ABSTRACT:
A golf ball characterized by enhanced flight distance and enhanced aerodynamic symmetry, the ball having a generally spherical surface with patterns of dimples thereon comprising a ball having a main axis and opposite surface polar regions associated with the axis; there being six geodesic lines defining a spherical hexagon bordering each polar region, the axis being at the center of the hexagons; there being at least three groups of dimples associated with each hexagon, all of the dimples of the groups being completely within the spherical hexagon; the dimples of each group having the same diameter, the dimples of one group having diameters d.sub.1, the dimples of the second group having diameters d.sub.2, and the dimples of the third group having diameters d.sub.3, and; the dimples of each group arranged symmetrically about the axis. The geodesic lines intersect to form six like isosceles spherical triangles respectively adjacent the six sides of each hexagon, and there re additional dimples confined by the triangles, with all dimples confined by each triangle being completely with each triangle. Each geodesic line has a length between its opposite ends which is at least 20% of its surface circumference of the golf ball. The golf ball has an equatorial region everywhere spaced from the spherical hexagons and the dimple density per unit area at the equatorial region is greater than the dimple density per unit area in the spherical hexagons.
