Abstract

The present invention is directed to a golf ball (100) comprising a soft core (40) and a hard cover (10) such that the golf ball (100), when struck such as during play, exhibits a reduced spin rate. The golf ball (100) may comprise one or more mantle layers (20, 50) including one or more metals, ceramic, or composite materials. The golf ball (100) may also comprise an optional polymeric spherical substrate (30) disposed within the interior of the ball (100). The golf balls (100) according to the present invention exhibit improved spin, feel, and acoustic properties. The golf ball (100) of the present invention may also have enlarged diameter which serves to further reduce spin rate. The resulting golf ball (100) exhibits properties of reduced spin without sacrificing durability, playability and resilience.
