Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a golf ball, the method comprising: dividing a spherical outer surface of the golf ball into faces of a spherical polyhedron selected from spherical cube-octahedron composed of 6 spherical squares and 8 spherical triangles by using division lines which have an identical center with the golf ball's; forming border lines in parallel at a position of ±1˜2 latitudinal degrees to the division lines; and arranging circular dimples on the rest region of the spherical polyhedron and no circular dimples on a pole of the golf ball by using the border lines as an occupation limit line of the circular dimples positioned opposite to the division lines, wherein the circular dimples are arranged to have mold parting lines mixed with a straight mold parting line and a wave type mold parting line in the equator region of the golf ball, wherein the length of the straight mold parting line occupies 15%˜35% of the line composing the circumference of a circle as a straight line and the length of the wave type mold parting line occupies 65%˜85% of the line composing the circumference of a circle as a straight line, wherein each instance of the wave type mold parting line is longer in length than a diameter of the circular dimple, wherein the golf ball is manufactured by using an upper mold and a bottom mold which have gates formed on upper and bottom sides of the straight mold parting line excepting the wave type mold parting line and by using one or more of the circular dimples positioned adjacent and nearest to the pole of the golf ball as vent pins.
