Video: Phantom TMX Golf Ball Compression

The Phantom TMX 7510 high-speed footage combined with MATLAB image processing results in mapping of full-field strains via digital image correlation (DIC). These videos help athletes to understand how energy transfers between a club and a golf ball, which informs on the selection of the club, the ball, and swing style and speed. Golf equipment designers also benefit from DIC analyses by gaining a better understanding between the interplay between club shape and mass, ball design, and overall performance.
