Abstract

A golf ball having a core, a cover and at least one intermediate layer therebetween satisfies specific conditions concerning the relative surface hardnesses of the core, the intermediate layer-encased sphere and the ball, and has a specific core hardness profile. Also, the value V/H, where V is the initial velocity of the ball and H is the deflection of the ball under specific loading, is set within a specific range. The ball has a construction which, when used by the ordinary amateur golfer, reduces the spin rate on full shots, enabling good distances to be obtained both on shots with a driver and on shots with an iron. The ball also has a soft yet crisp feel at impact.
