    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for arranging dimples on a golf ball surface in which the dimples are arranged in a pattern derived from at least one irregular domain generated from a regular or non-regular polyhedron. The method includes choosing control points of a polyhedron, generating an irregular domain based on those control points, packing the irregular domain with dimples, and tessellating the irregular domain to cover the surface of the golf ball. The control points include the center of a polyhedral face, a vertex of the polyhedron, a midpoint or other point on an edge of the polyhedron and others. The method ensures that the symmetry of the underlying polyhedron is preserved while minimizing or eliminating great circles due to parting lines.

    Abstract: Golf balls including at least one modified dimple group are disclosed. The modified dimple group comprises one or more modified dimples forming an axially symmetric pattern about a Correction Area Centroid located on an axis of symmetry at a latitude greater than 0°, where 0° represents the hemispherical pole and 90° represents the equator. The modified dimples can be altered, for example, by changing dimple coverage, dimple diameter, dimple depth, dimple edge angle, dimple volume, dimple cross-sectional shape, and/or dimple plan shape. Optionally, the dimples have a catenary cross-sectional shape and the modified dimples are altered by changing the shape factor and/or chord depth. Such modifications preferably produce a golf ball that flies more consistently regardless of orientation when struck than a corresponding golf ball without such modifications.

    Abstract translation: 公开了包括至少一个修改的凹坑组的高尔夫球。 修改的凹坑组包括一个或多个修改的凹坑,其形成关于位于大于0°的纬度的对称轴上的校正区域心轴的轴对称图案,其中0°表示半球形极点,90°表示赤道。 修改的凹坑可以例如通过改变凹坑覆盖,凹坑直径,凹坑深度,凹坑边缘角度,凹坑体积,凹坑横截面形状和/或凹坑平面形状来改变。 可选地,凹坑具有悬链线横截面形状,并且通过改变形状因子和/或弦深度来改变修改的凹坑。 这样的修改优选地产生一个高尔夫球,而不管方位如何而不是相应的高尔夫球而没有这样的修改,该球高度一致地飞行。
