Does the temperature of the golf ball affect the distance it travels?
yeah totally
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.
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.

What are the differences between the various golf ball brands?
they have different names on them. They also have different patterns of dimples, and different weights. Those factors affect the speed of the ball. That affects the distance the ball can travel.
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.
Does the temperature of a golf ball affect its performance?
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.
What is the best golf ball for all types of weather?
A golf ball can be used in any weather. When it is cold you should use a distance ball, just to give you a bit more distance, but you sacrifice some control.
What is the major factor in distance for golf?
Hit the ball as hard as you can!
Does the bouciness of a golf ball effect the distane?
The way a golf ball bounces definitely affects the distance that it will travel. There are different weights and types of golf balls for this reason.
How far does a golf ball roll in one rotation?
Let's assume that your golf ball is 1.680 inches in diameter - the smallest size golf ball allowed in certain golfing associations. Then we know that the circumference of the golf ball will be the distance it would roll in one complete rotation. Circumference = pi * diameter Circumference = 3.14 * 1.680 in Circumference = 5.2752 inches = the distance that this particular golf ball would roll
Do logo's on golf balls effect them?
No, logos on golf balls do not affect the playability of the ball in anyway.
