The Steve Dresser Academy at True Blue Plantation in Pawleys Island will be holding informal demo days every Tuesday from 2-5 p.m. for the foreseeable future.
Test clubs will be available and representatives will be available to answer questions. A full complement of Titleist equipment, as well as clubs from Cobra, Ping and Tour Edge/Exotics are available to demo, with more on the way. Many of the product lines for 2012 will be coming available with the close of the PGA Merchandise show in Florida this past weekend.

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

Posted in General Golf Related Interest on February 9, 2011 by Steve Dresser

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….
