Golf ball aerodynamic configuration

摘要

The present invention relates to golf balls, specifically to a golf ball comprising an aerodynamic pattern having novel shaped dimple structures which reduce the variation in airflow turning angle thereby improving the golf ball's flight performance. The dimple structures have a conical shaped base with a dimple in the center and reduced or no flat land areas between the dimples.

主权项

1. A golf ball having an outer surface, the outer surface comprising a plurality of dimple structures, each dimple structure having an annular conical shaped base having a center with a dimple formed therein wherein the annular conical shaped base is non-polygonal, wherein the outer surface of the golf ball comprises from 90 to 400 dimple structures and further comprising at least one valley formed by the conical shaped bases of adjacent dimples.
