This, I suspect, would require a very complex test protocol. They get away with a single test condition for drivers because titanium's material properties change very slowly with temperature. This is not true of the elastomers used in golf balls. I'm sure Solheim has access to the O'chem types that design these polymers, and maybe I'm over reacting, but it seems like testing at a single test condition would not be sufficient. Otherwise you could have a ball that tested silver at, say, 70-degrees (F) and was gold at 40. But maybe I'm not seeing the marketing opportunities here.
