Abstract:
A golf ball comprising:a plurality of dimples arranged overall on the spherical surface of said golf ball by assuming the spherical surface of said golf ball as a spherical octahedron and using, as dimple arrangement units, eight spherical triangles constituting said spherical octahedron, on each of which a specific number of said dimples are arranged; wherein at least four of said dimples are arranged on each of three sides of said spherical triangle; there is no great circle with which any one of said dimples does not intersect; wherein one of four great circles formed by connecting associated ones of mid points of sides of said spherical triangles to each other is an equatorial line which substantially corresponds to a parting plane of a two-half mold for molding said golf ball and a plurality of the dimples are located on each of said four great circles in such a manner as to partially intersect with the great circles; the total number of said dimples is in a range of 380 to 450.
