better transfer of energy? since the glass ball will compress less or not at all?

yeah. it's actually a momentum thing i believe. but you don't lose as much energy with the glass because it doesn't compress (atleast not nearly as much as rubber). momentum/kinetic energy i suppose.

btw, drop a ball of glass on your mom's linoleum and see how far YOU bounce.

when a rubber ball bounces, it produces noise and heat(due to the molecules compressing then releasing. this uses alot more energy than a glass ball only producing noise, so more kinetic energy is stored.
