Abstract:
In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a rubber two-layer core consisting of an inner layer and an outer layer, a cover, and at least one intermediate layer therebetween, the inner core layer has a diameter of at least 22 mm, the difference in JIS-C hardness between the center of the inner core layer and the surface of the outer core layer is at least 25, the ball satisfies the relationship A/B≤2.0, where A and B are the deflections of, respectively, the inner core layer and the two-layer core when compressed under specific loading conditions, and the intermediate layer has a higher material hardness than the cover, and the core hardness profile are optimized by the specific conditions. This ball enables mid- to high-level golfers both to achieve even longer distances and to maintain the spin performance on approach shots at a high level.

Claim (Index 8):
The golf ball of  claim 1  which satisfies the condition:\n PS 2 /S/H\u00d7 100\u22651.70(mm \u22121 ),\u2003\u2003(x) \n where PS 2  is the pressed area (mm 2 ), defined as the area of the golf ball that comes into contact with a flat surface, when the ball is subjected to a load of 1,961 N (200 kgf), S is the hypothetical planar area (mm 2 ), defined as the surface area of a cross-sectional circle along the ball diameter were the surface of the ball to be entirely free of dimples, and H is the deflection (mm) of the ball when compressed under a final load of 1,275 N (130 kgf) from an initial load of 98 N (10 kgf).
