The plurality of dimples located adjacent to the parting line consists of a first portion of dimples, each dimple of the first portion having a wave relief distance of from 0.001 inches and 0.005 inches, and a second portion of dimples, each dimple of the second portion having a wave relief distance of greater than 0.008 inches, where wave relief distance is measured as the shortest distance from the average dimple diameter of the dimple to the parting line.

The invention relates to a mobile charging station for at least one ball game device, in particular in the form of a golf ball, comprising at least one internal energy source and at least one holding means for holding and fixing at least one ball game device having integrated electronics, wherein the at least one held ball game device can be charged or can be supplied with energy by the at least one internal energy source.

A method of dispersing ashes of a subject comprising cremating the subject's body to form ashes, and introducing a sample of the ashes into a spherical golf ball having a frangible outer surface and at least one inner cavity.

The present invention is directed to a golf ball having a non-planar parting line about non-circular dimples on its spherical surface. The parting line comprises non-concentric arcs having straight connecting line segments between the arcs. Each arc maintains a tangency with its connecting lines and a relief distance greater than or equal to 0.003 inches when measured from an average non-circular dimple diameter to one of the non-concentric arcs and an absolute relief distance of at least 0.001 inches when measured from all points on the non-circular dimple perimeter to one of the non-concentric arcs. The sum of the lengths of the non-concentric arcs relates to the sum of the straight connecting line segments according to the equation:

The spherical core is formed from a rubber composition including a base rubber, a co-cross-linking agent, a cross-linking initiator, an unsaturated fatty acid and/or a metal salt thereof, and an aromatic carboxylic acid and/or a metal salt thereof, the co-cross-linking agent includes an ,-unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and/or a metal salt thereof, the unsaturated fatty acid and metal salt thereof excludes an ,-unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and a metal salt thereof, and the rubber composition includes a metal compound when the co-cross-linking agent contains only an ,-unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms.

The present invention is directed to a golf ball having a non-planar parting line about non-circular dimples on its spherical surface. The parting line comprises non-concentric arcs having straight connecting line segments between the arcs. Each arc maintains a tangency with its connecting lines and a relief distance greater than or equal to 0.003 inches when measured from an average non-circular dimple diameter to one of the non-concentric arcs and an absolute relief distance of at least 0.001 inches when measured from all points on the non-circular dimple perimeter to one of the non-concentric arcs. The sum of the lengths of the non-concentric arcs relates to the sum of the straight connecting line segments according to the equation:

The present invention is directed to a golf ball comprising of non-concentric arcs defining a non-planar parting line on its spherical surface resulting in having a large size disparity between non-circular dimples in one hemisphere and adjacent non-circular dimples from the opposing hemisphere. The parting line is produced by a pair of adjacent non-circular dimples, wherein .sub.d indicates the average non-circular dimple diameter and N indicates dimples from the Northern hemisphere and those from the Southern hemisphere are indicated by S. A large disparity may be created, if the following condition is satisfied: $\frac{{}_d\left(N\right)}{{}_d\left(S\right)}>1.25\mathrm{or}\frac{{}_d\left(N\right)}{{}_d\left(S\right)}<0.80.$

A golf ball of the present invention includes a small-size IC tag including an IC chip and a first antenna directly connected to the IC chip and having a size of 5 mm or less; and a conductive second antenna of which a part is disposed near the IC tag. The IC tag and the second antenna do not need to be in physical contact with each other. The distance between the part of the second antenna and the IC tag may be at most 1 mm. The second antenna may be arranged over at least a half of the circumference of the golf ball.
