Lead Speed

[Marginmaster]

Super Arguments, but......

 

CAN IT BE DONE POll please

 

Oh and i didn't stipulate that it had to be a golf ball driven as hard as possible in a prefect trajectory, it could be a high lob shot where the trajectory would be inclinded more towards the verticle plane, meaning that the ball spead would be slow at the fulcrum of arc given greater oportunity to smack it with a lead.

In practise I would doubt it very much unless by pure luck. Golfers can be extremely accurate I know, hole in one etc, as can anglers when casting, often landing the cast within an inch or so of the mark intended if not spot on with some expert casters The ability `though to hit a moving object at high speed with another moving object, both being only a couple of inches or so, is stretching it a bit

 

Think you would need the rod fitted with a Nato laser sight or similar

Intentionally? Absolutely no way!

 

It would be impossible to work out the angles of trajectory and timing.It would be impossible to work out the "lead" (not in the weight sense!)required to hit a moving target.Yet alone be able to control the tackle enough to achieve it!

 

It would be impossible to hit a stationary target the size of a golf ball let alone a moving one.

 

In fact a bloody stupid thread! common sense tells you that it would be impossible,no need for explanations or pseudo science!

 

That said I did see a bird hit by a lead at a UKSF meet but to do it intentionally? Get real

That was nice. I was only asking for answers to a legitaimate question posed by the golfers at work, first time i've been basically told I'm an idiot on here Budgie, doesn't feel very nice.

No offence meant Marginmaster.Please accept my apologies if offence was taken.

 

Despite my words I thought the "smilies" would show that my reply was meant in the same way as the lads who tried to address the question from a "pseudo scientific" aproach.

Used to "hit" seagulls regularly at Dungie years ago They don't half explode
