    Abstract: A golf ball having a single-layer rubber core, a single-layer resin cover and one intermediate layer therebetween satisfies the following conditions:


    (Shore C hardness at surface of intermediate layer-encased sphere)>(Shore C hardness at ball surface),



    14≤(Atti compression of core)≤38,



    (Atti compression of core)/(Shore C hardness at core surface−Shore C hardness at core center)≤1.1, and



    600≤(Shore C hardness at surface of intermediate layer-encased sphere)×(specific gravity of intermediate layer material)×[volume (cm3) of intermediate layer material].

    This ball has a superior distance performance on full shots with an iron and a high spin performance in the short game, imparts a very soft feel and possesses an excellent durability to cracking on repeated impact. The ball is intended to satisfy the needs of primarily skilled amateur golfers who handle iron shots skillfully.

    Abstract: In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a core, an envelope layer, an intermediate layer and a cover, the core is formed of one or more layer of a rubber composition; the envelope layer, intermediate layer and cover are each formed of a single layer of resin material; the hardness relationship among the layers satisfies the following two conditions:


    material hardness of cover>material hardness of intermediate layer, and



    material hardness of envelope layer≥surface hardness of core;

    the ball additionally satisfies the condition:



    envelope layer thickness (mm)×envelope layer material hardness (Shore D hardness) cover thickness (mm)×cover material hardness (Shore D hardness); and the core and ball have optimized deflections when subjected to a specific loading. This ball serves as a distance ball which enables a superior distance to be achieved on full shots with a driver and with irons.

    Abstract: In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a core, envelope layer, intermediate layer and cover, the core is formed primarily of a base rubber, the core has a diameter of at least 30 mm, the envelope layer is formed as two layers—an inner layer and an outer layer, and the intermediate layer and the cover are each formed as single layers of a resin material. The core and the respective layer-encased spheres have surface hardnesses which satisfy specific relationships, the Shore C hardness value obtained by subtracting the core center hardness from the core surface hardness is 16 or more, and certain layers have respective thicknesses which satisfy specific conditions. This ball achieves a good distance on full shots both with a driver and with irons, is superior in the short game, and moreover has a good feel at impact and an excellent scuff resistance.

    Abstract: A golf ball for amateur golfers is endowed with an excellent flight and a good feel at impact that is soft yet solid when hit by a golfer whose head speed is not very high. The ball, which includes a core and a cover, has a compressive deformation B when subjected to a final load of 30 kgf from an initial load state of 5 kgf that is from 0.72 to 0.97 mm and a compressive deformation C when subjected to a final load of 60 kgf from an initial load state of 5 kgf that is from 1.55 to 1.85 mm. In addition, the core has a hardness profile which satisfies specific conditions.

    Abstract: In a multi-piece solid golf ball having a core, an envelope layer, an intermediate layer and a cover, the core, an intermediate layer-encased sphere and the ball have surface hardnesses which satisfy a specific relationship, and the envelope layer, the intermediate layer and the cover have thicknesses which satisfy a specific relationship. Also, the core has a hardness profile in which the hardnesses at the core surface, core center, a position 5 mm from the core center, and a position midway between the surface and center of the core satisfy specific relationships. This golf ball, when used by mid- and high-level amateurs, enables the golfer to maintain an adequate distance on shots with a driver and achieve a good distance on iron shots, has a good spin performance on approach shots and has a good feel on impact. In addition, the ball has an excellent scuff resistance when struck with a grooved wedge.
