Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/028666
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A golf ball having an outer cover layer with a lower flexural modulus than that of an inner core layer and/or an inner cover layer is disclosed. The lower flexural modulus of the outer cover layer may give the golf ball a good feel during short shots and putting. The inner cover layer may have a first flexural modulus and the outer cover layer may have a second flexural modulus. The first flexural modulus may be at least about 10 times greater than the second flexural modulus. The inner core layer may have a third flexural modulus. The third flexural modulus may be at least about 5 times greater than the second flexural modulus.
