How Much Does a Golf Ball Weigh? Findings
As you can see from the graph below, the trend that shows the average golf ball gets heavier as the condition improves. What’s interesting is that the average weight difference between a new ball and one in poor condition is just 0.21 grams.
Findings
The better the condition of the ball, the heavier it will be on average. Poor balls weighed 45.72, average balls weighed 45.73, good balls weighed 45.8 and new balls weighed 45.93 on average.
Conclusion
As tedious as the weighing process was, on the whole I loved carrying out this experiment and dissecting the data. I’m happy with the outcome and believe a good variety of balls were tested in terms of both condition and manufacturer. In terms of their quality, balls ranged from beginner golf balls to top of the range models.
