摘要:
Golf balls may include a first pole, a second pole, and a seam located between the first and second poles. Dimples are formed on a surface of the ball in a pattern that includes a plurality of repeating sectors around each pole of the ball. The sectors on one ball half are rotationally offset across the seam line from the sectors on the other ball half. Additionally, each individual sector includes a line of symmetry over which the dimple pattern on one half of the sector is mirrored on the other half. A variety of different dimple types also may be arranged on a golf ball surface, e.g., within the sectors described above. Additional aspects of this invention relate to the features of various layers of a multi-piece golf ball and to methods of making golf balls having at least some of the features mentioned above.
摘要:
A packaging (300) for at least one ball includes at least one opening that is configured to expose a portion of the ball. The openings are configured to restrict movement of the ball by engaging a surface of the ball. This packaging reduces the amount of the packaging material needed to produce the packaging while maximizing the amount of shelf space needed to display the packaging to increase visibility of the packaging.

摘要:
A method and system for capturing, transmitting, and displaying golf swing data uses data capture elements in golf balls (10) or golf clubs (20) to capture data and transmission elements to transmit the golf swing data to a mobile computing auxiliary device (30). The mobile computing auxiliary device (30) relays the captured and transmitted golf swing data to a mobile computing device (100). The mobile computing device transmits the golf swing data to a database (420). A server associated with the database generates web pages to make the golf swing data available over the internet.
