  • Publication number: 20230390610
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf ball having improved flight distance on driver shots and excellent spin performance on approach shots (particularly under the condition that there is grass between the golf ball and the club face) and on middle iron shots. The present disclosure provides a golf ball comprising a spherical core and a cover disposed outside the spherical core, wherein when a center hardness of the spherical core (Shore C hardness), hardnesses at 2.5 mm, 5 mm, 7.5 mm, 10 mm, 12.5 mm and 15 mm points from a center of the spherical core toward a surface of the spherical core (Shore C hardness), and a surface hardness of the spherical core (Shore C hardness) are represented by H0, H2.5, H5, H7.4, H10, H12.5, H15 and Hs respectively, the following relation is satisfied: (H2.5?H0)>(H12.5?H10)>(Hs?H15).

  • Publication number: 20230381595
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf ball having excellent flight distance on driver shots and good spin rate on middle iron shots. The present disclosure provides a golf ball comprising a spherical core and a cover, wherein a hardness difference (C1-C0), a hardness difference (C2-C1), a hardness difference (C3-C2) and a hardness difference (C4-C3) are more than 0 and 6.0 or less, a hardness difference (C5-C4) is 5.0 or more, and a hardness difference (C6-C5), a hardness difference (C7-C6) and a hardness difference (C8-C7) are more than 0 and 3.5 or less where C0 (center), C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 and C8 (surface) are a Shore C hardness at each point from the center obtained by dividing a radius of the spherical core into equal eight parts.

  • Publication number: 20230060884
    Abstract: A golf ball can include a core, a mid layer, and a cover. The golf ball can satisfy the following mathematical formulas (1) and (2), (Fa/Fan)?0.90??(1), (Fa/Fan)2/(Fp/Fpn)?0.90??(2), wherein Fa represents a maximum vertical force of the golf ball measured under a first condition. Fan represents a maximum vertical force of a standard ball measured under the first condition, Fp represents a maximum vertical force of the golf ball measured under a second condition, and Fpn represents a maximum vertical force of the standard ball measured under the second condition.

  • Publication number: 20220314079
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf ball having excellent spin performance on approach shots. The present disclosure provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film composed of at least one layer and formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein an outermost layer of the paint film contains, as a base resin, a polyurethane obtained by a reaction between a polyisocyanate composition and a polyol composition, and the outermost layer of the paint film has tackiness of 0.294 N or more measured with a friction tester.
