Claim:
A golf ball comprising a core and a cover having an outside surface on which are formed a plurality of dimples, wherein, letting BV and CV be the initial velocity (m/s) of, respectively, the ball and the core as measured by a method using an initial velocity measuring apparatus of the same type as a USGA drum rotation-type initial velocity instrument and letting BE and CE be the deflection (mm) of, respectively, the ball and the core when compressed under a final load of 1,275 N (130 kgf) from an initial load of 98 N (10 kgf), the ball initial velocity BV is from 70.0 to 76.0 m/s and the ball satisfies formula (I) below: 0â‰¦( CVâˆ’BV )âˆ’( CEâˆ’BE )â‰¦2.
