This is for testing the durability of golf balls, see my other ports here:

the company that helped me build this is getting:

100 PSI = 114.3 MPH 167.6 ft/sec

It fires about once every 3 seconds ...

Hi, it has no chamber, it will just be run off of the compressor. The cannon already has a regulator to shoot at 100 PSI.

I have a cannon on the way to me that I need to figure out what size compressor would be needed to run it.

Here are the details. This is an industrial machine that we built to test golf balls.

2 position/2 way valve 1" NPt 0-300 PSIg recommended.

Filter/regulator 1/2". Figure 1/2 flow rate ...

Build the cannon so it points up at 45 degree angle, have a box at end that is horizontal, fire the ball into a steel plate in the box, and then have a v mounted at the ...

That is a really nice controller, if I only knew how to user it I guess I will have to read more on the chat board.

Technician1002 - This is all very good, but there is an easier way to test this. One is a visual inspection of the outer shell. ( not very scientific but most golfers will not play with a ball that is really messed up looking... ) the second easy way if to measure the compression of the ball. The ...

Hello and thank you all for your input so far! The goal of this is to test the COR and to test the durability of the ball itself. We want to see when the ball looses compression to the point where it is unusable, or the outside shell is destroyed to not be usable either.

We intend to test multiple ...
