Graduated Core

One continuous core engineered to manage impact variability.

Traditional dual-core designs rely on separate layers that must be aligned and molded. Trust’s Graduated Core is engineered as one continuous core with a gradual hardness transition from the center outward—delivering efficient energy transfer, stable flight, and an exceptionally soft feel.

The Problem with Multi-Layer Golf Balls

Why Traditional Dual-Core is Inconsistent?

For years, premium golf balls tuned compression and feel by stacking layers: a softer inner core plus a firmer outer core or mantle. While effective, this approach increases manufacturing complexity and introduces performance risk.

More layers require more alignment and molding steps
Chance of eccentricity or off-center core
Greater difficulty maintaining consistent quality and performance

Off-center issues found in many multi-layer golf balls would greatly affect performance and consistency on each shot. The more extreme the off-center issue is, the higher golf ball dispersion going to be.

A Single Core That Transitions from Soft to Firm

Trust's Graduated Core

Our Graduated Core is built around one unified core structure that gradually becomes firmer from the center toward the outer edge. There’s no abrupt boundary between separate parts—just a smooth progression engineered into the core itself.

Efficient Energy Flow

The soft inner center core helps deliver a responsive, gentle feel at impact. As hardness increases toward the outside, the firmer outer region stabilizes the structure and helps transfer energy efficiently into the ball.

This core design supports longer flight and consistent ball speed.
