ABSTRACT:
A golf ball is shown with an outer surface that is substantially covered with a plurality of spaced dimples that give the ball a suitable long and predictable flight pattern for wood or iron shots due to imparting an increased lift to the ball when the ball has a backspin. An undimpled patch is formed on the outer surface for use as a smooth putter-contacting surface. The size of the undimpled patch is chosen to achieve the desired putting accuracy objective without detracting from the increased "hang" time of the flight of the ball. The center of the undimpled patch is substantially spaced between about 90.degree. and 100.degree. from the center of the imprint of the brand name of the ball manufacturer, so the ball may be positioned for putting with the brand name indicia located at the top of the ball, and the location of the undimpled patch being easily discernible from above by the golfer as he stands over the ball and prepares to putt.
