Frozen Balls vs Warm Balls

Posted by: user26342 | Thu 13th Jan 2011 14:04 | Last Reply

Guys,

The chaps at Cleobury Mortimer have been doing some tests around which balls are better suited to slow swings & if balls that are frozen have any impact on distance.

The results speak for themselves.

Matt - how do you know your rubber plant doesn't like cold weather?

Couldn't find a graph for polybutadiene which is the usual core, but as it's a synthetic rubber it's characteristics are similar.

Not everything can be disproved with calculations etc

Last night I watched a documentary on BBC1 about native fishing men & it showed one man who could dive to 20metres & walk on the bottom of the seabed hunting fish for over 5mins on a single breath & without any weights etc!!
