Multi-piece solid golf ball

A multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a core, an intermediate layer, and a cover, wherein a large number of dimples are formed on an outside surface of the cover, a relationship between a surface hardness of an intermediate layer-encased sphere and a surface hardness of the ball satisfies the following condition:

• Surface hardness of ball>surface hardness of intermediate layer-encased sphere where hardness means Shore C hardness,
• an initial velocity of the ball is from 76.0 to 77.724 m/s, and where a ratio CL1/CD1 of a lift coefficient CL1 at a Reynolds number of 218,000 and a spin rate of 2,800 rpm to a drag coefficient CD1 is denoted by A1, a ratio CL2/CD2 of a lift coefficient CL2 at a Reynolds number of 184,000 and a spin rate of 2,900 rpm to a drag coefficient CD2 is denoted by A2, and a ratio CL3/CD3 of a lift coefficient CL3 at a Reynolds number of 158,000 and a spin rate of 3,100 rpm to a drag coefficient CD3 is denoted by A3, the following two conditions are satisfied:
