Abstract:
In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a core, an intermediate layer encasing the core and a cover which encases the intermediate layer and has numerous dimples on an outside surface thereof, the intermediate layer is formed of a resin material, the cover is formed of a urethane resin material, the core has a diameter of at least 38.0 mm, the sphere obtained by encasing the core with the intermediate layer has a surface hardness on the Shore D hardness scale of at least 69, the cover has a material hardness on the Shore D hardness scale of 55 or less, the (intermediate layer thickness)/(core diameter) value is from 0.025 to 0.043, the (cover thickness)/(core diameter) value is from 0.014 to 0.027, and the sphere obtained by encasing the core with the intermediate layer has an initial velocity A and the core has an initial velocity B which together satisfy the condition A−B≥0 m/s.

Claim (Index 8):
The multi-piece solid golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein the ball has arranged thereon at least one dimple having the cross-sectional shape specified by steps (i) to (iv) below (dimple having a specific cross-sectional shape):\n (i) letting the foot of a perpendicular drawn from a deepest point of the dimple to an imaginary plane defined by a peripheral edge of the dimple be the dimple center and a straight line that passes through the dimple center and any one dimple edge be the reference line; (ii) dividing a segment of the reference line from the dimple edge to the dimple center into at least 100 points and computing the distance ratio for each point when the distance from the dimple edge to the dimple center is set to 100%; (iii) computing the dimple depth ratio at every 20% from 0 to 100% of the distance from the dimple edge to the dimple center; and (iv) at the depth ratios in dimple regions 20 to 100% of the distance from the dimple edge to the dimple center, determining the change in depth \u0394H every 20% of said distance and designing a dimple cross-sectional shape such that the change \u0394H is at least 6% and not more than 24% in all regions corresponding to from 20 to 100% of said distance.
