Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having excellent spin performance on approach shots under a dry condition and excellent spin performance on approach shots under the condition that there is grass between the golf ball and the club face. The present invention provides golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein the paint film has a multi-layered construction composed of two or more layers, a ratio (M1/E1) of a 10% elastic modulus (kgf/cm) (M1) of an innermost layer of the paint film to a maximum elongation (%) (E1) of the innermost layer of the paint film is 10 or more and 50 or less, and the ratio (M1/E1) of the innermost layer of the paint film is greater than a ratio (M2/E2) of a 10% elastic modulus (kgf/cm) (M2) of an outermost layer of the paint film to a maximum elongation (%) (E2) of the outermost layer of the paint film.
