dude Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 woooahh, is that legit?! Yeah man, heres the explanation in an e.mail Even the non golfers might enjoy watching this short video..........I can't imagine a golf ball doing this..... Golf Ball hitting steel plate at 150 mph. This one you will not believe, but @ 70,000 pictures a second, it will make you a believer. Whether you are a golfer or not, this is pretty amazing. I thought golf balls were fairly hard. Golfers and non golfers will be interested in seeing this. No one has a swing speed of 150 mph, including Tiger Woods who is just under 130 mph. I had no idea the golf ball compresses this much. But first a little history I recently learned: 1 - The Pro V-1 golf ball by Titleist is actually a three part ball, but you have to have a club head speed of at least 100 mph or more to be able to compress all three stages. If you don't the ball never fully compresses and you don't get the distance out of it that the pro's do. 2 - We, will get more distance out of a ball that only has two stages of compression, like the Titleist NX Tour. It is more suited to our swing speed and we can compress it upon impact and can hit it further than the Pro V-1 ball. 3 - So the secret is not to buy the most expensive balls out there because we are actually decreasing the distance we can hit the ball, unless your club head speed is over 100 mph, which unless you are 21 to 50 years old, isn't going to happen!!! Watch this video, this shows what a golf ball goes through when hit at 150 mph, it's amazing to me how long these balls last. Maybe that's why the Pros use new balls ever time they play. Remember, it's 70,000 frames per second. Click here: Golf Ball Hitting Steel At 150mph - Slow Motion (70,000 fps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Holy smokes thats unreal! You see golf balls disfigure slightly when the pros give it a wallop with the big stick, but nothing like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I am sure they are compoased of lots of strands of rubber from what I remember as a child dismantling one They are indeed a bit like a plastic coated rubber band ball. My girl I had my first crush on as a child had a cocker spaniel that used to smash its own brains in when it chewed up golf balls and then did that dog head shake thing, it would grab the elastic bandy bits and start shaking its head and despite the fact that the ball would zing off outwards and then come back and smack it all around its ears, eyes and nose it would keep going until it ate most of the ball or knocked itself senseless.
