Golf ball dimple pattern
First Claim
1. In a golf ball having an outside surface with a plurality of dimples formed thereon, the dimples being round and forming a plurality of spherical-triangular regions;
- wherein each region has a first set of dimples formed in a large triangle having three sides and three points and a second set of dimples formed in a small triangle inside of and adjacent to the large triangle;
wherein the first set of dimples forming the large triangle comprises first dimples forming the three points having first diameters and at least five second dimples along each of the sides having second diameters larger than the first diameters and the diameters of each of the second dimples of the first set are equal to or greater than adjacent dimples which are nearer the first dimples on the points of the large triangle; and
the dimples cover more than 80% of said outside surface.

Abstract
A golf ball having an outside surface with a plurality of dimples formed thereon that form at least four spherical-triangular regions. Each of the regions has a first set of dimples formed in a large triangle and a second set of dimples formed in a small triangle inside of and adjacent to the large triangle. The diameters of the first set of dimples vary such that at least one diameter of the first set of dimples is equal to or greater than adjacent dimples nearer to the dimples on the points of the large triangle, and the dimples cover more than 80% of the outer surface with diameters of 0.11 inches or greater. The total number of dimples on the golf ball is about 300 to 500.
