| abstract |
The invention provides, in a golf ball having a core, an intermediate layer and a cover, a golf ball which combines an intermediate layer formed of an ionomer resin material having a high degree of neutralization with a cover formed of a material that includes a first ionomer resin having a high unsaturated carboxylic acid content and a second ionomer resin having a low unsaturated carboxylic acid content. The golf ball is able to achieve a lower spin rate on full shots with a driver (W#1) without reducing the spin performance on approach shots in the short game, provides high levels of both flight performance and controllability, and also has a good feel at impact. |
