I switch to a softer, cheaper ball, cally supersoft to be specific, and I get yellow/green balls. But I don't know if that's the best solution, it just seems to makes sense since a shift in like 30* I would think makes a difference in how the rubber core feels and responds. Titleist seems to say to stick with the same ball. Maybe I will when these Callys run out.

Ben, I am an advocate for playing the same ball year round in all conditions. If you feel the same about winter conditions, you might try these. Titleist Tru Feel @ $25 a dozen in white, yellow and red. Players who want the softest possible feel above all else. Welcome to Team Titleist! cz

Does switching to a lower compression ball in colder temps help?

Nothing really helps in cold weather short of moving to the southern hemisphere. Every ball will lose distance due to ball elasticity and air pressure changes. More layers gives some restriction to the swing. Hands will get cold, even with cool temperature gloves. My state handicap system only accepts scores from April through October. There is no technical reason to stop using your current ball. But if a softer feel ball impacts elbows and wrists less, then why not? Especially if a restricted swing brings the “S” word into play. Then something like a TruFeel just to be on course works. If your home course only gets into the high 40’s for most of the winter, then you don’t need to change a thing. Playing in mid 30’s here is more of an OCD issue.

I used to switch during the winter month when it gets in the 30s (Ohio) but I found it hurt my game due. i play the prov1x and one winter I used tour speed and it was awful. way different feel spin and distance. After that i have stuck to prov1x year round.
