    Abstract: A dimple pattern for a golf ball with a thermoset polyurethane cover is disclosed herein. The dimple pattern has multiple sets of dimples, each set of dimples having a different diameter. A preferred set of dimples is seven different dimples. The dimples may cover as much as eighty-six percent of the surface of the golf ball.
