The Best Golf Balls for Cold Weather

The Best Golf Balls for Cold Weather
Some days, the weather can become a factor on the golf course: it can be rainy, windy or just outright cold. During these times of inclement weather, it is important to have the proper equipment to handle it. The correct shoes, clothes, clubs and balls are all essential to having a good day on the course in bad weather or not. Perhaps the most important thing to have in cold weather is the correct ball, because certain balls travel differently when the temperature is lower than expected or desired.

Wilson Staff Fifty Elite Golf Balls

Wilson Staff Fifty Elite golf balls are some of the best balls to use in the cold weather. Staff Fifty Elite golf balls are constructed with a nano-tech rubber core and an ionomer cover. The ionomer cover is crucial to its performance because ionomer is a polymer that reacts differently when temperatures increase and decrease. when the temperature drops on the course, the ball will continue to fly and not be affected by the cold because of its cover. The 302-dimple design also allows it to cut through any accompanying wind that may come with the cold weather. Wilson Staff Fifty Elite golf balls are available in 12 packs for $17.95 per pack (see References).

Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls

Titleist Pro V1 golf balls are constructed with a polybutadiene rubber core and a urethane elastomer (polyurethane) cover. Both of those materials, along with its 392-dimple design, allow the Pro V1 travel in cold weather absolutely unaffected. There is even an alignment integrated marker that is stamped on the side of the ball to help improve players' putting in any weather condition. Titleist Pro V1 golf balls are available in 12 packs for $45.95 per pack (see References).

Callaway HX Tour Series X-Out Golf Balls

Callaway HX Tour Series X-Out golf balls are constructed with a polybutadiene rubber core and a cast thermoset urethane (polyurethane) cover. The materials are similar to the ones used in the Pro V1, which is why the balls perform similarly in colder weather. The 332-dimple design also adds to the ball flight and speed on chilly days. Callaway HX Tour Series X-Out golf balls are available in 12 packs for just $27.95 per pack (see References).
