Golf ball with varying land surfaces

Abstract

A golf ball comprising a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of polygonal dimples formed thereon is provided. The dimples are arranged such that the sides of adjacent dimples are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the outer surface comprises first spacings and second spacings between adjacent dimples. The first spacings and the second spacings have substantially constant width between any two adjacent dimples and the width of the first spacings is different than the width of the second spacings. The plurality of polygonal dimples is arranged in a plurality of identifiable sections and the first spacings comprise inter-dimple spacings between dimples within one identifiable section and the second spacings comprise inter-sectional spacings between identifiable sections of dimples. Another golf ball comprising a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of partially circular dimples formed thereon is also provided. Each of the partially circular dimples comprises a linear side and the dimples are arranged such that the linear sides of opposite partially circular dimples are substantially parallel to each other. The linear sides of any two opposite partially circular dimples form spacing on the outer surface of the ball.
