Golf Ball hitting steel 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 dont the ball never fully compresses and you dont get the distance out of it that the pros 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, isnt going to happen!!! Watch this video, this shows what a golf ball goes through when hit at 150 mph, its amazing to me how long these balls last. Maybe thats why the Pros use new balls every time they play. Remember, its 70,000 frames per second. flixxy/golf-ball-slow-motion.htm
