A golf ball includes a core, a cover, and an intermediate layer disposed between the core and the cover, wherein the intermediate layer includes a non-ionomer fluoropolymer. The non-ionomer fluoropolymer has the formula: Embedded image (Wherein X 1 to X 12 are hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, CH 3 , CF 3 , a linear or branched alkyl group, a partially fluorinated or perfluorinated alkyl group, a linear or branched alkoxy group, Group, partially fluorinated or perfluorinated alkoxy group, aromatic or alicyclic, at least one of X 1 to X 4 contains fluorine, and m represents 100% by mass to 1% by mass of the fluoropolymer. Wherein n is in the range of 0 to 50% by weight of the fluoropolymer and o is in the range of 0 to 35% by weight of the fluoropolymer. |
