Let us know how far it went. Mike Dobbyn hit a 551 yard drive last year. http://tinyurl.com/2yskb9 If you can get over 300 yards, I'd say you did pretty good, given the lack of practice. Only three hundred yards? Piffle. :) |

Wait a minute. To be fair the golf ball needs to be pitched to Tom at 100mph. Not really - the golf ball will be at rest with the club - I was planning on hitting the golf ball off a T-ball T. With a baseball bat. This should be fun. |

Thank you for your support. :) I'll still willing to take the challenge, mass and velocity facts beside the point. Trying to save you some embarrassment. It's also the reason that young, flexible flyer golfers using light, titanium clubs can easily out-drive a muscle bound jock using his "Big Bertha" driver. Well, that's true. However that assumes that I'm going to be looking for the fences with right handed power. NO NO NO - I'm strictly a finesse hitter. 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. |

On a good day, I can drive a golfball close to 300 *yards*. Or at least I could several years ago. I realize the balls are different, however the baseball has the added velocity of the pitch, combined with the velocity of the bat as it is swung, so the energy transferred to the ball is the sum of the two. The lowly golf ball is stationary, yet a decent golfer can drive it over 300 yards. Eisboch |
