Golf Ball

Abstract

A golf ball including a plurality of continuous dynamic focus patterns between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide on the exterior surface of the golf ball, such that each continuous dynamic focus patterns circumscribes the golf ball and the center of each said continuous dynamic focus pattern coincides with the center of said golf ball. A golf ball including at least four discrete dynamic focus patterns between 0.5 and 8 millimeters across on the exterior surface of the golf ball. A golf ball including both a plurality of continuous dynamic focus patterns and at least four discrete dynamic focus patterns on the exterior surface of the golf ball.

         15 . A golf ball, comprising:
 a plurality of continuous dynamic focus patterns on an exterior surface of said golf ball, such that:
 each of said continuous dynamic focus patterns is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide; 
 each of said continuous dynamic focus patterns circumscribes said golf ball; and 
 a center of each said continuous dynamic focus patterns coincides with a center of said golf ball; and 
   a plurality of at least four discrete dynamic focus patterns on an exterior surface of said golf ball, such that each said discrete dynamic focus pattern is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters across   
     
     
         16 . The golf ball of  claim 15 , in which at least one of said discrete dynamic focus patterns are disposed in paths of said continuous dynamic focus patterns.
