A golf ball which includes a core, a cover having Shore D hardness of equal to or greater than 58, and numerous dimples formed on the surface of said cover, wherein a proportion R1 of number of dimples having a ratio (B/T), which is a ratio of a height B of a bottom of the dimple to a nominal thickness T of the cover, of equal to or less than 0.80 occupied in total number of the dimples is equal to or greater than 10%.
1. A golf ball which comprises a core, a cover having Shore D hardness of equal to or greater than 58, and numerous dimples formed on the surface of said cover,
wherein a proportion R 1 of the number of dimples having a ratio (B/T), which is a ratio of a height B of a bottom of the dimple to a nominal thickness T of the cover, of equal to or less than 0.80 occupied in total number of the dimples is equal to or greater than 10%, and a proportion R 2 of the number of dimples having said ratio (B/T) of less than 0.40 occupied in total number of the dimples is equal to or less than 10%.
2. The golf ball according to claim 1 wherein a mean value of the ratio (B/T) for all the dimples is equal to or less than 0.86.
3. The golf ball according to claim 1 wherein said core comprises a center and a mid layer, and when the Shore D hardness of the mid layer is referred to as Hm and Shore D hardness of the cover is referred to as Hc, the value (Hc-Hm) is equal to or greater than 3.
4. The golf ball according to claim 3 wherein Shore D hardness of the mid layer is equal to or less than 60.
