Abstract

Disclosed herein is a golf ball comprising a spherical shell (88, 102) which includes at least an inner first layer (94, 108), a second layer (90, 104), and a third layer (92, 106), the second layer being sandwiched between the first layer (94, 108) and the third layer (92, 106), and a core which substantially fills the spherical shell (88, 102), the core comprising at least one of a liquid, a gel and a melt. The sum of the thickness of the first layer (94, 108), second layer (90, 104) and third layer (92, 106) is 0.10-0.30 inches. The spherical shell (88, 102) as opposed to the core, is primarily responsible for the high initial velocity obtained when the golf ball is struck by a golf club so as to allow the golf ball to be driven long distances both in the air and on the ground when it lands. A method of making the golf ball also is disclosed. The golf ball is particularly well-suited for use by players seeking a long distance ball with a low spin rate.
