A few years ago they brought out the HX ball, the idea behind them was that the ball would have superior aerodynamic qualities because the hexagonal dimple alllowed nearly 100% coverage of the Golf ball, with round dimples there is a lot of places where the dimples do not cover.

What is the shape of the dimples on a golf ball?
Dimples are placed on a golfball by a large machine called a Ball Stamper, made by American Industrial Equipment Corporation, which was first founded on February 22nd of 1842 by James Marshall Windham III. The first one could only place 2 of the 336 dimples on a ball in one second. It took almost 2 minutes to place all 336 dimples on one ball! The latest models can put all 336 dimples on the ball instantly, on up to 6000 balls at a time. That's over 2 million dimples at once!

How do golf brands decide to place dimples?
The research and development department use CAD to design a dimple pattern and computer software can actually tell them how well it flies. If the results are good, they will make a prototype, which will be hit under test conditions, then by their 'Iron Byron' (A one armed robot with a very good golf swing), then they will give it to their tour players to test in real conditions. A golf ball usually has 330-400 dimples, obviously the more dimples the smaller they will be. The Srixon AD333 was the world's first golf ball with an odd number of dimples. In 2003 Callaway invented the HX Tour which was the world's first and only ball to have hexagonal dimples.
