Patent ID: 8137217

Claim:
A golf ball dimple consisting of a top conical edge and a bottom spherical cap, and having a defined point of tangency at an intersection between the top conical edge and the bottom spherical cap, wherein a difference between a slope of the conical edge and a slope of the spherical cap at the point of tangency is less than about 2°, wherein said dimple has a shape defined by at least a saucer ratio (S r ) and edge angle (Φ EDGE ), wherein S r is defined as a ratio of dimple diameter (D D ) to spherical cap diameter (D S ) and the value of said ratio is between about 0.05 and about 0.75, and wherein Φ EDGE is defined as an angle between a first line T 1 tangent to the conical edge and a second line T 2 tangent to a phantom spherical surface.
