Abstract
A nets configuration for the dimples on the surface of a golf ball is characterized by at least a portion of the bottom surface of the dimple extending below a radius of curvature which defines the concavity of the dimple. Thus, the dimples have a non-symmetric depth profile. The dimples are preferably circular and the non-symmetrical portions are maintained within one half of the dimple.
