Golf ball with integrally-related alignment features

A golf ball, comprising:

• a spherical surface comprising a base color;
• and
• an alignment aid comprising one or more non-base colors, the alignment aid being completely within a circumferential ring area of the golf ball, the circumferential ring area defined by two circular boundaries that enclose and are parallel to a great circle of the golf ball, wherein a dimension between the two circular boundaries is defined as a width W measured in a width direction, wherein W is 10 mm or less,
• wherein the alignment aid comprises:
• a first alignment feature comprising a plurality of non-base color discontinuous lines having a line width LW in the width direction, wherein LW is approximately 1-3 mm, and wherein:
• each of the discontinuous lines are parallel to or on the path of the great circle such that the plurality of discontinuous lines are all oriented with a target direction perpendicular to the width direction when viewing the golf ball from above,
• each discontinuous line is spaced from at least one other discontinuous line in the width direction by a base color line, and
• each discontinuous line comprises at least one set of spaced end portions with a base color discontinuity therebetween, and
• a second alignment feature comprising a base color directional indicator formed by a grouping of discontinuities in all the discontinuous lines, the directional indicator pointing in the target direction,
• wherein the non-base color discontinuous lines and the base color directional indicator are simultaneously visible to a golfer viewing the golf ball from above and, in combination, orient the golf ball along a path that follows the target direction.
