Abstract

Golf ball 2 has spherical core 4 , and cover 6 provided so as to cover this core 4 . The core 4 has spherical center 8 , and mid layer 10 provided so as to cover this center 8. The resilience coefficient Ec of the center 8 , the resilience coefficient Em of the core 4 , and the resilience coefficient Eb of the golf ball 2 satisfy the following formulae (1) and (2): Eb≧Ec≧Em   (1); Eb−Ec≧Ec−Em   (2). The difference (Eb−Ec) between the resilience coefficient Eb and the resilience coefficient Ec is equal to or greater than 0.004. The difference (Ec−Em) between the resilience coefficient Ec and the resilience coefficient Em is equal to or greater than 0.004.

Claims (9)
