Title: Golf Ball Testing
Inventor: JAMES GOUGH
IPC: G01P3/68
Filed: 2017-06-01
Abstract: A method for determining the initial velocity (IV) of a golf ball comprising: projecting a golf ball toward an impact surface at a first inbound speed, measuring the inbound speed of the golf ball and measuring the outbound speed of the golf ball after rebounding from the impact surface. This is followed by projecting the golf ball toward an impact surface at a second inbound speed and measuring a second inbound and outbound speed of the golf ball. This is followed by calculating the coefficient of restitution (CoR) of the ball at the first inbound speed, calculating the coefficient of restitution at the second inbound speed and determining the rate of change of coefficient of restitution. This is used to determine the coefficient of restitution at a third inbound speed different to the first and second speeds and the initial velocity of the ball calculated therefrom. The CoR at the third speed may be determined by interpolation or extrapolation. The golf ball may be projected at an angle of 75° to 90°.
