 What golf ball brand has the best

bounce, which in theory would
cause the golf ball to go further
when hit?

 Do golf balls that cost more money

bounce higher?
 I believe that all golf balls bounce the same
no matter what brand it is. Consumers on
the other hand believe that the more
expensive a golf ball costs, the better it will
bounce.

 On average a Titleist ball cost $4.00 per ball,

a Callaway on average cost $3.00 per ball and
a Nike ball cost $3.25 per ball.
 3 Golf Balls:
 Titleist-Callaway-Nike

 Tape Measure:
 Take each golf ball and drop it from 3 feet high and see how many
inches it bounces. Drop each brand of the golf ball 10 times to rule out
human error. Record results after each drop in inches per bounce. Then
add up all of the inches for the 10 bounces per brand of golf ball and
divide them by 10 to see which ball bounces the highest.

 Different brands of golf balls bounce differently.

 My Hypothesis was incorrect, the Titliest golf ball,

which is most expensive out bounced the Callaway
and Nike golf balls.

 If I were to do this experiment again, I would use

more brands of golf balls and drop each brand of golf
ball more times to have a better average of bounce.
