Abstract: A golf ball dimple pattern is disclosed herein that includes dimples having a variety of dimple diameters dispersed amongst two domains, which are tiled onto the outer surface of the golf ball.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for arranging dimples on a golf ball surface in which the dimples are arranged in a pattern derived from at least one irregular domain generated from a regular or non-regular polyhedron. The method includes choosing control points of a polyhedron, generating an irregular domain based on those control points, packing the irregular domain with dimples, and tessellating the irregular domain to cover the surface of the golf ball. The control points include the center of a polyhedral face, a vertex of the polyhedron, a midpoint or other point on an edge of the polyhedron and others. The method ensures that the symmetry of the underlying polyhedron is preserved while minimizing or eliminating great circles due to parting lines.

Abstract: A golf ball has a generally spherical surface and a plurality of dimples separated by a land area formed on the surface. The plurality of dimples includes a plurality of non-spherical dimples each having a non-axially symmetric plan shape, a varying edge angle, and a geometric centroid of the non-axially symmetric plan shape (GC). Each dimple cross-section of each non-spherical dimple consists of two arcs, each arc extending from a defined point of maximum dimple depth to a point at the land area of the golf ball. Each non-spherical dimple is oriented at an orientation angle, ?, relative to a reference line. The orientation angle ? is dependent on the position of the GC on the surface of the golf ball.
