Abstract

This sheet deals with characteristics of the oblique impact system, which is composed of the golf ball and elastic supported flat surface . The impact system is modeled by both a nonlinear spring and a nonlinear dashpot using Hertz's contact theory. This model is applied to the oblique impact system of golf ball. The characteristics of the oblique impact were obtained by using this model. The results show that the spin rate increased in proportion to the angle of incidence and impact velocity. Also, in the case of increase the tangential stiffness, the spin rate was decreased and the angel of reflection was increased.
