Engineering the ultimate swing: how a rocket-powered golf club reached 150mph
Witness the high-speed engineering behind a golf club propelled by rockets. This video documents the iterative design process, showcasing the failures and triumphs required to achieve a swing speed of 150mph.
Rather than simply presenting a finished product, the video explores the rigorous engineering design process behind the build. The project involved overcoming six distinct types of failure before reaching a successful design.
Using high-speed footage captured on a Phantom camera by Destin, the video provides a detailed look at the mechanics of the swing. It serves as a study in persistence and technical troubleshooting.
