Abstract
A multi-piece solid golf ball core with inner layer and outer layer, and at least one layer of cover on the core, with an inner layer core diameter of 24 to 40 mm and a center hardness in JIS-C hardness of 40 to 60; a surface hardness in JIS-C hardness of the inner layer core higher than the center hardness by 20 to 40; the outer layer core thickness of 2.0 to 7.0 mm and a surface hardness in JIS-C hardness of 75 to 90; the outermost layer of the cover 1.0 to 2.0 mm thick and a Shore D of 40 to 63; and the golfball satisfies formula: 0≦{T(C−B)−(60−A)}≦10; where: A, B represent inner layer core's center hardness, surface hardness, respectively, JIS-C; C represents surface hardness (JIS-C) of outer layer core; T represents thickness of outer layer core.
Claims3
A multi-piece solid golf ball comprising:
- a core composed of an inner layer core and an outer layer core formed on the inner layer, and
- at least one layer of a cover formed on the core, wherein
- the inner layer core has a diameter of 24 to 40 mm and a center hardness in JIS-C hardness of 40 to 60,
- a surface hardness in JIS-C hardness of the inner layer core higher than the center hardness by 20 to 40,
- the outer layer core having a thickness of 2.0 to 7.0 mm and a surface hardness in JIS-C hardness of 75 to 90, and
- the outermost layer of the cover has a thickness of 1.0 to 2.0 mm and a Shore D of 40 to 63, and
- assuming that the center hardness and surface hardness in JIS-C hardness of the inner layer core are represented as A and B respectively, and the surface hardness in JIS-C hardness and the thickness of the outer layer core are represented as C and T respectively, the golf ball satisfies the following formula:
- 0≦{T(C−B)−(60−A)}≦10;
- and
- the difference between the surface hardness of the outer layer core and the inner hardness at the central point in the thickness of the outer layer core is not more than 2.
