Golf Ball Compression
| Division: | International | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Regina | | City: | Regina, SK | | School: | Thom Collegiate | | Abstract: | My question is: What effects does compression rating have on golf balls' kinetic behaviour when acted upon by an unbalanced force? Trials were conducted to discover a relationship between initial velocity and the compression rating of a golf ball. The rating for a biodegradable ball was mathematically calculated based on the graphed data, and the compression rating of the EcoBall found to be 127. |
