How many dimples does a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball (2023–24 model) have?

Answer

388 dimples

A perfectly smooth golf ball hit by a pro would fly only about half as far — dimples create a turbulent air layer that dramatically cuts drag. Most modern balls carry between 300 and 500 dimples, and manufacturers guard their exact patterns like trade secrets.
