How many dimples are on a golf ball?

Question

pga-there is a exact number...they are counted at random during the tourney...if found over or under player is automatically disqualified!

Answer 1

dont the titelists have 392?

Answer 2

I believe Titleist's have 349, Callaway have 338, Bridgestone have 358.  I've personally counted them.  No, not really.  I wouldn't worry about how many dimples there are on a golf ball.  You buy a ball and it should be a legal golf ball.  Make the other person count the dimples if there's any question.

Answer 3

What ball are you wanting to know about?  Most balls today have between 300-500 dimples.  There is no regulation, in the beginning there were no dimples and there was once a ball with over 1200 dimples

Answer 4

There is no rule about the number of dimples. The PGA Tour conforms to the rules of golf as set by the United States Golf Association. The USGA maintains a list of conforming and non-conforming balls. But number of dimples is not a criteria.

You can find USGA rules on equipment here:

Answer 6

You got some very bad information and let's stop asking this question.

Answer 7

Varies by manufacturer.

Answer 8

Most balls on sale today have about 300 to 450 dimples.

There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples -- 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on market is a ball with 333 dimples.

Officially sanctioned balls are designed to be as symmetrical as possible. There was a ball that had six rows of normal dimples on its equator, and very shallow dimples elsewhere. This asymmetrical design helps the ball self-adjust its spin-axis during the flight. The USGA did not sanction it and changed the rules to ban aerodynamic asymmetrical balls. The ball supplier sued the USGA and the USGA paid U.S. $1.375 million in an out of court settlement.

Answer 9

No rule on the number allowed - it differs by manufacturer.  There are rules that allow a ball on to the "Conforming List", but number of dimples isn't one of them.
