Abstract
A golf ball has a core, an inner cover, an outer cover, and dimples. The golf ball satisfies the following mathematical formulas. Sa=4500+10(A−0.5B−2Cs)≥4000 0.04Sa+160−20≤D≤0.04Sa+160+20 A: a compression (Atti) of the golfball B: a hardness difference (Shore C) between a surface and a center of the core Cs: (Hi×Ti+2Ho×To)/(Ti+2To) D: a total volume (mm3) of the dimples Hi: a hardness (Shore D) of the inner cover Ho: a hardness (Shore D) of the outer cover Ti: a thickness (mm) of the inner cover To: a thickness (mm) of the outer cover
Claims19
A golf ball comprising a core, an inner cover positioned outside the core, and an outer cover positioned outside the inner cover, wherein
- the golf ball has a plurality of dimples on a surface thereof,
- the golf ball satisfies the following mathematical formulas (III) and (V),
- Sa=4500+10(A−0.5B−2Cs), (III)
- Sa≥4079, and
- 0.04Sa+160−20≤D≤0.04Sa+160+20 (V), where
- A:
- a compression (Atti) of the golf ball,
- B:
- a hardness difference (Shore C) between a surface and a center of the core,
- Cs:
- (Hi×Ti+2Ho×To)/(Ti+2To),
- D:
- a dimple total volume (mm3),
- Hi:
- a hardness (Shore D) of the inner cover,
- Ho:
- a hardness (Shore D) of the outer cover,
- Ti:
- a thickness (mm) of the inner cover, and
- To:
- a thickness (mm) of the outer cover.
