Abstract: An electronic method for matching a user with a golf ball includes playing a first digital audio file to a user via a computer and playing a second digital audio file to the user via the computer. Each of the first digital audio file and the second digital audio file correspond to an acoustic response of a respective golf ball to a standardized impact force. The method then includes receiving an input from the user via the computer, where the input corresponds to a preferred acoustic response selected from the acoustic response of the first golf ball and the acoustic response of the second golf ball. Once the preferred response is determined, the method includes displaying a golf ball model that corresponds to the preferred acoustic response.

Abstract: A golf ball 2 has numerous craters 8 on its surface. The craters 8 are arranged randomly. Of the surface of the golf ball 2, a part other than the craters 8 is a land 10. By the craters 8 and the land 10, a rugged pattern is formed on the golf ball 2. A process for designing the rugged pattern includes the steps of:(1) assuming a plurality of states;(2) assuming a large number of cells on a spherical surface;(3) deciding an initial state of each cell;(4) determining whether or not to change a state of the each cell based on states of a plurality of cells located adjacent to the each cell;(5) updating the state of the each cell based on the determination; and(6) assigning a land 10 or a recess to the each cell according to the state of the each cell.
