Abstract
A finished, regulation long range, solid construction, multi-piece golf ball including a discrete cover and a core. The core has an inner and an outer portion. Either the outer portion or the entire core has a plurality of gas containing compressible cells dispersed therein, and either the outer portion or the entire core the a specific gravity greater than 1. The compressible cells are produce by a method selected from the group consisting of foaming, using a blowing agent, injecting a gas and incorporating a plurality of microspheres having a flexible outer surface.
