Definitions
- the present invention relates to golf balls. Specifically, the present invention relates to so-called two-piece golf balls including a core and a cover.
- golf balls are hit with a wood type club, an iron type club, a hybrid type club (utility), and a putter, etc.
- Feel at impact upon hitting is of interest to golf players.
- golf players desire golf balls having soft feel at impact.
- thread-wound balls used to be mainstream golf balls. At present, thread-wound balls are almost not available commercially. In recent golf, two-piece balls, three-piece balls, four-piece balls, five-piece balls, six-piece balls, and the like are used.
- a two-piece ball includes a core and a cover.
- the structure of the two-piece ball is simple.
- the two-piece ball can be manufactured at low cost. Proposals concerning two-piece balls are disclosed in JPH11-76461 (USP 6,123,629 ) and US Patent No. 5971870 .
- Two-piece balls are suitable for beginners, since two-piece balls can be manufactured at low cost. As descried above, beginners prefer soft feel at impact upon putting. Improvement of feel at impact of two-piece balls upon putting is desired.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a two-piece golf ball having excellent feel at impact upon putting.
- a two-piece golf ball according to the present invention includes a core and a cover positioned outside the core.
- a value V calculated by the following mathematical formula is equal to or less than 1080 Hz.
- V NF 2 2 ⁇ 2 / 3 * NF 2 1
- NF(2)1 represents a secondary natural frequency of the core
- NF(2)2 represents a secondary natural frequency of the golf ball.
- the two-piece golf ball according to the present invention has a simple structure.
- the golf ball can be manufactured at low cost. Since the value V is equal to or less than 1080 Hz, the feel at impact of the golf ball upon putting is soft. The golf ball can achieve both a low price and desired feel at impact.
- a difference (H1s-H1o) between a Shore C hardness H1s at a surface of the core and a Shore C hardness H1o at a central point of the core is equal to or greater than 10.

- the golf ball 2 includes a paint layer and a mark layer on the external side of the cover 6 although these layers are not shown in the drawing.
- the golf ball 2 preferably has a diameter of equal to or greater than 40 mm but equal to or less than 45 mm. From the standpoint of conformity to the rules established by the United States Golf Association (USGA), the diameter is particularly preferably equal to or greater than 42.67 mm. In light of suppression of air resistance, the diameter is more preferably equal to or less than 44 mm and particularly preferably equal to or less than 42.80 mm.
- the golf ball 2 preferably has a weight of equal to or greater than 40 g but equal to or less than 50 g. In light of attainment of great inertia, the weight is more preferably equal to or greater than 44 g and particularly preferably equal to or greater than 45.00 g. From the standpoint of conformity to the rules established by the USGA, the weight is particularly preferably equal to or less than 45.93 g.
- the core 4 is formed by crosslinking a rubber composition.
- base rubbers for use in the rubber composition include polybutadienes, polyisoprenes, styrene-butadiene copolymers, ethylenepropylene-diene copolymers, and natural rubbers. In light of resilience performance, polybutadienes are preferable.
