ABSTRACT:
A dimple configuration for the surface of a golf ball is provided by selecting a fixed number of dimples, placing said dimples on a model of the ball in random, helter-skelter locations on one selected section without regard to the other dimples present, and identifying each dimple and the adjacent dimples which overlap it. For each dimple so identified, the aggregate component of overlap in the longitudinal and latitudinal directions is determined, the center of each dimple is relocated so as to minimize overlap, and the steps of identifying, determining, and relocating are repeated for each dimple until the aggregate overlap is reduced to a predetermined amount. The resultant ball provides a random dimple configuration which has no repeating patterns within the sections.
