The number of dimples is either 336 for an American ball or 330 for a British ball. http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Sports/instructor/golf-01.html Bob Thurman, who tests and designs golf balls for Wilson Sports. He says a golf ball usually has anywhere from 330 to 500 dimples - depending on which company designs the ball. Companies can even design golf balls to suit the swing of individual golfers. So a ball used by Tiger Woods might have a completely different dimple pattern than one used by David Duvall. The ideal ball will usually have between 380 and 432 dimples. http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p1147.htm Any number between 300 and 500 dimples is reasonable, and 336 is a common number. http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/van/qa/section/Everything_Else/Sports/20020812054128.htm Why dimples? http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/van/qa/section/everything_else/sports/20020510112102.htm Apr 22 03, 6:48 AM
