Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement in the arrangement of dimples and lands on the surface of a sphere, particularly in a golf ball.
- a golf ball has a plurality of dimples arranged on the surface of the golf ball in order to increase the aerodynamic characteristics (lift / drag) by reducing the drag and increasing the lift.
- the surface shape of the dimple is made into a non-circular shape such as an ellipse (Patent Documents 1 and 4), or a dimple is provided with a convex part or a concave part (Patent Document 2), or the dimples are connected by a groove.
- Configurations Patent Documents 3 and 5 have been proposed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having improved aerodynamic characteristics and improved flight distance by devising dimples.
- the present invention provides a golf ball in which a spherical surface is constituted by lands excluding dimples and dimples, and the dimples are formed with circular dimples together with elliptical dimples, The one elliptical dimple is superposed on the circular dimple at both ends in the major axis direction, and the circular dimple and the elliptical dimple communicate with each other; The one land is formed between the three elliptical dimples, A golf ball was adopted.
- this golf ball has an elliptical dimple as well as a circular dimple, unlike the conventional golf ball formed with a circular dimple, and the elliptical dimple is superposed on the circular dimple. Since they are in communication with each other, the aerodynamic characteristics (lift / drag) can be increased and the flight distance can be improved while suppressing an increase in the spin amount of the golf ball.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of the aa line in FIG. 1. It is a schematic front view which shows the 2nd embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of the bb line in FIG. 3. It is a schematic front view which shows the 3rd embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of the cc line in FIG. 5.
- reference numeral 100 denotes a golf ball
- the surface 101 of the sphere is composed of a dimple 102 and a land 103 excluding the dimple 102, and the dimple 102 is formed with an elliptical dimple 104 and a circular dimple 105. .
- the one elliptical dimple 104 is overlapped with the circular dimple 105 at both longitudinal end portions 104a and 104b thereof, and the circular dimple 105 and the elliptical dimple 104 communicate with each other.
- the land 103 is formed between the three elliptical dimples 104, 104, 104 in one land 103. Accordingly, one land 103 is surrounded by the peripheral edges of the elliptical dimples 104, 104, 104 except for both ends in the long axis direction of the elliptical dimples 104, 104, 104.
- the golf ball 100 is a golf ball in which the dimple and the land are repeatedly formed in a certain relationship, unlike the golf ball having the conventional circular dimple, the elliptical dimple 104 is used together with the circular dimple 105.
- the elliptical dimple 104 is polymerized with respect to the circular dimple 105, and the elliptical dimple 104 and the circular dimple 105 communicate with each other. Therefore, the spin generated when the golf ball 100 is struck The aerodynamic characteristics (lift / drag) can be increased while reducing the amount.
- the golf ball is different from the circular dimple 105 in that the surface is a circular dimple 115 having a hexagonal shape and a conical shape.
- a circular dimple 125 is obtained by cutting the front end portion of the land 103 at an angle 107.
- the maximum depth of the elliptical dimple in the overlapping portion of the circular dimple is preferably 0.1 to 0.15 mm, and the maximum depth of the central portion of the circular dimple is preferably 0.23 to 0.28 mm.
- the maximum depth of the central portion of the elliptical dimple is preferably 0.33 to 0.38 mm.
- This golf ball is different from the conventional golf ball in which circular dimples are formed, and has an elliptical dimple together with the circular dimple, and the elliptical dimple is superposed on the circular dimple, and the elliptical dimple and the circular dimple are combined. Since they are in communication with each other, the aerodynamic characteristics (lift / drag) can be increased and the flight distance can be improved while suppressing an increase in the spin amount of the golf ball.
- the golf ball of the present invention can be used by golfers from beginners to professionals.
