Golf ball

A golf ball comprising a spherical core and a cover positioned outside the spherical core, wherein

• the spherical core includes an inner layer and an outer layer,
• a difference (HX+1−HX−1) between a hardness (HX+1) at a point outwardly away in a radial direction from a boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer of the spherical core by 1 mm and a hardness (HX−1) at a point inwardly away in the radial direction from the boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer of the spherical core by 1 mm is 0 or more in Shore C hardness,
• a surface hardness (HX+Y) of the spherical core is more than 65 in Shore C hardness,
• an angle α of a hardness gradient of the inner layer calculated by a formula (1) is 0° or more,
• a difference (α−β) between the angle α and an angle β of a hardness gradient of the outer layer calculated by a formula (2) is 0° or more,
• a thickness of the cover is 3 mm or less,
• a difference (Hc−Hx+y) between a hardness (Hc) of the cover and the surface hardness (HX+Y) of the spherical core is 2 or more in Shore C hardness, and
• the cover has a highest hardness among the constituent members of the golf ball,
• α=(180/π)×a tan [{Hx−1−Ho}/(X−1)] (1)
• β=(180/π)×a tan [{HX+Y−Hx+1}/(Y−1)] (2)
• where X represents a radius (mm) of the inner layer, Y represents a thickness (mm) of the outer layer, Ho represents a center hardness (Shore C) of the spherical core, HX−1 represents the hardness (Shore C) at the point inwardly away in the radial direction from the boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer of the spherical core by 1 mm, HX+1 represents the hardness (Shore C) at the point outwardly away in the radial direction from the boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer of the spherical core by 1 mm, and HX+Y represents the surface hardness (Shore C) of the spherical core.
