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.
