Temperature is one of the few variables in golf you can’t control - but understanding how it affects your golf ball can help you make smarter decisions on the course.
The Titleist Golf Ball R&D team explains how temperature impacts golf ball performance both internally and externally. As temperatures change, the materials inside a golf ball respond differently at impact, affecting energy transfer, ball speed, and spin. At the same time, colder air becomes denser, increasing drag and reducing the distance your shot travels.
You’ll learn why temperature changes affect your carry distance, how much yardage you might lose in colder conditions, and why keeping your golf ball close to room temperature can help maintain consistent performance throughout your round. Because when you understand the science behind your equipment, you can play with more confidence in any conditions.
