Thread wound golf ball

Abstract

The present invention provides a solid center thread wound golf ball having long flight distance, while maintaining the characteristics peculiar to the conventional thread wound golf ball, i.e. good shot feel and good controllability. The present invention related to a solid center type thread wound golf ball comprising (a) a solid center composed of an inner center and a center outer layer formed on the inner center, (b) a thread rubber layer formed on the solid center, and (c) a cover covering the thread rubber layer, wherein the inner center has a diameter of 20 to 35 mm, the solid center has a diameter of 30 to 38 mm, and a specific gravity of the center outer layer is larger than that of the inner center by 0.1 to 0.4.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a thread wound golf ball comprising a solid center (a solid center type thread wound golf). More particularly, it relates to a solid center type thread wound golf ball having long flight distance, while maintaining the characteristics peculiar to the conventional thread wound golf ball, i.e. good shot feel and good controllability.[0002] Many golf balls are commercially selling, but they are typically classified into solid golf balls such as two-piece golf ball and three-piece golf ball, and thread wound golf balls.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, the thread wound golf ball is inferior in flight distance to the solid golf ball.

However, since the thread wound golf ball is generally inferior in flight distance as described above, it is required to increase the fight distance of the thread wound golf ball, while maintaining the characteristics of having good shot feel
