Hot Biscuits Golf Ball Warmer

Test results show that balls heated to an internal temperature of 105°F to 115°F achieve optimum driving distances compared to balls measured at both lower and higher temperatures. Where previous devices have proven less reliable, the Hot Biscuits ball warmer has been extensively field-tested and produces precise and consistent results. The Hot Biscuits ball warmer can help golfers achieve increased feel, greater confidence, longer drive distances and improved scores.

Heat It Up, Hit It Longer

Hot Biscuits is all about science. The benefits of playing with warm golf balls compared to cold balls are well documented. Players for centuries have tried, unsuccessfully, to warm golf balls for improved performance. But until Hot Biscuits, no one has successfully combined the correct "core" ball temperature with a carrier designed to maximize the length of time a ball would retain its optimum temperature. Through its background in new product development, design and prototyping of heating, cooling, refrigeration and thermal management products, Rocky Research is uniquely qualified to create a product that allows golf balls to reach their true potential. Following a rigorous series of tests and retests, Rocky Research discovered the vehicle necessary to both heat golf balls and then retain their optimum heat for four hours. It is small, compact and quickly heats golf balls using a simple power source found in all cars on the road today: a cigarette lighter power point.
 

Features

•  Heats up to six balls at a time  •  Insulated carrying case maintains optimum temperature for up to four hours  •  Powered by an ordinary automobile cigarette lighter

Q and A

Q: How does temperature affect the distance that a golf ball will travel? A: Golf balls are made from a solid or liquid core with tightly-wound materials, and require a certain amount of elasticity in order to release kinetic energy during a collision (bounce). The property of elasticity is affected by temperature. Warm balls have a greater ability to flex during a collision, thereby recovering more kinetic energy than golf balls at colder temperatures. This scientific principle is called the coefficient of restitution. Simply put, the ball’s ‘bounciness’ is dependent on the elasticity of the materials, and the bouncier the ball, the farther it will travel when struck by a golf club.     Q: Does it make a difference what brand, or quality, of golf ball is used? A: Yes. Most popular golf balls on the market today are constructed similarly, usually in three or four layers over a core consisting of a small rubber ball. Some brands use a liquid or hollow core to achieve varying performance levels. Using warmed balls will consistently produce greater drive distances, although better quality balls may outperform lesser quality balls. Any performance variation based on quality, however, has little to do with the warming process.     Q: Why can’t the ball be warmed quickly in a pocket or using some other method on the course? A: Increased performance is achieved not just by warming the outside of the ball, but by warming the inside layers and core of the ball as well. If the inner core or layers are colder than the outside of the ball, the core will not compress adequately. This will result in less kinetic energy being released and will affect the ball ’s speed off the clubface.
