Abstract

Disclosed is a golf ball including: a plurality of dimples arranged overall on the spherical surface of the golf ball by assuming the spherical surface of the golf ball as a spherical octahedron and using, as dimple arrangement units, eight spherical triangles constituting the spherical octahedron, on each of which a specific number of the dimples are arranged. In this golf ball, at least the four dimples are arranged on each of three sides of the spherical triangle; there is no great circle with which none of the dimples intersects; and the total number of the dimples is in a range of 380 to 450.
