A multi-piece solid golf ball has a core, an intermediate layer encasing the core, and a cover layer which encases the intermediate layer and has a plurality of dimples on an outer surface thereof. The intermediate layer is formed primarily of a material which includes specific amounts of a fatty acid and/or fatty acid derivative having a molecular weight of from 228 to 1500 and a basic inorganic metal compound capable of neutralizing un-neutralized acid groups per 100 parts by weight of a resin component composed primarily of a specific olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer, and in which at least 82 mol % of acid groups in the above components are neutralized. The cover layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin composed primarily of an ionomer resin, and has a Shore D hardness of from 50 to 85. This invention makes it possible to achieve both an increased distance owing to a reduced spin rate, and also an improved durability. |
