➤ Why would a golf ball be bouncier than a tennis ball?
A golf ball typically has a higher COR because it uses a dense, stiff core and a thin cover that recover energy quickly. A tennis ball has a pressurized, felt-covered shell that deforms more and dissipates energy as heat and internal friction. Construction and materials control how much kinetic energy converts into rebound kinetic energy.
