Most golf balls have between 300 and 500 dimples, which have an average depth of about 0.010 inch.

How many dimples does a British golf ball have?

These are all great questions. On American golf balls, there are usually 336 dimples, while there are 330 on a British ball. However these numbers can vary widely. Golf balls have anywhere from 300-500 dimples.

Why do golf balls have 336 dimples?

Dimples create the aerodynamic ability to hit golf balls for distance. A ball without dimples would not travel very far. The decision to experiment with dimples on golf balls grew out of the discovery that dented or chipped balls actually flew farther and straighter than smooth ones.
