Golfball Dimples on a Slug - Do they help? (AQ Slug)

[@gpcaraudio]

On the dimples, if they were more consistent and precise as a golf ball do you think the results would be different? I think the dimples may have been too deep and uneven which may have cause resistance? I'm just brainstorming here. But supposedly on golf balls the dimples reduce air turbulence making the object fly faster and further. Maybe this is a debunk? Anyone have any insite on this?

[@kilgoar]

yes, a little bit. but only if he shot them at subsonic speeds.

[@TheFootbaldd]

They have dimples to create a laminar fluid flow. Its solid fluid dynamics. Not sure about the rounds he used. We would need more information and better tests.

[@dystopianparadise5916]

A golf ball is a sphere with very accurately placed dimples of a similar depth. Those slugs were ALMOST complete spheres with randomly placed dimples with mix-matched depths plus "stabalizing" fins.There is no comparison. Although I do recall a WWII Dam-buster bomb that was golf related, possibly a proto-type with dimples, but remember they setteled on giving it some back spin before releasing it so it would stay close to the dam before detonation at depth. Anyway, great vid!

[@MrChainrule]

These tests don't really address the issue at all. Dimples may reduce wind resistance at sub-sonic speeds. I'll go out on a limb and say that at any reasonable distance for a shotgun it's going to just be a gimmick to increase the price of the slug.

[@martinmccomb5462]

The dimples are supposed to break up the rings of eddying air that form around a sphere as it passes through the air. These rings magnify the effect of the low pressure area immediately behind the ball creating drag which will slow the velocity and shorten the distance of flight.

I was patiently waiting for the results on the dimpled slug. Long before I saw it, I figured at that speed, the dimples wouldn’t do much and it didn’t. The reason I was interested at all, is that years ago I was a semi-professional surfer in Hawaii. A new concept-surfboard was being created where I had custom surfboards made. It was called the “Phazer” and its main feature was dimples on the bottom, from about halfway up and all the way to the tail. The concept of course did come from the golf ball and the aerodynamics of breaking up the surface tension of the ball, letting it travel faster with less drag. I picked up my Phazer-bottom surfboard and the concept worked. It was the fastest board I’ve ever had. But the dimple thing only worked in very glassy waves. In bumpy waves, it just rode like a normal surfboard. In glassy waves though, that thing took off like a rocket! I could hear and feel the turbulence under the board and when it kicked into overdrive I had to be ready for it, otherwise it would take off without me and leave me behind. They don’t make them anymore since surfboard technology has advance well beyond the 80’s. Anyway, it was a cool concept and it really made a difference in speed. I was hoping it would do the same thing with the slug but nope. Maybe if they invented a slug that had a top speed of 70 miles an hour, the dimples would help. Thanks for another cool video, guys.

Finally someone found a use for a harbor freight Chicago electric tool. As for the “dimpled” slugs: First off, golf balls are subsonic. Secondly, the dimples a.k.a. turbulator pits are aerodynamically engineered and precisely manufactured......unlike the drilled holes in the slugs you had. There are so many factors considered including the transition from supersonic to subsonic which is very violent.

I think the dimples would only make a difference when flying subsonic. Dimples are used as vortex makers in aerodynamics so the air stay attached to the golf ball for longer instead of detaching at the back of the ball. That would create less pressure drag in exchange to the friction drag. That sounds fun enough but at supersonic speeds things tend to change just a little LOL So we should not expect the same results. As a suggestion, if you load way less than the used in the video to reach a 700 or even 600 ft/s, we probably would see an increase in speed when using the dimpled slug.

[@buyingsummons8542]

The golf ball slug is a good idea, but it needs to more uniform to achieve the proper effect. Have a cnc machine do the dimples next time.

[@buyingsummons8542]

TAOFLEDERMAUS fair enough! Thanks for the reply.

