                       the inner cover layer comprises an ionomer resin and the outer cover layer                                    
                       comprises a polyurethane and wherein outer cover layer has a Shore D hardness                                 
                       of about 58 or more;                                                                                          
                               the ball having a PGA compression of 80 or less and a coefficient of                                  
                       restitution of at least 0.780.                                                                                


                       Yamagishi's invention relates to a multi-piece solid golf ball which is improved in                           
               flying distance, controllability, roll and straight travel upon putting as well as restitution                        
               and durability.  As shown in Figure 1, the multi-piece solid golf ball comprises a solid
