The present invention provides a golf ball which provides a longer ball
distance and excellent abrasion resistance while maintaining a soft shot
feeling. The golf ball includes a core, and an outer layer wrapping the
core, wherein the outer layer is made of a resin composition containing
cation-treated phillosilicate. In particular, by use of a resin
composition containing the cation-treated phillosilicate for a cover
layer, the resultant golf ball exhibits excellent flight performance and
abrasion resistance.
