No effect since they are of same size but different material thus system will remain unchanged

What happens to pendulum clocks in summer?
Because the period is based on the length of the pendulum, an increase in temperature (such as that as occurs in summer) will make the material, normally metal, in the pendulum expand - which is why better clocks often had wooden pendulum rods. Since it is longer its period increases and makes the clock run slower than normal. Numerous inventions were developed to counteract this effect, most taking advantage of the properties of thermal expansion of various materials and how they are arranged in the pendulum.

What effect does the mass of the ball have on the period of a simple pendulum What would be the effect of replacing the steel ball with a wooden ball a lead ball and a ping pong ball of the same size?
Replacing the steel ball with a wooden ball would slightly reduce the period, a lead ball would very slightly increase it and a ping pong ball would reduce the period substantially.The period of the pendulum is proportional to the [square root of] the length of the pendulum from the pivot (hanging point) to the centre of the mass of the string and the bob. For a dense material like steel or, even more so, lead, the weight of the string is negligible and the centre of mass of the-string-and-bob will be at the centre of the bob so that the effective length of the pendulum would be from the pivot to the centre of the bob. With a ping pong ball, the mass of the string is no longer quite as insignificant and so the centre of mass of the-string-and-bob will be higher than the centre of the ball and so the effective length of the pendulum will be shorter.
