Anyone know why these balls have "deeper" dimples spaced evenly around the ball? It looks like about 6 or 10 of them. Any purpose to this or could it be a bad batch?

Not a bad batch. Callaway employs RIM (Reaction injection moulding or summat) when making their balls. The core is held exactly central in a mould and the outer cover is injected. Then when the mould is removed it leaves these deeper dimples.
I'm not a huge fan of it (asthetically), but it doesn't seem to have many/any adverse effects...
Whats in the bag:

If your do some research, Titleist ProV1's have about seven different dimple sizes. They do so much testing and R&D;, i'm sure they have a good reason for it.

I would guess either, spin or distance control. Not a bad batch though.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
