Abstract
In a golf ball comprising an elastic solid core, a mantle layer, and a resin cover having a plurality of dimples, the difference in Shore D hardness between the cover and the mantle layer is at most 10, and the dimples have a total volume of 280–350 mm. This combination of features provides the golf ball with an excellent balance of rebound, spin and feel, and an outstanding total distance.
