Abstract

A kit comprising a golf ball having a lower trajectory than a conventional golf ball such as the ProV1 or TopFlight XL Straight golf balls and a golf club with a loft that is selected in order to increase and optimize the distance that the golf ball travels when hit. The ball may be conforming or non-conforming ball having a plurality of dimple areas designed to generate low lift, or a golf ball with higher drag, higher weight, or smaller size than a standard ball.

Abstract

A golf ball has a cover and a core which is made as a single piece or of two or more parts (for example an inner core covered by an outer core or mantle layer). The ball has non-spherical aspects in at least some parts and may also have different specific gravities in different parts of the ball. The different shaped ball parts combined with the different specific gravities of the materials for different ball parts results in a differential between the moments of inertia of the different spin axes. The golf ball is spherical, but the inner layers are not necessarily completely spherical or symmetrical layers or parts.

Abstract

A non-conforming golf ball has a plurality of dimples formed on the outer surface of the ball in a predetermined dimple pattern, the outer surface comprising one or more first areas which include a plurality of first dimples which together have a first dimple volume and at least one second area having a dimple volume less that the first dimple volume, the first and second areas being configured to establish a preferred spin axis. The second area may be a band around the equator which has a lower dimple volume or no dimples, with the polar regions have a higher volume of dimples, creating a preferred spin axis through the poles.
