PURPOSE: To enable a golfer to obtain a sufficient carry in the case of a shot with a driver, etc., by specifying the weight and outside diameter of a golf ball, the occupying rate of dimples on a ball surface and the value obtd. by dividing the dimple space volume under the plane enclosed by the edges of the respective dimples by specific cylindrical volume to specific values. CONSTITUTION: A virtual spherical surface 2 of a ball diameter is set on the dimple 1 and a spherical surface 3 of a diameter smaller by 0.16mm than the ball diameter is set. The stretch of the intersected points 6 of the tangent 5 and the virtual spherical surface 2 at the intersected point 4 of the circumference of the spherical surface 3 and the dimple 1 is determined as the edge 7 of the dimple. The volume VP of the dimple space 9 under the plane 8 enclosed by the edge 7 is determined. The volume VQ of the cylinder 10 having the plane 8 as its base and the max. depth Dp of the dimple from the plane 8 as its height is determined. The ratio VO of the space volume VP of the dimple to the cylinder volume VQ is specified to 0.35 to 0.60. The weight of the golf ball is specified to 40 to 45g, the outside diameter to 43 to 47mm and the occupying rate of the dimples on the ball surface is specified to >=60%.
