Golf ball

A method for producing a golf ball, the method comprising the steps of:

• placing a core into a mold having a plurality of support pins and having a cavity face including a plurality of pimples;
• holding the core in a cavity of the mold by the support pins;
• injecting a melted resin composition into a space between the cavity face and the core;
• and
• solidifying the resin composition to form a cover and form a plurality of dimples having a shape that is an inverted shape of the pimples, wherein
• a ratio (V/S) of a volume V (mm3) of the cover to an amount of compressive deformation S (mm) of the core is not less than 1000 and not greater than 1900,
• the cover has a shore D hardness of not greater than 62,
• a total volume W of the dimples is not less than 490 mm3 and not greater than 620 mm3, and
• a ratio (α/P) of a latitude α (degree) of each support pin to a total cross-sectional area P (mm2) of the support pins is not less than 0.35 and not greater than 0.60.
