Abstract

See full text

In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a core, a cover and an intermediate layer therebetween, letting Hc be the JIS-C hardness at the core center, H12 be the JIS-C hardness at a position 12 mm from the core center and Ho be the JIS-C hardness at the core surface, the core has a hardness profile which satisfies the conditions 0≦H12−Hc≦15, 15≦Ho−H12≦30, (Ho−H12)−(H12−Hc)≧10 and 20≦Ho−Hc≦40. Also, letting A be the value represented by (Ho−H12)−(H12−Hc), the spin index of the ball, defined as the dynamic coefficient of friction for the ball multiplied by A, is at least 3.0. This golf ball can satisfy at a high level the flight and control performance relied on by professional golfers and skilled amateurs.
