Claim:
1. A golf ball having a large number of dimples on a surface thereof, wherein each dimple has a contour shape that is non-circular, each dimple has a radius variation range Rh that is equal to or greater than 0.4 mm, if a trajectory is calculated under conditions that include a ball initial speed of 57.4 m/s, a launch angle of 13.3°, and an initial backspin rate of 2450 rpm by a program created according to a manual provided by the USGA using a drag coefficient CD and a lift coefficient CL obtained through an ITR, and the trajectory is divided into a first segment from a launch point to a midpoint between the launch point and a top, a second segment from the midpoint between the launch point and the top to the top, a third segment from the top to a midpoint between the top and a landing point, and a fourth segment from the midpoint between the top and the landing point to the landing point, the first segment has an average CD1 of drag coefficients CD that is equal to or less than 0.225, the first segment has an average CL1 of lift coefficients CL that is equal to or less than 0.180, the second segment has an average CD2 of drag coefficients CD that is equal to or less than 0.250, the second segment has an average CL2 of lift coefficients CL that is equal to or less than 0.220, the third segment has an average CD3 of drag coefficients CD that is equal to or greater than 0.260, the third segment has an average CL3 of lift coefficients CL that is equal to or greater than 0.220, the fourth segment has an average CD4 of drag coefficients CD that is equal to or greater than 0.250, and the fourth segment has an average CL4 of lift coefficients CL that is equal to or greater than 0.200.
