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.

A golf ball comprising:
- a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of polygonal dimples formed thereon, said dimples are arranged in dicernable groupings such that the sides of adjacent dimples are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the outer surface comprises first inter-dimple spacings and second inter-sectional spacings between adjacent dimples, the inter-sectional spacings defining the discernable groupings, wherein the first spacings and the second spacings have substantially constant width between any two adjacent dimples and wherein the width of the first spacings is different than the width of the second spacings
- wherein the inter-dimple spacings vary within at least one discernable grouping.
A golf ball comprising a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of polygonal dimples formed thereon, said dimples are arranged in dicernable groupings such that the sides of adjacent dimples are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the outer surface comprises first inter-dimple spacings and second inter-sectional spacings between adjacent dimples, the inter-sectional spacings defining the discernable groupings, wherein the first spacings and the second spacings have substantially constant width between any two adjacent dimples and wherein the width of the first spacings is different than the width of the second spacings, wherein the inter-sectional spacings form a linear pattern on the outer surface of the ball comprising an equatorial pattern and wherein the linear pattern further comprises a pattern orthogonal to the equatorial pattern.
A golf ball comprising a substantially spherical outer surface and a plurality of polygonal dimples formed thereon, said dimples are arranged in dicernable groupings such that the sides of adjacent dimples are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the outer surface comprises first inter-dimple spacings and second inter-sectional spacings between adjacent dimples, the inter-sectional spacings defining the discernable groupings, wherein the first spacings and the second spacings have substantially constant width between any two adjacent dimples and wherein the width of the first spacings is different than the width of the second spacings, wherein the inter-dimple spacings have a width of substantially zero.
