Golfball

摘要

A golf ball (100) having dimples (72, 76) covering its surface and having four great circular paths (104, 106, 110, 112) on the surface of the golf ball (100) where none of the paths intersect a dimple (72, 76) is disclosed. The four great circular paths (104, 106, 110, 112) are obtained by laying out an octahedron on the surface of the golf ball (100) and connecting the midpoint of each edge of the octahedron to form eight equilateral triangles (116) and six squares (119). The dimples (72, 76) are arranged by filling each triangle (116) and square (119) with dimples (72, 78). Golf balls having four great circular paths (104, 106, 110, 112) and 456, 408 and 432 dimples (72, 76) are disclosed.
