I have been seeing more guys talk about it on websites.

What is you current ball and what ball would you consider changing to in colder weather ?

My Current ball - Chrome Tour

Nope. Easier just to club up and keep the same ball characteristics that I am accustomed to.

I read that wrong.

You meant “change”, not charge.

I have read where you should keep extra golf ball in your pocket and rotate them each hole IF it’s cold.

As far as changing golf balls goes, I often will play lower compression ionomer cover balls in the winter.

I change often. Different courses, different balls. TP5, Q-Star, Bridgestone, pro v1. I have a bunch of all of them (thank you shitty golfers who buy expensive balls and hit them twice)

Senator - Anything, those greens hold shots

Legislator - Pro v1 or TP5. Like concrete, need all the spin you can get.

Judge - Bridgestone. Firm greens, but controllable.

Buddy of mine likes z-star and maxfli tour. So he gets all those.

I think it may be illegal to use hand warmers to keep golf balls warm.


Of course, I’m not in any big time events when it’s 44 and cloudy so who cares.

Yes. I play a lower compression ball in the winter and I can tell the difference

Nope. I find I can mishit and lose balls in winter just as easily as the warmer months.

I usually play a softer ball in the cold.

Hitting a ProV1 in 40 degrees is like hitting a rock.

Yep.

To a Titleist AVX or Maxfli Tour S. Lower ball flight is needed here in the winter. It's been windy as hell here for a couple of weeks. And usually stays that way in the winter

I play what ever appears in my ball grabber. It's like free field testing.

It's just coincidence that I store my golf balls in the same pocket as my hand warmers.
