You know for a fact your 8 iron goes 150 because you hit it at the range last night. You make the ideal swing, contact is great, the trajectory is beautiful only for it to fly the green or cannon back to earth five yards short of the fringe.

Sensors then read the amount of time the two objects stay in contact with each other. The limit of time placed on golf clubs is 239 milliseconds with a tolerance of 18 milliseconds. Therefore, any golf club that measures higher than 257 milliseconds on the CT test is deemed illegal. To make it fire even faster they put a positive pressure tank on the back side and pressurize the tube with air so it can fire the golf ball at over 500 miles per hour.

We thought the only way to land a dart on a dartboard was to throw it through the air. This skilled “dartist” shows how it’s possible to place a dart right in the bullseye by tossing it into a vertical loop, where it spins around and hits the bullseye. If you have any doubt this was real, here’s the original How Ridiculous video. Tour professionals can still impart respectable velocity on 10–15 foot putts. But golfers aren’t trying to crush putts as hard as possible.

Raleigh, NC—North Carolina-based golf player development program, Operation 36, announces their next workshop for Golf Professionals who are interested in growing their golf coaching business in 2023. Once you hit 400 or 500 mph, you begin to see deformation in the ball. It’s pretty easy to toss something into a spinning fan and watch it get smashed. But how feasible is it to send an object flying through multiple fan blades and have it emerge from the other end? Leave it to the guys from How Ridiculous to find out. The guys from Australia’s How Ridiculous have made their careers out of destroying stuff.

Altitude, otherwise known as elevation, can have a drastic and observable effect on the distance a golf ball will travel through the air. For every 1000 feet (about 300 metres) you travel above sea level, you can expect roughly two yards more carry distance. So, if you are playing at an altitude of 5000 feet, you’ll definitely need to consider club choice closely, as a typical 150 yard 7-iron will actually carry about 165 yards. There are a number of possible interpretations including a defective Ping head, but it seems others are seeing similar results. Cameron Champ has the fastest ss on tour at almost 127 mph. However, he doesn’t have the fastest ball speed and isn’t the longest hitter on tour. I’ve tested most of the ’23 drivers and can tell you that the Paradym TD and Aerojet gave me the highest ball speeds.

Releasing the club properly is something that few golfers do but is the key to effortless …

USA’s Collin Morikawa checks the wind direction by throwing grass into the air during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Kasumigaseki Country Club in Kawagoe on August 1, 2021. Before the ball even hits the green, it sails through the air, putting it at the mercy of air temperature and elevation.
