Abstract

The golf ball 1 includes a surface having multiple dimples thereon. When a lift coefficient measured under conditions with a Reynolds number of 80000 and a spin rate of 2000 rpm is CL1, and when a lift coefficient measured under conditions with a Reynolds number of 70000 and a spin rate of 1900 rpm is CL2, CL1 and CL2 satisfy 0.990≤CL2/CL1.
