<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a golf ball outstanding in both flying performance and control performance. <P>SOLUTION: This golf ball 1 is provided with a core 2 and a cover 3. The core 2 comprises a center 4 and an intermediate layer 5. A large number of dimples 6 are formed on the surface of the cover 3. A base material polymer of the cover 3 is mainly composed of polyurethane-based thermoplastic elastomer. The Shore D hardness of the cover 3 is 30 to 55, and the surface area occupancy rate Y of the dimples 6 is 75% or more. The ratio R1 of the diameter d<SB>max</SB>of the largest dimple to the diameter D of the golf ball 1 is 11.0 to 18.0%. The ratio R2 of the number of dimples 6 with the diameter d which is 11.0% to 18.0% to the diameter D of the golf ball 1, to the total number N of the dimples is 20% or more. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
