All modern golf balls have their own proprietary dimple designs. So there is no definitive answer to that question. Although obviously there is a limit to the number of dimples you can fit on a golf ball. I think Wilson used to make a ball they marketed as having the most dimples on any ball....I think it was 492.

Its all aerodynamics. Different angle of incidence of air flow on different curvatures give much more flight and movement to a golf ball. This adds more thrill to the play

It varies, usually in the mid-to-high 300s but can go anywhere from the low 300s to the mid 500s.  It is stamped onto the ball itself or appears on the package.\n\nTitleist Pro V1 (which is consistantly ranking as the best and most popular ball in the world) has 392 dimples, as do most high end Pinnacles.

I don't really know why the first three answerers have spiked hair. I presume they share a common trait...guess what...stupidity.\n\nGOLF BALL\n\nAerodynamics \n\nWhen a golf ball is hit, the impact, which lasts less than a millisecond, determines the ball’s velocity, launch angle and spin rate, all of which influence its trajectory (and its behavior when it hits the ground).\n\nA ball moving through air experiences two major forces: lift and drag. Drag slows the forward motion, whereas lift acts in a direction perpendicular to it. The magnitude of these forces depends on the behavior of the boundary layer of air moving with the ball surface.\n\nEvery modern golf ball has dimples; their purpose is to increase and shape the lift and drag forces by modifying the behavior of the boundary layer. It should be noted that drag and lift forces exist also on smooth balls: they are only modified, not created, by dimples.\n\nOne effect of dimples is a reduction of drag, contributing to the increased length of flight of dimpled balls compared with smooth ones.\n\nA spinning ball deforms the flow of air around it, thus acting similar to an airplane wing. Backspin is imparted in almost every shot due to the golf club's loft (i.e. angle between the clubface and a vertical plane). A backspinning ball experiences an upward lift force which makes it fly higher and longer than a ball without spin would. Sidespin occurs when the clubface is not aligned perpendicularly to the direction of swing, leading to a lift force that makes the ball curve to a side. These lift forces are further increased through the presence of dimples.\n\nIn order to keep the aerodynamics optimal, the ball needs to be clean. Golfers can wash their golf balls manually, but there are also mechanical ball washers available.\n \nDesign\n\nMost 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.\n\nOfficially 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 US$1.375 million in an out of court settlement.\n\nThe United States Patent and Trademark Office's patent database is a good source of past dimple designs. Most designs are based on Platonic solids such as icosahedron.\n\n<BEST ANSWER>

8,369,863 I took the number of golf courses, rounds played per day, and I did some averaging on how many would lose a ball.\n\nThe average golfer score is over 106 and they lose over 4 golf balls, but they also find two or three during the round.  My number is the gross.

Yeh, 423 has more dimples than 408, otherwise it's just very technical on aerodynamic that doesn't make sense to most golfers. You need to hit at near zero handicap to really feel the different in golf balls, let alone the number of dimples.

I'm not sure - but did you know that most golf ball have between 300 and 450 dimples?

1. Harder golf balls, some call them two piece, they are promoted for distance - these balls will go further than the other types. The ball will hook or slice less and will not stop on the green as well as the other types. This ball is harder to fade or drawl. This ball will bounce higher than the other balls if dropped on a hard surface\n\n2. This ball is built for feel but has a harder cover - You get good distance but not as good as the 1st. The ball will stop on green a little better and will move around a little more. This ball will have some spin on it.\n\n3. Softer ball - This ball has more feel to it. The ball spins so it will hood or slice more. The ball stops on the greens. You can move the ball around. This ball is very pricey and not as durable. \n\nSource(s):

It depends on the ball. Most balls today have between 300 and 450. All modern brands of ball have an even number of dimples except for one, which has 333.
