Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having the individualized appearance as well as the improved visibility, which the mark should inherently provide, by imparting the luster (brilliance) to the mark, without lowering the durability of the mark, even if the mark is printed with the ink composition which the luster material is blended into. The golf ball of the present invention includes a mark made from an ink composition, wherein the ink composition has a pigment, and a luster material having a core layer with a smooth surface and a metal covering the core layer.
