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.
