As KAPLOWD said, the air will be lighter and the ball will stay up there longer. When it's really hot like 90* and humidity is high like 70, balls will have a bit longer carry. If temps are low like 50* and the humidity is high, the air becomes more dense and the ball will not go as far. petter7 View Public Profile Send a private message to petter7 Find all posts by petter7
