Still not sure what you’re asking…
All golf balls are hard (as compared to say, footballs or soccer balls).
They most typical golf ball cover materials are Isomere or Ionomer (high-end, 3 piece balls) ,Surlyn (most popular for 2 piece balls), and Urethane.

There are 2 types of covers; Surlyn (think plastic), and Urethane (think rubber). Surlyn balls will go a little further off the tee or fairway, and roll a little more (less friction from air and grass), and last longer (more resistant to cuts). Urethane will stop a little faster (more back spin). Golf ball manufacturers have exotic “blends” of rubber and plastic; they want you to buy their golf balls. That’s because there are about 870,000 golf balls lost every day in the United States! That’s a lot of sales . . . I’ve used many brands- “found” balls are great for this- my ball of choice is Pinnacle Gold Distance, $1.00 each. I play 70-80 rounds of golf a year, and the only noticeable difference in playing a Pinnacle or Nike Distance and ProV1 is . . $3.00 per golf ball.
