Abstract
A golf ball includes a core, a mid layer, and a cover. The core includes an inner core, a mid core, and an outer core. The mid layer includes an inner mid layer and an outer mid layer. A hardness H(C) is equal to or greater than a hardness H(B). A hardness H(E) is equal to or greater than a hardness H(D). An angle α is calculated by (Formula 1). An angle β is calculated by (Formula 2). The angle α is 0° or greater. A difference (α−β) is 0° or greater. A hardness Hm2 of the outer mid layer is less than a hardness Hm1 of the inner mid layer. A hardness Hc of the cover is less than the hardness Hm2.α=(180°/π)*tan [{()−()}/  (Formula 1)β=(180°/π)*tan [{()−()}/  (Formula 2)
