    How do they make them?

    I would have thought something like that could come out of a mold, and so all of them would be the same.

      All the same from 1 manufacturer, at least for the same model.

      But different manufacturers use different patterns, and even the same manufacturer may change their designs.

      I also do not play golf, I know this from maths and physics videos on YouTube.

      yes, two balls of the same model will be the same and they are afaik made with molds and many balls will have an aequator where no dimples are placed to ease that process.

      i just remember being surprised that not more measurements of the balls are specified for tournament use and if a model is tournament legal boils mostly down to a set of standardized tests by golf associations.
