preferably ranges from 0 150 inch to 0 160 inch the preferred embodiment of the present invention has reduced the land area of the surface of the golf ball 20 to almost zero since preferably only a line of each of the plurality of lattice members 40 lies on a phantom outersphere 23 fig6 of the golf ball 20 which preferably has a diameter of at least 1 68 inches more specifically the land area of a traditional golf ball is the area forming a sphere of at least 1 68 inches for usga and r amp a conforming golf balls this land area is traditionally minimized with dimples that are concave with respect to the spherical surface of the traditional golf ball resulting in land area on the non dimpled surface of the golf ball the golf ball 20 of the present invention however has only a line extending along an apex 50 of each of the lattice members 40 that lies on and defines the outersphere 23 of the golf ball 20 traditional golf balls were designed to have the dimples u201c trip u201d the boundary layer on the surface of a golf ball in flight to create a turbulent flow for greater lift and reduced drag the golf ball 20 of the present invention has the lattice structure 42 to trip the boundary layer of air about the surface of the golf ball 20 in flight as shown in fig6 the outersphere 23.
