Here’s a chart that I created with the assistance of the engineers at PING. It’s tremendous easy and straightforward to recollect – simply the way in which I prefer it!
Temperature Information:
-
Most of our membership carry distances are acquired in temperatures near 75º F (24º C)
-
For each 10º under 75º every membership in your bag will CARRY (roughly) 2 yds shorter
-
For each 10º above 75º every membership in your bag will CARRY (roughly) 2 yds longer
-
It is a rule of thumb that can assist you make higher knowledgeable membership choice decisions
Please remember that this doesn’t think about wind, altitude or the human issue of much less/extra pace era in colder/hotter temperatures. That is strictly how the carry distance is affected in differing temperatures.
The first purpose for the variations we see is that temperature can have an effect on the air density, which, in flip, impacts the golf ball’s flight. Because the temperature will increase, the air turns into much less dense, leading to a lower in air resistance. This discount in air resistance permits the golf ball to journey farther by means of the air. Conversely, because the temperature decreases, the air turns into denser, growing the air resistance and decreasing the space that the golf ball will journey.
