A golf ball including a core including a halogenated thiophenol and having a diameter of from about 1.3 inches to about 1.4 inches, a compression of about 44 or less; and a coefficient of restitution of from about 0.770 to about 0.810; a cast polyurethane or polyurea cover; and an intermediate layer disposed between the core and the cover, the intermediate layer having a thickness of from about 0.11 inches to about 0.12 inches and being formed from a composition including at least two ionomers; wherein a combination of the core and the intermediate layer results in a compression of from about 70 to about 100, and the golf ball has a coefficient of restitution of from about 0.805 to about 0.820 at about 125 ft/s and a compression of from about 75 to about 105.
