The Effect of Drop Height on Bounce Height with Golf Balls Abstract: The effect of bounce height and drop height with a Titleist golf ball and Top Flight golf ball was observed from three different heights. The first golf ball used while conducting this experiment was the more expensive option‚ “Titleist”‚ which has a softer core and is therefore expected to have less bounce. The second golf ball used in this experiment was a ball with a different interior structure than the first. A less
