Abstract
The present invention provides a three-piece solid golf ball having a core molded under heat from a specific rubber composition and inner and outer cover layers encasing the core. By optimizing the core deflection under a specific load and the overall thickness of the cover layers, by forming the inner cover layer of a highly neutralized ionomer resin composition, and by optimizing within specific ranges the Shore D hardnesses of the inner cover layer and the outer cover layer, the spin rate of the ball on shots with a driver can be sufficiently reduced, enabling an increased distance to be achieved.
