ABSTRACT:
A method and mold for making a multi-parting line golf ball by compressing a dimple arrangement about a pre-formed sphere. The mold comprises at least three mold inserts having dimple producing projections on their inner spherical surfaces. Upon the dimples being molded to the pre-formed sphere, the resulting parting lines which are offset to the equator of the sphere, are visually inconspicuous, due to the pre-formed sphere being of a net size and weight very similar to the finished golf ball. The method of the invention allows for dimples to be located at and on the equator of the ball.
