Golf Ball Hitting Steel At 150mph – Slow Motion (70,000 fps)

Here’s a video shot at 70,000 frames per second (that’s 70,000) showing a golf ball hit a steel wall at 150 mph.
 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:
 
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 NG 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
Pro’s use new balls every time they play….
