Benefits of technology

[0003]The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of one or more aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention, and is neither intended to identify key or critic

Problems solved by technology

Because typical golf balls lack alignment features, it may be problematic to achieve a desired alignment.
Furthermore, because typical golf balls may not have markings in view of the golfer during a swing, it may be difficult to focus on a site on the golf ball.

first embodiment

[0023]FIG. 1 depicts a golf ball (100) formed according to a The golf ball (100) has exactly one continuous dynamic focus pattern (102) disposed on an exterior surface of the golf ball (100). A center of a circle traced by the continuous dynamic focus pattern (102) coincides with a center of the golf ball (100). The continuous dynamic focus pattern (102) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide. The continuous dynamic focus pattern (102) may be a solid pattern, or a linear pattern of circles, squares, or other shapes so as to form a stripe. The continuous dynamic focus pattern (102) may be one color, for example, black, red, blue or green, or may be composed of more than one color, such as alternating red and black areas, so as to form a stripe.

second embodiment

[0024]FIG. 2 depicts a golf ball (200) formed according to a The golf ball (200) has exactly two continuous dynamic focus patterns: a first continuous dynamic focus pattern (202) and a second continuous dynamic focus pattern (204) disposed on an exterior surface of the golf ball (200). A center of a first circle traced by the first continuous dynamic focus pattern (202) coincides with a center of the golf ball (200). Similarly, a center of a second circle traced by the second continuous dynamic focus pattern (204) coincides with the center of the golf ball (200). The first continuous dynamic focus pattern (202) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide. Similarly, the second continuous dynamic focus pattern (204) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide. The first continuous dynamic focus pattern (202) may be a solid pattern, or a linear pattern of circles, squares, or other shapes so as to form a stripe. Similarly, the second continuous dynamic focus pattern (204) may be a solid pattern,...

third embodiment

[0026]FIG. 3 depicts a golf ball (300) formed according to a The golf ball (300) has exactly three continuous dynamic focus patterns: a first continuous dynamic focus pattern (302), a second continuous dynamic focus pattern (304) and a third continuous dynamic focus pattern (306) disposed on an exterior surface of the golf ball (300). A center of a first circle traced by the first continuous dynamic focus pattern (302), a center of a second circle traced by the second continuous dynamic focus pattern (304), and a center of a third circle traced by the third continuous dynamic focus pattern (306) each coincide with a center of the golf ball (300). The first continuous dynamic focus pattern (302) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide. Similarly, the second continuous dynamic focus pattern (304) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide, and the third continuous dynamic focus pattern (306) is between 0.5 and 8 millimeters wide. The first continuous dynamic focus pattern (302) may be a sol...

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.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to the field of sports equipment. More particularly, this invention relates to golf balls.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A golfer may desire to improve range and accuracy of his / her shot by aligning their club to the ball prior to each swing. Because typical golf balls lack alignment features, it may be problematic to achieve a desired alignment. Furthermore, because typical golf balls may not have markings in view of the golfer during a swing, it may be difficult to focus on a site on the golf ball.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of one or more aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention, and is neither intended to identify key or critical elements of the invention, nor to delineate the scope thereof. Rather, the primary purpose of the summary is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified for...
