dimples-- Small indentations on the cover of a golf ball which make the ball fly further and straighter.
Dimples
How do dimple patterns affect the flight/trajectory of a golf ball?
Dimples : The indentations on the surface of a golf ball which increase friction, promote spin and lift.
DIMPLES
Small concave markings on the golf ball helping the ball rise in flight.

Dimples on a regulation golf ball differ greatly from one golf ball to another, depending on their depth, alignment and distribution.

Pattern of dimples on a ball comprised of four straight rows of dimples around the middle of the ball, with four around each pole. Small triangular arrays of dimples fill the remaining area on the ball.
Intended to give aerodynamic properties like the dimples on present day balls. Brassie Former name given to a 2 wood. A wooden club with a brass sole plate with more loft than a driver and less than the than the spoon.

Dimples
The round indentations on a golf ball cover which are scientifically designed to enable the ball to make a steady and true flight.
Imagine hitting a ball without dimples. As it spins, air flows around it and disrupts air, creating drag that slows the ball down. Dimples on a ball allow air to hold the ball's shape longer, creating less drag and wind resistance.
Regardless, the 5-inch line and the two dimples and center of the ball must all coincide in one line. The two dimples and center of the ball define what amounts to a thin vertical ring in the ball.
When a ball sits in the rain for more than a few seconds, its dimples fill up with water, and the result is that you will not be able to make clean club-to-ball impact. It will slip and slide both on impact and during its initial roll.
The most striking feature of the Lady Dunlop Putter are the funny little dimples on the hitting surface. According to Dunlop Sport, this is meant to improve contact by eliminating air cushions between the ball and the putting surface.
Hi Mark, a PRO V1 has a line along the dimples all the way round it. Is this a join? When you strike a PRO V1 should you strike it along the line or should you strike the logo? Is there even a difference?

This spin, in combination with ball dimples, is what causes a golf ball to fly in its unique manner. A golf ball without backspin spin will travel distances up to 50 percent less than one with optimal backspin.
The geometric arrangement of a golf ball's dimples.
Shaft
That part of the club between the club head and the grip. Early clubs had hickory wood shafts, which later gave way to metallic and fiberglass and graphite material.
The rate of rotation or spin of a ball around a horizontal spin axis that is at right angles to the ball's flight path. This spin, in combination with ball dimples, is what causes a golf ball to fly in its unique manner.

DIMPLE - the small round indentations on the golf ball. A lot of really smart guys (some call them scientists) got together and figured out how many dimples would be the ball fly straight and true.
Bramble: A small molded bump on some types of golf balls (gutta purcha and rubber core). Intended to give aerodynamic properties like the dimples on present day balls.
Dimple: Depression on a golf ball designed to help get the ball airborne and maintain its accurate flight. Depending upon the number, depth and arrangement of the dimples, ball aerodynamics are greatly influenced.
The video features an extensive simulation based on research conducted by scientists at Arizona State University and the University of Maryland looking at the effects of air drag on the dimples on a golf ball. Click on the graphic below.
The Condor "S" is an illegal golf ball on the PGA Tour because of the ultra-tight wound core and 410 dimples. Stay ahead of the golfing curve with NGC Golf.
