There was some research about dimpling baseball bats to allow players faster swings. Same for golf club shafts. They all work and have been duly outlawed by their governing bodies.

Oh man, sorry to hear about that. I was hoping something might happen!

There's another thought, wonder how they would do on cars. I know I've seen that Ford made a dimpled car, where it was dimpled on the bottom, but nothing other than that.
