1. A golf ball comprising:
- a plurality of non-partitioning dimples; and
a plurality of partitioning dimples comprisinga first group of the plurality of partitioning dimples positioned about an equator of the golf ball to define a non-planar parting line for the golf ball, the first group of partitioning dimples having a first row of partitioning dimples and a second row of partitioning dimples offset from the first row of partitioning dimples,a second group of the plurality of partitioning dimples positioned around the golf ball to define a first false non-planar parting line for the golf ball, the second group of partitioning dimples having a third row of partitioning dimples and a fourth row of partitioning dimples offset from the third row of partitioning dimples, the first false non-planar parting line positioned approximately at an angle of sixty degrees to the non-planar parting line, anda third group of the plurality of partitioning dimples positioned around the golf ball to define a second false non-planar parting line for the golf ball, the third group of partitioning dimples having a fifth row of partitioning dimples and a sixth row of partitioning dimples offset from the fifth row of partitioning dimples, the second false non-planar parting line positioned approximately at an angle of sixty degrees to the non-planar parting line.

Abstract
A golf ball (20) having a non-planar parting line (25), a first false non-planar parting line (26a) and a second false non-planar parting line (26b). A first group 32 of parting dimples defines the non-planar parting line (25). A second group (33) of parting dimples defines the first false non-planar parting line (26a). A third group (34) of parting dimples defines the second false non-planar parting line (26b). A plurality of hexispheres (70) are defined by the non-planar parting line (25) the first false non-planar parting line (26a) and the second false non-planar parting line (26b).
