Patent ID: 7367904

Claim:
A golf ball comprising: a substantially spherical outer surface; and a plurality of multi-lobed dimples formed on the outer surface of the ball, wherein the lobes in each dimple are positioned radially around the center of the dimple, wherein each lobe is defined by a circumferential segment and wherein said circumferential segment defines a part of the perimeter of the dimple, and wherein the number of lobes for each multi-lobed dimple is the same as the number of dimples surrounding said multi-lobed dimple and wherein a prominence ratio of each multi-lobed dimple is defined by a ratio of an average of an inside radii extending from the center to troughs of the lobes to an average of an outside radii extending from the center to apex points of the lobes, and wherein the ratio is between about 0.70 and about 0.95.
