TXG: The golf ball temperature test
We take one golf ball that’s been in the fridge, and another that’s been in warm water, and see which one produces more ball speed off the driver!

You two badly need to sharpen up and drop the self indulgence. Cut the 12 minutes to two.

Many people switch to a lower compression ball when the temperature goes down. Is that beneficial or not?
What would be the difference in your test for someone with a much slower swing speed?

What about hitting your irons, not just driver.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the temp test with the driver very interesting results to say the least, but puts to bed the myth that if you have kept your ball in the boot/trunk in your bag you need to warm the ball up in your car or in your pocket before you get to the course.

My wife suggested checking the size of the balls in each of the tests. A minimal increase or decrease could explain the results.
