Abstract

A golf ball (1) comprises a core (3) and a cover (5). The core (3) has a six-layer structure having first to sixth layers (7) to (17). A value of (T1/T2) is greater than 2.10 and is equal to or smaller than 2.50, wherein time series data on force in a z direction which is applied to a load cell provided on a back face of a collision plate inclined by 22 degrees with respect to a horizontal direction when the golf ball (1) impacts the collision plate at a speed of 35 m/s in a vertically upward direction are represented by Fn(t), time series data on force in an x direction are represented by Ft(t), a time taken after a start of the impact before the Fn(t) is first changed from a positive number to zero is represented by T1 and a time taken after the start of the impact before the Ft(t) is first changed from a positive number to a negative number is represented by T2. The golf ball (1) has a higher back spin rate during hitting on the same conditions than that of a conventional golf ball.
