But, yes, what is going on is that we have a very bad coaching situation....in my opinion. Very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different songs, different artists, same title. We all saw how a good head coach can make a very dramatic difference . It really is a coaches league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing close to the classic that is the Marvin Gaye tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, over here it's field, not pitch, but soccer is rapidly gaining in popularity here. What's going on is I've never seen a bigger crash and burn from preseason expectations to the current sad state the Browns are in. And I've been a Browns fan since the late 1950s. A lot of the predictors had the Browns as favorites to at least make the playoffs, if not make it to the Super Bowl. Now they're going to need a miracle win the rest of their games to even have a chance, but losing to a beat up Denver team makes those odds astronomical... Baker throwing errant passes, defensive breakdowns resulting in big plays. It can't be from lack of talent, like in years past. Fans are ready to ride Kitchens out of town on a rail.

At 106 mph (I'd bet air drag at that short a distance is minimal) it takes around 0.38 of a second for baseball to travel that distance. Amazing you can even react fast enough to get out of the way.... Also likely means his arm has to be moving at that speed to launch that rocket in the first place.

I think a bat is swung at an even faster speed. And how fast does a tennis ball go, and how fast is a tennis swing of the racket. And a golf swing etc. I bet like racquet balls go even faster. And how fast can a hockey puck go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes Gipper, but as a former tennis player, it's a little more involved than that. (FWIW, John Isner currently holds the record for the fastest serve ever recorded at 157 mph) When a tennis ball hits the strings they deform, and there's a slingshot effect as they rebound, not only that, the ball deforms too as it contacts the strings. So how fast your arm is moving when you serve a tennis ball is only part of the equation. (not only that, you're snapping your wrist forward as you serve, and the physics says a little motion in your wrist is going to have a big change 18" away in racket head velocity) I'd suspect the same is true for a golf ball, but the club probably doesn't do what a tennis racket does.... I won't post the strobe picture, but a baseball deforms the same way on a home run swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 By the way, who is Geoff Jones, and and how fast can he get a bat/ball/stick/racket/club/puck/ to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why he's our newest member here. BTW, the top speed of a soccer ball kick is around 132 mph. Supposedly by Ronaldo. That means on a penalty kick from 36 feet away, the goalkeeper can't react fast enough to stop it. He has to guess before the ball is kicked, hope it's hit right at him, or pray the kicker misses the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
