Abstract
In a golf ball, non-circular isodiametrical dimples provide increased efficiency of coverage of the surface of a golf ball (in comparison with the conventional circular dimples). Additionally, the aerodynamic properties of the ball are improved. The dimples have the shape of a regular isodiametrical figure with an odd number of curved sides and arcuate apices. The number of sides of the isodiametrical figure conveniently is from three to nine.
