    Abstract: Golf balls having core layers with individual hardness gradients are provided. The cores have at least one layer with an increased “positive” hardness gradient (or a “hard-to-soft” hardness) where the outer surface of the core is harder than the center. The increased positive hardness gradient can be achieved by introducing a water-releasing agent into the core rubber formulation during the curing process. The cores may also have a “zero” hardness gradient in another layer. By utilizing different hardness gradients in the core layers, the present disclosure allows for the properties of the final golf ball to be manipulated to produce desired performance characteristics.
