Abstract

A golf ball (2) includes a core (4) and a cover (6). A value V calculated by the following mathematical formula is equal to or less than 1080 Hz.
V = NF(2)2 - 2/3 *NF(2)1
In the mathematical formula, NF(2)1 represents a secondary natural frequency of the core (4), and NF(2)2 represents a secondary natural frequency of the golf ball (2). A difference (H1s-H1o) between a Shore C hardness (H1s) at a surface of the core (4) and a Shore C hardness (H1o) at a central point of the core (4) is equal to or greater than 10. An amount of compressive deformation (Df1) of the core (4) is equal to or greater than 4,1 mm.
