Golf ball

A golf ball having a plurality of recessed dimples which in plan view have a circular shape, wherein the value of V.sub.0 of said dimples ranges from 0.35 to 0.43, wherein V.sub.0 is determined by the method comprising the steps of:

• drawing an imaginary spherical face 2 of the diameter of the ball above a dimple 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6;
• drawing another spherical face 3 having a smaller diameter by 0.16 mm then the ball diameter;
• determining cross points 4 between the spherical face 3 and the dimple 1;
• drawing a line of cross points 6 between tangential lines 5 at the cross points 4 and the imaginary spherical face 2 to define a define a dimple edge 7;
• calculating a first volume V.sub.1 of a dimple space 9 below a plane 8 defined by the dimple edge 7 by the following equation:
• ##STR1## calculating a volume V.sub.2 of a cylinder 10 wherein the bottom thereof is defined by the plane 8 and the height is defined by the maximum dimple depth Dp from the plane 8 by the following equation:
• ##EQU3## and calculating V.sub.0 by the following equation:
• V.sub.0 =V.sub.1 /V.sub.2,
• said dimples representing at least 90% of the total number of dimples on said golf ball.
