We have the latest high-tech gear to help you perform your best. If so, you are probably looking to get every performance advantage from your gear to really rip through your runs. Maybe you are into softball. In the cases above, ceramic and materials engineers have been hard at work implementing piezoelectric technology to improve products and improve performance.
Mechanical engineers are really involved with sporting goods technology as well.
The newest golf balls are coming out with increasingly complex dimple patterns. Some small dimples, some big ones, some areas with no dimples. Of course there is a good reason for it and aerospace engineers know what it is. A dimpled golf ball creates turbulence in the air as it flies. This reduces drag compared to a smooth ball.
