Golf Ball Having Alignment Markings to Correct for Eye Dominance

Abstract

A golf ball having visual markings on its surface visible to the golfer during initial alignment of the ball to the target line and during the stroke, the visual markings being a pair of non-parallel straight lines, preferably joined at one end to form a narrow V-shape. At least one line provides a perception correction for misalignment issues caused by eye dominance.

1 . A golf ball comprising alignment markings to correct for eye dominance, said alignment markings comprising a right eye dominance alignment line located on said golf ball and a left eye dominance alignment line located on said golf ball, said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line being non-parallel and defining an angle no greater than approximately four degrees. 
     
     
         2 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line meet to form a “V” shape. 
     
     
         3 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , further comprising a right eye dominance identifier mark and a left eye dominance identifier mark located on said golf ball. 
     
     
         4 . The golf ball of  claim 2 , further comprising a right eye dominance identifier mark and a left eye dominance identifier mark located on said golf ball. 
     
     
         5 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line are different colors. 
     
     
         6 . The golf ball of  claim 5 , further comprising aright eye dominance identifier mark and a left eye dominance identifier mark located on said golf ball. 
     
     
         7 . The golf ball of  claim 2 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line are different colors. 
     
     
         8 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line do not meet. 
     
     
         9 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , further comprising a pointer mark located on said golf forward of said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line. 
     
     
         10 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , further comprising a right eye dominance identifier mark and a left eye dominance identifier mark located on said golf ball. 
     
     
         11 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line are different colors. 
     
     
         12 . The golf ball of  claim 9 , further comprising a right eye dominance identifier mark and a left eye dominance identifier mark located on said golf ball. 
     
     
         13 . The golf ball of  claim 9 , wherein said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line are different colors. 
     
     
         14 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , further comprising a target aiming line located on said golf ball between said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line. 
     
     
         15 . The golf ball of  claim 2 , further comprising a target aiming line located on said golf ball between said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line. 
     
     
         16 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , further comprising a target aiming line located on said golf ball between said right eye dominance alignment line and said left eye dominance alignment line.
