ABSTRACT:
A practice golf ball having a multiplicity of dimples formed in its surface has a weight of 46.5-49.0 grams and undergoes a distortion of 2.5-4.0 mm under a constant load of 100 kg. A percent dimple volume Vr is in the range of 0.7%.ltoreq.Vr.ltoreq.1.1% wherein the percent dimple volume Vr is the sum of the volumes of the entire dimples divided by the volume of a phantom sphere given on the assumption that the ball surface is free of dimples. The ball offers a good feel upon shots, follows a low trajectory without substantial shortage of a flight distance, and is thus suited for use in urban golf practice pits of limited space.
