Is this the beginning of a new sport? Jörg Sprave shoots 45 Gramm golf balls with 44 meters per second…
A new slingshot has been designed specifically for that job, so it came out huge. The frame is made from a core of hardwood plywood (multiplex), but two aluminum boards have been laminated to the front and back.
The slingshot has a very unusual shape, it looks like Poseidon’s spear. That is why the slingshot carries the name “Poseidon’s Slingshot”.
The golf balls are shot into a catch box, but also through the Chrony to find out how fast they fly. At the clocked 43,78 m/s, the energy of the ball is 43 Joules, almost six times the energy of a target air rifle.

@JoergSprave
Is it also true that using multiple layers of thinner rubber is more powerful than the same thickness using less layers of thicker rubber? I vaguely remember a video on this a while ago…
