Because it is too dense to bounce.
No; clay isn't extraordinarily dense, and many other, more dense, materials do bounce. Clay doesn't bounce because it has no elasticity. When it hits a surface, it deforms (as do all materials), but it doesn't bounce back. It stays deformed. Clay is a plastic material. That doesn't mean "derived from oil" but it means that it doesn't recover from deformation; it stays deformed. That's why clay is such a good medium for sculpture. It's easy to mold.

Is the bounce of a ball affected by the surface it bounces on?
Its GREATLY affected by the surface it bounces on!If you bounce it on a soft or cushioned surface like a shag carpet, the carpet will absorb a lot of the impact, and the ball will not bounce as high.On the other hand, if you bounce it on concrete, the ball's fall is not cushioned nearly as much, and as a result, bounces much higher.

What makes a golf ball bounce?
AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material.

Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.
