Abstract:
In a multi-piece solid golf ball made up of, successively, a core, an intermediate layer and a cover having numerous dimples on the surface thereof, the intermediate layer is formed of a resin material and the cover is formed of a urethane resin material, each having a specific respective Shore D hardness. The ball has a specific (intermediate layer thickness)/(core diameter) value and a specific (cover thickness)/(core diameter) value, and the core has a specific deflection. The sphere consisting of the core encased by 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. This golf ball provides an increased distance and has both a soft feel when played and a high durability to repeated impact.

Claim (Index 10):
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:\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 point on the edge of the dimple 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.
