Abstract:
In a golf ball having a two-layer core consisting of an inner core layer and an outer core layer, one or more intermediate layer, and a cover serving as an outermost layer, the inner core layer and outer core layer are each formed primarily of a base rubber, the inner core layer has a diameter of at least 21 mm, the intermediate layer and the cover are each formed primarily of a resin material, and the overall core has a specific hardness profile. The golf ball has a high initial velocity while holding down the spin rate on full shots with a driver or long iron, thus enabling a good distance to be achieved. The ball also has a high controllability in the short game.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a two-layer core consisting of an inner core layer and an outer core layer, one or more intermediate layer, and a cover serving as an outermost layer, wherein the inner core layer and the outer core layer are each formed primarily of a base rubber, the inner core layer has a diameter of at least 21 mm, the intermediate layer and the cover are each formed primarily of a resin material, and the overall core consisting of the two core layers has a hardness profile that, letting Cc be the JIS-C hardness at a center of the inner core layer, C10 be the JIS-C hardness at a position 10 mm from the center of the inner core layer, Css be the JIS-C hardness at a surface of the outer core layer and Css-5 be the JIS-C hardness at a position 5 mm inside the outer core layer surface, satisfies conditions (1) and (2) below:\n {( Css )\u2212( Css -5)}\u2212{( C 10)\u2212( Cc )}>0, and \u2003\u2003(1) ( Css )\u2212( Cc )\u226527. \u2003\u2003(2)
