Abstract
A golf ball having a peripheral surface with dimples distributed essentially within a plurality of first identical elemental surfaces in the form of irregular spherical pentagons; a plurality of second identical elemental surfaces in the form of spherical equilateral triangles; and a plurality of third identical elemental surfaces in the form of spherical isosceles triangles, these elemental surfaces being defined by six equatorial circles of the sphere generally defining the peripheral surface of the golf ball. By a judicious choice in the relative positions of the equatorial circles, of the distribution, and of the diameters of the circles of intersection, the orientation of the ball with respect to impact therewith can be rendered relatively irrelevant.
