A golf ball is provided having a dimpled surface, the configuration of the dimples comprising a dimple-free equatorial line on the ball dividing the ball into two hemispheres, with each hemisphere having substantially identical dimple patterns. The dimple pattern of each hemisphere comprises a first plurality of dimples extending in at least two spaced clockwise arcs between the pole and the equator of each hemisphere, a second plurality of dimples extending in at least two spaced counterclockwise arcs between the pole and the equator of each hemisphere, and a third plurality of dimples substantially filling the surface area between the first and second plurality of dimples.