[@Gottaculat]

Might've been slower because drilling dimples that deep adds more surface area to the slug, and more surface area means more drag. Note that golfball dimples are fairly shallow/low profile, as if made by a very large sphere rather than a tiny rotary tool burr. Shallow dimples, if done right, don't add any more surface area, and are just inverse curves maintaining the same radius as the golf ball (like when you put a slight dent in a ping pong ball). The dimples on golfballs are also VERY uniform.

[@glennthomas7435]

[@zbeekerm]

As an Aerospace engineer the “put dimples on it” thing is my biggest pet peeve. The reason it helps with the golf ball is that a sphere undergoes a “drag crisis” at a transitional Reynolds number. Re = L*v/nu This drag crisis is a sudden reduction in the drag coefficient caused because the air over the sphere becomes chaotic and mixed up which causes it to follow the shape of the the sphere better reducing pressure drag (but increasing skin friction drag). Putting dimples on a ball shot out of a gun is dumb because while L may be slightly smaller (for a sphere this is the diameter) the v, velocity, is multiple orders of magnitude higher than even the best golfer’s long drive. (Nu, the kinematic viscosity is about the same, a property of the air’s temperature and pressure.) So dimples seem to artificially increase the numerator of the Reynolds number, but for a shotgun projectile this is already at least an order of magnitude higher than a dimples golf ball. It’s extra dumb when there is a tail section/non-separating sabot because this is either acting as a fairing preventing the flow separation pressure drag the dimples could hypothetically be preventing or, in the present case, creating a sharp transition to a wake region that virtually guarantees a separated flow and low pressure wake. Also, for a sphere, the coefficient of drag is lowest at the drag Chris is point, experiencing a sharp drop relative to separated lower Re flows, but it increases again with increasing Reynolds number, and it increases monotonically! FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE STOP IT WITH THE “PUT GOLF BALL DIMPLES ON IT” TROPE! (Note: comment not directed at Jeff and other Toeflader people but society as a whole)

One surviving prototype of Barnes Wallis's bouncing bomb, has dimples like a golf ball. First the dimples went, and then a more cylindrical form was adopted. I think the dimples did something, in fact, but whatever it was, it clearly wasn't enough to justify the manufacturing cost of putting dimples in a very large and very strong steel casing. In fact, making the full-size production bomb strong enough proved to be the main problem. Smooth "Balls" were used in anger on one (of many) attacks on the Tirpitz, in the form of standard naval mines adapted for release from Halifax bombers with delayed-action fuses. The idea being that these would roll down the sides of the Fjiord, enter the water and roll under the anchored battleship. It proved impossible to get one anywhere near the target, and Wing Commander Don Bennett had to walk to Sweden to escape the Germans: an adventure he would have preferred to avoid. Dr Wallis seems to have tried everything at some point, and the successful ideas were generally the simplest.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

I'm not a shooter, so in all likelihood I'm talking nonsense, but if the point of rifling is to 'pick up' the projectile in order to get it rotating, then fins on the projectile might affect the way that it's 'picked up'. It's not as if the fins and the rifling will ever 'marry up', so couldn't they interfere with each other? As stated, I'm not a shooter, but i think i know a shooter when i see one, and Danny, great as always. Not forgetting you Jeff, for an excellent production, in every way.

[@MrJeepinZeke]

Ian Macfarlane I would think even if they don’t ‘marry up’ that the fins would still catch the rifling and have a good effect. Where I think the difference would make an effect is when the twist rate in the barrel doesn’t match the twist rate on the slug. Who knows. I did find it interesting the rifling was the worst of the three barrels.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

Zeke770 Sorry about the tardy response - I didn't ever receive a notification of your comment. I guess that's what a meant by "marry up" - I'm believe that there may be 5 to 7 rifling grooves, with a twist rate of once over perhaps 16". (Forgive me if I'm incorrect in this, however the point stands). If the projectile had 18 fins (for instance) with a 'shallower' or 'deeper' twist, then that's what I was getting at. I'm not au fait with firearms or firearm terminology, although I'm slowly getting there, but I could picture a potential issue with the rifled barrel - as was shown.

