by weight of dicumyl peroxide were kneaded to obtain a rubber composition. The rubber composition was put into a mold with upper and lower halves each having a hemispherical cavity, and heated at a temperature of 170° C. for 25 minutes to obtain a core with a diameter of 39.6 mm.

[0116] Using a twin-screw kneading extruder, 34 parts by weight of an ionomer resin (the aforementioned "Surlyn 8945"), 40 parts by weight of another ionomer resin (the aforementioned "Himilian AM7329"), 26 parts by weight of a styrene-embedded A thermoplastic elastomer (the aforementioned "Rabalon T3221C") and 32 parts by weight of tungsten powder were kneaded...

Abstract

A golf ball 2 includes a spherical core 4, a mid layer 6, and a cover 8. The core 4 is obtained by crosslinking a rubber composition. The difference between: a hardness H(5.0) at a point which is located at a distance of 5 mm from the central point of the core 4; and a hardness Ho at the central point is 6.0 or greater. The difference between: a hardness H(12.5) at a point which is located at a distance of 12.5 mm from the central point; and the hardness H(5.0) is 4.0 or less. The difference between a hardness Hs at the surface of the core 4 and the hardness H(12.5) is 10.0 or greater. The difference between the hardness Hs and the hardness Ho is 22.0 or greater. There is no zone in which a hardness decreases from the central point to the surface. A Shore D hardness H3 of the cover is greater than a Shore D hardness H2 of the mid layer.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Patent Application No. 2010-147123 filed in Japan on Jun. 29, 2010. The content of this prior application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] This invention relates to golf balls. More specifically, the present invention relates to golf balls that include a solid core, a mid layer, and a cover. Background technique [0003] The biggest appeal of golfers to golf balls is the performance of their flight. Golfers place a high value on flight performance when hitting a ball with drivers, long irons and middle irons. Flight performance is related to the elastic properties of the golf ball. When a golf ball having excellent elastic properties is hit, it flies at a high speed, thereby obtaining a long flight distance. [0004] In order to obtain a large flight range, an appropriate trajectory height is required. Track height depends on spin rate and launch angle. If a golf ball achieves a hig...
