1. A golf ball comprising a peripheral surface having the general shape of a sphere and a plurality of dimples arranged in the said peripheral surface, said dimples defining intersection circles where they intersect with said peripheral surface, said intersection circles being distributed on said peripheral surface in accordance with a repetitive motif determined by subdivision of said peripheral surface along 6 equatorial circles of which each is centered on an axis passing through respective midpoints of two diametrically opposed edges of a cube inscribed in said sphere, in a manner to define 24 elemental surfaces in the form of a spherical isosceles right-angle triangle, inside which said intersection circles are essentially distributed, at least a determined one of said equatorial circles cutting none of said intersection circles and subdividing each of the others of said equatorial circles into two equatorial circular arcs, of which each corresponds to one of two hemispheres defined by said determined equatorial circle, said equatorial circular arcs mutually cutting in pairs or threes at determined points of intersection on each said hemisphere, wherein at least one intersection circle is arranged about a respective one of said points of intersection of three of said equatorial circular arcs.
