If you were thinking of freezing your balls to try and boost compression, speed, and distance, don’t. Distance (both carry and total) dropped by more than 21 yards. The flight was noticeably lower and, anecdotally, a bit erratic. Ball speeds dropped very significantly (more than six miles per hour on average). In our lab tests, after six hours in the freezer, compression only changes by two to three points.Īs for the performance notes, the frozen balls launched lower and spun significantly more (nearly 500 rpm). Interestingly, the cold had only a minimal impact on compression. The working theory is that cold alters the material properties of the urethane covers, ultimately making them behave a bit like an extremely poor quality Surlyn. Observationally, the surface texture of the ball changes and likely firms up quite a bit. The frozen balls were loud and unpleasantly pitchy. First, and perhaps most notably, was the significant difference in sound (and presumably feel).
