Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having good spin performance on approach shots and good shot feeling as well as excellent stain resistance by precisely controlling physical properties of a paint film actually formed on a surface of a golf ball body. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising a golf ball body and a paint film formed on a surface of the golf ball body, wherein the paint film is such that a linear approximation curve obtained by a least square method has a slope in a range from 0.0015 to 0.0045 when a storage modulus (GPa) thereof measured by a nanoindentation method is plotted as a vertical axis against a measuring frequency (Hz) as a horizontal axis, and that an elastic modulus thereof measured by a nanoindentation method ranges from 0.040 GPa to 0.600 GPa.

Abstract: A golf ball 2 includes a main body 4 and a paint film 6. The paint film 6 includes an inner layer 14 and an outer layer 16. A modulus Min of the inner layer 14 is higher than a modulus Mout of the outer layer 16. A difference (Min−Mout) is not less than 25 kgf/cm2. The golf ball 2 has a plurality of dimples 18. A ratio So of a sum of areas of the dimples 18 relative to a surface area of a phantom sphere of the golf ball 2 and a ratio Rs of a number of the dimples 18 each having a diameter of not less than 9.60% and not greater than 10.37% of a diameter of the golf ball 2, relative to a total number of the dimples 18, satisfy the following mathematical formula (1). Rs≥−2.5*So+273 (1)

Abstract: A golf ball 2 includes a core 4, a mid layer 6, and a cover 8. A difference DH in hardness between a surface and a central point of the core 4, a thickness Tm and a hardness Hm of the mid layer 6, a thickness Tc and a hardness Hc of the cover 8, and an amount of compressive deformation Sb of the golf ball 2 meet the following mathematical formulas (DH*Hm)/(Hc*Tc)>80 and ((Sb*Tc)/(Hc*Hm*Tm))*1000>0.75. A hardness Hc of the cover 8 is equal to or less than 40. A material of the cover 8 is a resin composition. The resin composition includes a polyurethane (A) and a polyrotaxane (B).
