ABSTRACT:
A golf ball having a plurality of dimples on its surface, the dimples as a whole are distributed on at least a portion of the golf ball using principles of electromagnetic theory. The dimples placed on the golf ball surface are assigned charge values that are used to determine the electric potential. A solution method is then applied to minimize the potential by rearrangement of the dimple positions.
