Steel vs golf ball at 150 mph, slow motion video

Steel wins.

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? :stuck_out_tongue:

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?
