The object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having the
individualized appearance as well as the improved visibility, which the
mark should inherently provide, by imparting the luster (brilliance) to
the mark, without lowering the durability of the mark, even if the mark
is printed with the ink composition which the luster material is blended
into. The golf ball of the present invention includes a mark made from an
ink composition, wherein the ink composition has a pigment, and a luster
material having a core layer with a smooth surface and a metal covering
the core layer.
