Abstract
In a golf ball having a core of one or more layer and a cover of one or more layer encasing the core, the core has a deflection when compressed under a specific load of at least 3.8 mm; at least an innermost portion of the core has a specific difference between maximum and minimum values in cross-sectional hardnesses (JIS-C) from a center to a surface thereof; and the center core is formed of a rubber composition that includes (a) a base rubber, (b) an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or metal salt thereof, (c) a diacyl peroxide and/or a peroxyester, and (d) a dialkyl peroxide and/or a peroxyketal. The golf ball has a low spin rate on driver shots by low head speed golfers, and thus achieves an improved distance, while minimizing any decrease in durability.
