Yes. This is because in the center of a Golf ball there is either a rubber or a liquid core. This means that when the rubber or liquid is heated, it is easier to move around. When the rubber or liquid becomes colder, the core becomes harder, thus making it harder to bounce.

Yes, the warmer a ball is the further it will fly and similarly, the colder it is the shorter it will fly. You are not allowed to deliberately alter the temperature of a golf ball, this is against the rules.

What is the compression of a Titleiest Pro V1 golf ball?

Compression of a golf ball has not been used for about 10 years, as a result it is no longer given as data for golf ball performance.


How does Temperature affect the bounce of a golf ball?

Q: How does temperature affect the distance that a golf ball will travel?A: Golf balls are made from a solid or liquid core with tightly-wound materials, and require a certain amount of elasticity in order to release kinetic energy during a collision (bounce). The property of elasticity is affected by temperature. Warm balls have a greater ability to flex during a collision, thereby recovering more kinetic energy than golf balls at colder temperatures. This scientific principle is called the coefficient of restitution. Simply put, the ball's 'bounciness' is dependent on the elasticity of the materials, and the bouncier the ball, the farther it will travel when struck by a golf club.


Does the temperature of the golf ball affect its rebound?

A warmer ball will come off the clubface with more velocity and spin than a colder ball, encouraging loft. The ball's temperature also has an effect on bounce. Heat gives the ball more elasticity, creating a ball that bounces more and travels longer.


Do logo's on golf balls effect them?

No, logos on golf balls do not affect the playability of the ball in anyway.


Does heat affect golf ball flight?

Well the warmer it is the easier and further the ball flies.


How does the temperature of the golf balls affect the golf balls height?

A warm golf ball will come off the club faster than a cold ball, with subsequent more spin. So up until a realistic point, a warm ball will fly higher and farther than a cold one. Largely because a cold ball is harder to compress than a warm softer one. Will being cold or warm cause a golf ball to fly at a higher trajectory relative to it's distance.


Is using a golf ball that has been heated prior to starting play legal within the rules of golf?

Yes, ball temperature has nothing to do with it, unless your ball loses density through heating. If that, then no.

What is the hang time of a golf ball?

To achieve maximum Hangtime with a golf ball you have to combine the optimum spin rate with the optimum launch angle of the golf ball. Usually the higher the launch and the lower the spin the better. Angle of attack with ones swing will also affect Hangtime. Hangtime Golf have been the pioneers of this for golf since 2001
