I heard that if you let your golf balls freeze over the winter that they arent as good anymore? Doesn anyone know this or wouldnt it matter? Thanks

how do you let your golf balls freeze? they have golf courses in siberia?

although i imagine it would alter the properties of the ball. seems like it would make the ball harder to compress and i don't think golf balls can be thawed

Why would anyone want to freeze their golf balls....That's a new one...now, i have heard about heating up golf balls so they rebound better....

I doubt any difference would be permanent....

I don' t think he's talking about intentionally freezing his golf balls. Something more like leaving them in the garage or something. I don't see why the ball would change.

Slightly off topic, there was a company a few years back who specialzed in freezing objects down to near absolute zero, they claimed it had astounding effects on all kinds of things. They had a website that showed 'independent' test results on the objects they froze (then thawed mind you)...claimed to make metals, platics, etc all better in sometimes unexpected ways. Wish I could remember their name.

Freezing them doesn't change them at all, I left mine out in the net all winter and nothing is wrong with them.

Of course cooling things down all that way will make some changes.... but (having played with liquid nitrogen on quite a number of occasions) I can tell you that it isnt always a good change!
