Hi Golfer,

Tiger is washed.I said what I said. I think he’s been due to retire for years.

I also think range balls should be free. Fight me.

What are your thoughts? Drop a comment on either article and let us know why I’m wrong.

TOUR

Tiger is Washed

It’s time to retire.

Tiger is no longer competitive. He can barely walk, and doesn’t look like he’s enjoying the grind of playing golf. It’s time for him to hang em’ up.

Hot vs Cold Golf Balls

To see how an increase in temperature can impact performance, we left a portion of our test sample exposed to the Arizona heat.

To understand the impact of extreme cold on a golf ball, we stuck a portion of our sample in a freezer for the better part of a day.

We (well, the robot) hit both the hot and cold balls along with a sample of balls that had been kept inside, out of the sun and at room temperature. The test was conducted with a nine-degree driver and a swing speed of 100 mph

The initial results of our temperature experiments are interesting and there are definitely a number of rabbit holes we could dive into in pursuit of more insights.

For now, we’ll leave you with an understanding that temperature can impact golf ball performance but the degree to which it matters is dependent on the type and duration of exposure.

For the best (and most consistent) results, we’d advise against keeping your golf balls in your car. As with many things, room temperature is the sensible play.
