Abstract
Golf balls including at least one modified dimple group are disclosed. The modified dimple group comprises one or more modified dimples forming an axially symmetric pattern about a correction area centroid. The modified dimples can be altered, for example, by changing the edge angle. In one aspect, a plurality of modified dimple types are provided, such that additional permutations of edge angle adjustment are provided thereby allowing for further refinement of symmetrical flight performance.
