70,000 frames per second, shown in slow motion. Incredible amount of deformity in the golf ball. The golf ball was literally flat for a few frames
Pro player swing speeds are typically at around 115-120 mph.

Cool!
Would anyone actually expect the golf ball to win?
Neat vid though.
This must be particularly interesting to Dopers. We went through this a few months ago, with the same high-speed video (although from a different site):

It is fascinating. I am familiar with the same phenomenon from some of “Doc” Edgerton’s strobe photos from decades earlier, but the high-speed video is much more graphic and much cooler.
Fake.
Aw… I was hoping it was Michael Steele.
He’s up against tea bags, not golf balls.
Enjoy,

Elaborate photoshop?
