ABSTRACT:
A golf ball comprising a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of dimples formed thereon is provided. The dimples include polygonal dimples that are arranged such that the sides of adjacent polygonal dimples are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the land area comprises first spacings and second spacings between adjacent dimples. The first spacings and the second spacings have substantially constant width between any two adjacent dimples and the width of the first spacings is different from the width of the second spacings. Circular dimples and circular land areas may also be included in the dimple pattern. The dimple pattern is easily adjusted to manipulate the aerodynamic efficiency of the golf ball.
