Abstract

A golf ball has a thin intermediate layer, within specified thickness and hardness, situated between a ball core and cover layer. The thin intermediate layer provides for a ball having superior ball spin performance without loss of ball speed. Particular compositions for the intermediate layer, along with methods for spray-coating of a ball core and grinding down of a thick intermediate layer that are particularly suited for making this thin intermediate layer, also are disclosed.
