In order to improve the indifferent character of the orientation of the ball with respect to the strike, the peripheral surface (2) of it has dimples (115,116) essentially distributed inside 48 identical elemental surfaces (113), in the form of spherical right-angle triangles, and 24 identical elemental surfaces (114) in the form of spherical quadrilaterals delimited by 10 equatorial circles (56 to 61, 108 to 111) of the sphere defining the general shape of the peripheral surface (2) of the ball (3).
