Cold Weather’s Impact on Golf Balls

As temperatures drop, golfers may notice a significant change in their ball’s performance. Cold weather stiffens the rubber core, reducing distance by up to 2%. The dimple pattern becomes less effective, leading to a loss of backspin and control.

The cover of the ball also becomes harder, making it less responsive to impact. This can result in a loss of spin and accuracy. In addition, cold and dry air increases the likelihood of wind affecting the ball’s trajectory.

To compensate for these effects, golfers should use softer balls designed for cold weather play. These balls typically have a lower compression rating and a cover that is designed to stay soft in cold temperatures.
