Article: Does the price of a golfball correlate with the coefficient of restitution?(SOUTH CAROLINA JUNIOR ACADEMY OF SCIENCE ABSTRACTS)

Golf is a multi-billion dollar per year sport in the U.S. Amateur golfers spend enormous sums of money on clubs and balls that they feel will deliver the longest drive distances. However, the quality and efficacy of golf equipment varies widely. Accordingly, the amount of money a golfer spends on equipment ranges from just a few dollars for a single golf ball to hundreds for the best drivers. This project focused on the quality and price of several currently available golf balls. The coefficient of restitution (COR), an indirect measure of the potential distance a golf ball can be driven, was measured for six golf balls in order to determine whether there is a direct ...
