The moment at which the golf ball is hit with the club face is called the moment of impact. Translated into English, it is also referred to as the impact. The moment of impact lasts only four thousandths of a second and can hardly be realized with the naked eye. A golf impact moment recorded by a high-speed camera and reproduced in super slow motion reveals interesting and astonishing details. The most incredible thing is probably the fact that the golf ball deforms very strongly when it hits the golf club. The volume of a ball is reduced by up to 50 percent at the moment of impact and then immediately expands again on take-off. The type and degree of deformation of the ball at impact depends on the type of ball, the type of club and the club head speed. Ultimately, the various impact moment factors, such as the position of the club face at impact, angle of impact, etc., play a decisive role in the success of a golf shot.
