Cold golf balls lose noticeable carry distance and wedge spin, while excessively hot balls suffer soft-core energy transfer loss that drops ball speed. Keeping your golf balls stored at room temperature provides the best combination of distance, spin control, and consistency.
Their scorecard
Spin: 5/5 — 9,983 RPM wedge spin warm
Distance: 5/5 — 294.1 yds carry at room temp
What they rate
Provides clear data on how temperature directly impacts golf ball spin and carry distance
Disproves the myth that heating golf balls up yields infinite distance gains
Tests multiple construction types across three distinct club types
What they don’t
50°C (122°F) heat test represents an extreme condition rarely seen on the course
Limited sample size of three shots per ball per club
