There is more to hitting a round ball with a bat than power - there is wrist speed (the ability to turn over the bat qiuckly) and hitting the ball square in the middle of the barrel. I wouldn't use an aluminum bat either - wood baby. However, in the interest of fairness, there is a great driving range here in Woodstock that is wide open, flat and the use of a baseball bat isn't strictly forbidden (perhaps you can tell I've done this before when one of my kids played high school golf). I also have a video camera. I think we can pull this test off. So, honor system. PS: I'm also counting on the blind hope that perhaps Mr. Duck isn't that great a golfer. :) |

There is more to hitting a round ball with a bat than power - there is wrist speed (the ability to turn over the bat qiuckly) and hitting the ball square in the middle of the barrel. I wouldn't use an aluminum bat either - wood baby. However, in the interest of fairness, there is a great driving range here in Woodstock that is wide open, flat and the use of a baseball bat isn't strictly forbidden (perhaps you can tell I've done this before when one of my kids played high school golf). I also have a video camera. I think we can pull this test off. So, honor system. PS: I'm also counting on the blind hope that perhaps Mr. Duck isn't that great a golfer. :) Nope, stick with Mythbusters. Video can be fudged. Harrumph... I'm not Bill Belichik you know. :) |

The lowly golf ball is stationary, yet a decent golfer can drive it over 300 yards. Helium filled golf ball? If I didn't have a ton of stuff to do today, I'd run some calculations. Maybe tonight. |

634 *feet* (Mickey Mantle). That's *feet*. On a good day, I can drive a golfball close to 300 *yards*. Or at least I could several years ago. Something tells me though, that you couldn't hit a baseball 300 yds with a driver. Even if you couldn't out drive a golf ball with a baseball bat, I'm guessing that you could hit it way past 634 feet. --Mike "Eisboch" wrote in message ...

Doesn't mean I can't try. *:) Just anecdotal but I had this with a golfer buddy and we tried it at his golf course driving range. As hard as I tried I couldn't hit a golf ball as far with a softball bat than either of us could with a driver. (tossed up and hit in the case of the bat). The best I cpould do was about 200 yards. I was young and pretty good hitting a softball at the time. It surprised me too. He explained it all has to do with club head speed and the difference in the weight of the balls. He also hit a golf ball farther than a super ball, we only had one super ball so it was a one shot test. I suppose if we hit over concrete the super ball may have bounced farther but the lack of "dimples" cut down on air time. Ahh, but can you place that golf ball within one minute of angle at 100 yards?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I can. It will be within one minute of angle to something. |
