    Abstract: Golf balls having a multi-layered core made of a foamed composition are provided. The core assembly preferably includes a foam inner core (center) and surrounding outer core layer. Preferably, a viscoelastic polyurethane foam composition is used to form the inner core. The foam composition has shape-memory properties. The core has good durability and thermal stability. In other instances, the viscoelastic polyurethane foam composition can be used to make the outer core layer. The core layers can have different hardness gradients and specific gravity values. The ball further includes a cover that can be multi-layered.

    Abstract: Golf ball incorporating core consisting of: a solid inner core layer consisting of a peroxide cured polybutadiene rubber composition and having a diameter of 1.25 inches or less and a center Shore C hardness (HCenter) of 50 or less; and an outer core layer consisting of a thermoplastic composition Tc as defined herein and having a thickness of 0.400 inches or greater and an outer surface Shore C hardness (Houter surface) of 70 or greater, wherein Houter surface>Hcenter, and Houter surface−Hcenter≧40. The peroxide cured polybutadiene rubber composition may comprise a reaction product of polybutadiene and a sufficient amount of peroxide to form the solid inner layer having the center Shore C hardness (Hcenter) of 50 or less. In one embodiment, 100 phr polybutadiene and from about 0.05 phr to about 3.0 phr of peroxide are mixed with at least one of 5 phr or less of a metal oxide; 5 phr or less of a metal coagent; or 5 phr or less of a metal carbonate. Alternatively, the solid inner core layer has a diameter of 1.10 inches or less or less than 1.0 inches.
