Abstract
A cover of a golf ball is prepared to have Shore D hardness in a range of 50 to 65 and flexural modulus in a range of 98 to 196 MPa and 10% modulus of paint applied onto the cover surface is accordingly adjusted in a range of 0.49 to 4.9 MPa. The golf ball thus produced maintains flight characteristics and shot feel for a round of golf while having improved resistance to wear and burr.
