Abstract
In a golf ball having a parting line formed at the junction between a pair of mold sections and a plurality of dimples some of which lie across the parting line and being free of a great circle which does not intersect with the dimples, the crossing dimples lying across the parting line have a greater edge angle than those dimples of the same diameter as the crossing dimples disposed near the poles. The ball is improved in symmetry in that the flight distance is substantially equal between seam hitting and pole hitting.
