high tech sports viewing

this post probably is not interesting to most of my readers so i will keep it brief. i just wanted to voice my praise for the super slow motion cameras being used by major networks while filming sporting events. i had seen it on fox and espn while watching baseball swings, but i just saw cbs show a golf ball leaving a sand bunker in super slow motion. i find this very interesting.

I too enjoy it. What I find interesting is that you can't make out any compression to the balls as they make contact with the bats/clubs, something that I would assume happens.

i have never really looked closely at that aspect. I will have to check it out, because I am sure it happens. I have seen the bats flex significantly...

one think i think is interesting is that when you slow it down super slowmo style you see that most good hitters, now where they start from, are almost exactly the same. its kind of cool
