ABSTRACT:
A golf ball (20) having a plurality of standard dimples (33) and a plurality of covered dimples (31) is disclosed herein. Each of the plurality of covered dimples (31) has at least one overhang land area portion (50) that covers a portion of a concavity (55) of the covered dimple (31). A covered region (70) under the overhang land area portion (50) generates eddy currents during the flight of the golf ball (20) which creates greater turbulence at the surface (22) of the golf ball (20) allowing for greater distance.
