Multi-piece golf balls having at least one layer made from a polyamide non-ionomeric composition are provided. The polyamide composition consists essentially of about 40 to about 99% by weight polyamide; about 1 to about 60% by weight of an acid anhydride-modified polyolefin; and about 1 to about 60% of a fatty acid additive selected from the group consisting of fatty acid salts, fatty acid amides, and mixtures thereof. The ball includes a core, preferably a dual core construction; and a cover of at least one layer. In another preferred construction, a multi-layered core containing an inner, intermediate, and outer core layer is made. For example, the intermediate core layer may be made of a rubber composition; and each of the inner core and outer core layers may be made of the polyamide composition. The resulting ball has high resiliency along with a soft feel.

A golf ball with improved durability is disclosed herein. The golf ball has a core comprising a polybutadiene material and methyl methacrylate, butadiene, styrene (MBS) with a weight percentage of MBS ranging from 0.5 to 5 weight percent of the core.

A golf ball having contact time, CT.sub.143 of greater than or equal to about 400 microsecs, a Coefficient of Restitution, COR.sub.143 of greater than or equal to about 0.720, a TD5, TD6, or TD7 of from about 310 to about 320 yards when measured under each respective Test Condition, and a TD2 vs. Headspeed ratio of greater than about 2.3 when measured under Test Condition 2.

A golf ball is disclosed herein that includes a core comprised of two distinct layers. A first core layer is formed from three-dimensional printing and has a non-spherical profile. A second core layer is formed from traditional core layer formation techniques around the first core layer. The first core layer can have a profile that is comprised of a central hub, which can be spherical or non-spherical, and a plurality of spokes extending therefrom. The spokes can have an elongated shape and can have a length greater than a diameter of the hub. The spokes can further include branches extending therefrom.
