Patent ID: 8632426

Claim:
A golf ball comprising: a generally spherical surface; a plurality of dimples separated by a land area formed on the surface, wherein the dimples consists of a top conical sidewall and a bottom spherical cap, and having a defined point of intersection between the top conical sidewall and the bottom spherical cap, wherein a difference between a slope of the conical sidewall and a slope of the spherical cap at the point of intersection 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 0.15 and about 0.65, and wherein Φ EDGE is defined as an angle between a first line T 1 tangent to the conical sidewall and a second line T 2 tangent to a phantom spherical surface.
