A golf ball having dimples covering its surface and having seven great circular paths on the surface of the golf ball where none of the paths intersect a dimple is disclosed. The seven great circular paths are obtained by laying out a cuboctahedron on the surface of the golf ball, dividing each of the six square faces of the cuboctahedron into four isosceles triangles by bisecting each square twice. The dimples are arranged by filling each triangle with dimples. A cuboctahedron is a fourteen-sided figure with eight triangular faces and six square faces. Bisecting the square faces twice provides a total of 32 triangles per cuboctahedron. Golf balls having seven great circular paths and 360, 384 and 408 dimples are disclosed. |
