Abstract
A multi-piece golf ball has a core (), an interlayer (), and a cover (), the core () being provided with a spherical main part () and a plurality of ribs () formed on the main part (), the interlayer () being accommodated in depressions () surrounded by the ribs () and having a thickness substantially the same as the height of the ribs (), each of the ribs () extending in such a manner that the width thereof becomes greater from the cover towards the core, each of the depressions () being formed into a cone-like shape by side faces of the ribs (), and the hardness of the interlayer () being less than that of the core (). This structure achieves satisfactory soft feeling and high bounce resilience.
