ABSTRACT:
A finished, painted golf ball is disclosed. Dimples on the golf ball are interrelated by dimple number, dimple diameter and dimple depth and are arranged on the surface of the golf ball in a manner which enables the golf ball to travel further. At least about 80% of the distances between the closest points of the edges of adjacent dimples are less than about 0.065 inches and at least about 55% of the distances between the closest points of the edges of adjacent dimples are greater than about 0.001 inches.
Dimple number, dimple diameter and dimple depth are also interrelated in a specific manner according to the formula: ##EQU1## wherein: d=average depth of all dimples in inches
