What ball bounces higher?

[Sluggo42]

So I sorted out my bin of "found" balls, into boxes marked;

Titleist

Callaway

Bridgestone

Nike/TM

Others

 

Guess which box was fullest?

Callaway- by a long shot

 

Keep in mind if I had left all the PV-1's in, Titleist would probably have won. But I also pulled all the Chrome balls too- unfortunately, not many.

 

I found 0 Kirkland

I also didn't find any TP5's

 

So a friend wanted all the callaway "super soft", so I found I had two dozens them to give him.

 

So out of curiosity, I dropped a super soft, and a hex black, both from an arms raised position

 

The super soft bounced about 5" higher, again and again.

I assumed without really knowing, that the hex black was a superior ball, but it was way less bouncy, and it had a " click" sound when it his the cement floor, whereas the super soft was more of a muted thud.

 

So if a ball bounces night, does that mean it will go farther, or will that only be for slower swing speeds.

 

If anyone want to challenge two balls against each other to see what bounces higher, lemme know, and I'll do a bounce test for you

This used to be the case back in the day of wound balls. If it bounced higher it went further, pretty straightforward. Personally with all the new compounds and tech in the balls I don't think the classic bounce test is as accurate as it used to be. Pro Vs make a muted sound and don't bounce very high but i still hit them further than anything else.
