I have the 35th ball (basically the same as a bullitt) and it gets hot as hell in the summer, and cold enough for break your fingers off in the winter. Id stick to something like the MGW ***** that are that composite material or the FRPP leather wrapped *****.

Yes, it will get hot as hell! Mine gets hot out when it's only 80-85 degrees so I can't imagine how it would get in Texas heat! It does look cool though

If you get one, get a sock to put over it in the heat.
