Abstract:
Disclosed is a golf ball in which a plurality of dimples is arranged. The golf ball includes first dimples having the largest diameter and second dimples having the second largest diameter arranged on the surface of the golf ball divided into a spherical rhombic dodecahedron, the first dimples are arranged in an LF region of a radius of π/10 radian±10% around a first apex of the spherical rhombic dodecahedron, shared jointly by 4 spherical rhomi, and the second dimples are arranged in an LS region of a radius of π/20 radian±10% around a second apex of the spherical rhombic dodecahedron, shared jointly by 3 spherical rhombi. Thereby, air flow and pressure drag are uniformized in all of spherical polygons and thus, a carry distance of the golf ball may be improved.

Abstract:
A golf ball according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is covered with an injection-molded crosslinked polyurethane. The golf ball may have excellent scuff resistance and light resistance of a cover as well as excellent driving distance and spin by using a cover composition containing crosslinked polyurethane obtained by adding a crosslinking agent to thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). A polyurethane cover composition according to an embodiment can make it possible to prepare a crosslinked polyurethane cover by injection molding without the burden of facility investment cost.
Abstract:
A surface of a sphere is divided by using not only great circles but also small circles, forming a spherical polyhedron. The spherical polyhedron includes two spherical regular pentagons, each having a center at the pole, ten spherical isosceles triangles near the pole, ten spherical pentagons near the equator, and ten other spherical isosceles triangles near the equator. Compared to a related art, dimples are accurately arranged in spherical polygons. Thus, a dimple area ratio is improved and the number of dimples is appropriately maintained.
Abstract:
Provided is a spherical polyhedron division structure of a golf ball where dimples are arranged to have a well-defined symmetry and a dimple pattern. In the spherical polyhedron division structure, wherein an arbitrary point on a surface of a spherical body constituting a golf ball is defined as a pole, a great circle dividing the spherical body into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere with respect to the pole as a reference point is defined as an equator, the surface of the spherical body is divided into six areas formed by segments connecting the pole and points obtained by dividing the equator in units of 60°, each area is divided into spherical polygons formed by four spherical rectangles and two spherical triangles having sides with different lengths, and the spherical polygons arranged in different adjacent areas are symmetric with each other.
Abstract:
Provided is a golf ball having a surface divided by small circles. A surface of a sphere is divided by small circles to generate spherical polyhedrons in order to arrange dimples in the spherical polygons, instead of arranging dimples in spherical polyhedrons that are generated by dividing the surface of the sphere by great circles. According to one or more exemplary embodiments, a land surface of the golf ball, which is generated by arranging the dimples in the spherical polyhedrons, has a dimple area ratio higher than that of a spherical truncated icosahedron of which a surface is divided by great circles on which dimples are arranged. Therefore, a flight distance of the golf ball increases.
Abstract:
In a golf ball having a surface divided by triangular concave sectors, an area of a surface of a sphere is divided into a plurality of areas forming spherical polyhedron and a plurality of dimples are formed for each of the plurality of areas. A triangular concave sector is formed by continuously forming a plurality of triangular concave on each arc along great circles dividing the surface of the sphere into the plurality of areas. A planar shape of each of the plurality of triangular concave is a triangle and the bases of the triangular concaves are arranged on the arc along the great circles. Peaks of adjacent triangular concaves are located at opposite sides with respect to the arc along the great circles.
