Abstract

In a golf ball having a multiplicity of dimples of circular plane shape disposed at a spacing on its surface, dimple spacings of up to 1.65 mm account for 60 to 80% of the entire dimple spacings, and an average V.sub.0 and A, defined in the specification, are limited. The shape and arrangement of dimples are correlated so that dimples may be distributed on the ball surface in a well-balanced uniform arrangement, whereby the flight behavior is drastically improved.
