Abstract

The present invention is directed to a solid, non-wound, golf ball (8) comprising two or more core components and a cover component. The core components comprise i) a small, inner, high density, spherical center component (20) comprising a blend of powdered metal and a first matrix material comprising polybutadiene and polyisoprene; and ii) an outer core layer (22) disposed about the spherical center component, formed from a second matrix material selected from the group consisting of a thermoset material, a thermoplastic material, or combinations thereof. The cover (11) may be single or multi-layed. The resulting golf ball of the present invention provides for enhanced playability characteristics (i.e. spin and feel) without sacrificing distance or durability properties.

Description

{57) The present invention is directed to a solid, non-wound, golf ball
{8) comprising two or more core components and a cover component. The core components comprise i) a small, inner, high density, spherical center component {20) comprising a blend of powdered metal and a first matrix material comprising polybutadiene and polyisoprene; and ii) an outer core layer 22, disposed about the spherical center component, formed from a second matrix material selected from the group consisting of a thermoses material, a thermoplastic material, or combinations thereof. The cover (11} may be single or multi-rayed. The resulting golf ball of the present invention provides for enhanced playability characteristics (i.e. spin and feel} without sacrificing distance or durability properties.
