Only in the wind when it is in my face. Just adjust by adding a club or two according to the wind. I play Prov1s in any and all conditions and they perform very well for me. I play on the coast of S Carolina the year round. Keep them in my pocket to keep them warm the year round.

With having to add extra clothes and the cold I lose alot of distance. So I switch to a softer ball. It sucks to get old but it is what it is.

I try not to play like I am 75, as I fly the ball past those much younger. Good equipment and good teachers, even at this age help a lot. I hit my 17* hybrid as far as most in my group of seniors hit their drivers.

I usually hit one more club in the winter.

Typically when temps get below 45 degrees you can lose around 10 yards. I just play 1 more club most of the time in the winter month in Kansas. The down side is it is usually windy (15-20) also so it goes to 2 clubs really quick on some days. I still play my Pro V1 12 months out of the year though.

Yellow pro v1 all year round for me here in Scotland
On the occasional very wet and exceedingly windy conditions, I’ll maybe swap to an AVX golf ball ️‍♂️

I am definitely not losing distance because of my Pro V1s, however, I have noticed that even in the range with Pinnacle balls or in the course with my Pro V1s my swing speed is faster = more distance. This may be due to my body temperature, the type of clothing which enhances my flexibility, etc.

Having said that, this has nothing to do with the golf ball.

Below 50* or so, in calm winds, I have seen an average distance loss of about 10% on well-hit drives using either a Pro V1x or AVX. My trajectory is usually lower with the AVX so I tend to get a little more roll with it, provided the fairways aren't too soft. Now in my mid-60s, a really good drive for me in summer is 250 yards. That same swing and contact in 40* temps might get me 225 (assuming I could actually make that same swing with all the extra clothing layers!).

I see very little distance loss with my shorter irons--a couple/few yards---and maybe 5-10 yards less with my longer ones. Depending on the lie and conditions, I often play the same iron I might in warmer conditions. I notice that hitting off a tee with a perfect lie on par 3s, a well struck mid-to-long iron, or hybrid shot garners me almost full summertime distance.

I would just add, the better the player, the more precise adjustments are made for differences in temperature, wind, elevation, etc. The feel and performance of any ball, ProV1 or other, will be affected by these conditions. Titleist did a great post last year (or maybe 2019) about why you should still stick to the ball that fits you best and use club selection to adjust for the weather/elements. I stick with my ProV1x year-round but do change to yellow if visibility is a problem that day (rain, fog, late evening, etc.)

I play in the PNW through the winter, when temps are in the 40's I certainly notice a difference. Typically, I move to a ball with less spin, and will lose anywhere from 1-2 clubs in distance.

Someone can elaborate as I'm sure my numbers are wrong; but I believe the rule of thumb (really with any golf ball, as long as it's constant) is a yard lost for every degree it is colder than 75(?). That doesn't account for how often us hacks don't hit the dead middle of the clubface, especially in the colder temps.

This one is my best answer whenever cold weather and ball performance are in question.

"What's the best golf ball to play in cold weather?" and "Will my golf ball still perform when it's cold outside?" are a couple of questions that typically bubble up this time of year, so we went back to an earlier blog post to get some expert advice and insight from our golf ball R&D team.

As for the first question around what ball to play, the advice is pretty straightforward. Your best course of action is to play the same golf ball you typically play.

It's a common misconception that you should switch to a lower compression golf ball in colder conditions. This practice is meant to compensate for the increase in compression that occurs when a ball gets colder. If you play with balls that are at near room temperature as we suggest, this becomes a moot point. Furthermore, modern golf ball models are not sold in a choice of compressions like they were in the wound ball days, so changing compression would necessitate changing to a different model, which may have playing characteristics that are different from what you are used to.

Now, when it comes to the impact cold weather might have, it's really two separate issues to consider with regards to temperature and golf ball performance: the temperature of the air and the temperature of the golf ball.

Factor One: Cold Air

When a golf ball flies through colder air, it loses distance because cold air is denser than warm air. Colder air increases both the lift and drag forces acting on the ball, which results in a slightly higher and shorter trajectory. There is nothing a golfer can do about the effect of air temperature, besides taking it into account when planning the next shot.

Factor Two: Cold Golf Balls

Distance loss can also result from playing with cold golf balls. If a ball gets too cold, its materials can lose some resiliency, resulting in a reduction of initial velocity off the club face. Keep in mind, excessive heat can also have an effect.

To negate this effect, we recommend playing with room temperature golf balls, and storing your golf balls indoors at room temperature throughout the year. Avoid leaving your golf balls in extremely cold or hot conditions, i.e., in the trunk of your car during the winter or summer. If your golf balls are exposed to these conditions, as long as you let them return to a normal temperature gradually, they will perform the same.

If you’re playing in extremely cold conditions, it’s also a good idea to rotate a couple of golf balls hole-by-hole, keeping the idle one in a warm pocket in your jacket or pants.

Other Factors:

The exact amount of distance loss due to cold temperatures is difficult to state due to a large number of variables. However, the other factors that typically accompany cold-weather golf (i.e. cold muscles, wearing more layers, frozen ground, wind, etc.) might have a bigger impact on a golfer’s overall performance. For the air temperature effect alone, figure on a distance loss of about 1.5% per 20°F reduction in temperature. For example, for a 50°day versus a 70°day, on a 200 yard shot you would lose about 3 yards.

As always, we hope you all find this insight helpful and here's to an early Spring!

living the NE (Orchard Park NY) I try to extend my season as much as humanly possible. I chased the loss of distance due to cold and wind for more than a few years (different balls, different clothing so on). This year I finally figured it out. If I have to wear three layers its just too cold to golf, flexibility is just too difficult, chipping and putting only. However say its 40 degrees with light wind, I wear two layers, and all I do is put a sleeve of Pro V's on the dashboard of the car, turn the heater on and drive to my club. Basically get the balls heated ( to normal summertime weather) and you will have minimal loss of distance, and game on! Sure as they get cold they lose distance but that is what the the rest of the sleeve is for. Try it, I promise it works.
