ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a mold and method for forming a golf ball with at least a core. The mold and method comprise or use members with projections for forming multiple dimples on the core. The members can be retractable pins or sleeves or vent pins. In the case of the retractable pins, sets of pins with multiple dimple projections on the ends thereof are used to center the golf ball core within the mold. The members can have circular or non-circular cross-sections so that the dimple-forming projections can conform to any dimple pattern.
