Claim:
A golf ball including a first pole, a second pole, and a seam located between the first and second poles, the golf ball including a surface having a plurality of dimples formed therein, wherein the plurality of dimples are arranged in a pattern that includes: (a) a first dimple pattern half including N sectors, wherein N is an integer ranging from 2 to 10, wherein a first dimple pattern sector is arranged in each of the N sectors of the first dimple pattern half such that a line of symmetry extending in a direction from the first pole to the seam exists within each of the N sectors of the first dimple pattern half, and wherein the first dimple pattern sector is repeated N times around the first pole, and (b) a second dimple pattern half including N sectors, wherein the first dimple pattern sector is arranged in each of the N sectors of the second dimple pattern half such that a line of symmetry extending in a direction from the second pole to the seam exists within each of the N sectors of the second dimple pattern half, wherein the first dimple pattern sector is repeated N times around the second pole, and wherein the lines of symmetry in the first dimple pattern half do not align with and are rotationally offset from the lines of symmetry of the second dimple pattern half by an offset amount within a range of 2° to (360/2N)°, wherein the plurality of dimples includes: at least 18 dimples of a first dimple type having a first diameter within a range of 2 mm to 3 mm; at least 12 dimples of a second dimple type having a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter and within a range of 3 mm to 3.6 mm; at least 6 dimples of a third dimple type having a third diameter that is larger than the second diameter and within a range of 3.2 mm to 3.8 mm; at least 36 dimples of a fourth dimple type having a fourth diameter that is larger than the third diameter and within a range of 3.4 mm to 4 mm; at least 270 dimples of a fifth dimple type having a fifth diameter that is larger than the fourth diameter and within a range of 3.6 to 4.4 mm; and at least 18 dimples of a sixth dimple type having a sixth diameter that is larger than the fifth diameter and within a range of 4 mm to 6 mm.
