Answer:
The size of hailstones usually increases with the intensity of the storm cell from which they spawn. To form hailstones the size of golf balls requires over ten billion supercooled droplets be accumulated, and thus they must remain in the storm cloud for at least 5 to 10 minutes. (Compare this to the one million or so droplets needed to form the typical raindrop.) Therefore, large hail (> 5 cm / 2 inches) forms mostly in super cell thunderstorms which have strong updraft winds.