[@MrSkyl1ne]

People don't seem to understand why there are dimples in a golf ball and how they actually function. The dimples are actually only functional for the part of the golf ball that is pointing backward. The dimples at the back make sure the airflow of the air rushing over the ball stays attached to the surface of the golf ball longer, this creates a smaller low-pressure zone behind the ball and therefore causes it to have less drag. Putting dimples on part of an object that only faces forward makes no sense what so ever. The only type of bullet that could potentially profit from dimples is a spherical one, but since other shapes are proven to be superior, there is no reason for this.

[@MrZyptuous]

[@jjohnston94]

I'm not surprised the dimples didn't do anything. What they do for a golf ball is increase the aerodynamic effect of any spin, i.e., they hook or slice more, and more importantly, they get more loft from backspin.

[@20alphabet]

Excellent video with an excellent shooter!

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

20alphabet Thank you! 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@GForceTG]

The purpose of dimples on a golf ball is to increase distance by reducing wind resistance. This is accomplished by the dimples creating an air cavity that the ball rides in. It reduces wind resistance enough for the ball to maintain momentum and travel farther. The third test actually proves this. The unaltered slug began to drop due to wind drag, which is why it hit lower on the target. The dimpled slug didn't drop. The air cavity created by the dimples maintained enough momentum to carry it farther without dropping.

I honestly expected the dimpled slug to out perform the stock slug, if only a little. It seems like an extremely simple design with decent flight characteristics. I’m surprised it was discontinued. Thanks for the video, Gentlemen.

i always loved the type 99 Jap rifle my father brought home from the War. SO much kick, 7.7 if i recall , fun to shoot, ridiculously long. but fun still.

[@zacktoor1591]

Yeah, I think that they just don't like guns :(. Highly unfortunate sign of the times, I guess.

[@pkgreens_9998]

scott lund...but they are perfectly ok with letting videos pass that clearly infringe on copy rights...my 3 year old finds the dumbest stuff on KZbin, but a lot of it is Disney and marvel characters being used in foreign toddler color recognition and number/alphabet videos 🤔

It's communism.

[@scottlund4562]

22 Marksman, it is feeling like that I hate to say, and I really hate to say that... but it is their ownership even though it feels like it is public ownership. Obviously we as a segment of the population need to make ourselves count, somehow. Maybe everyone take a day to watch tons of gun videos AND click skip on the ads??? (If Jeff and the boys do not get paid much anyway???? ANY ideas anyone???

[@tubingview3251]

Try hammering in the dimples in a regular pattern instead of drilling them out in a random way. Golf balls get added speed by changing the turbulence surrounding the moving object the same way the "sharkskin" dimpled or textured coating on submarines does. Disturbing the laminar flow around the object seems to defeat some drag.. I'd be curious to see how ball slugs would perform with a regular pattern of impressed dimples and no plastic follower supposedly imparting spin for accuracy.

Got here with ads still on! Hope you're getting some revenue from them!

[@viOlatorBr]

Doc Moe The first thing I did this morning was search for reloading videos. They're still there. I don't know for how long though.

[@WJS774]

I guess the one question left unanswered is if the dimples _do_ reduce drag, would the retained velocity be greater at long range? If so, that might well make up for the reduced weight; light, high-velocity projectiles usually have greater energy than heavier slower projectiles.

If a foster slug can take out an f111, it probably could take out the thrush g10

[@benvaun1330]

meymeys vlad wait huh? How do I not know this story? When did a shotgun slug take out an F-111?

[@Destitute77]

Ben Vaun Jeff’s used some panels from an F111 as a ballistic medium in a few video’s, they didn’t stand up to slugs so well......

[@XiloTheOdd]

you might see more difference in a solid and dimple slug without the stabilization fins, jsut your standard round ball slug would probably see more effect. be it positive or negative is to be discovered. wouldnt mind seeing a slug that just has a series of holes drilled through it.

[@donaldslayton2769]

Hey Jeff, are you on full30 yet, as YT is banning videos, lots of folks are making the move

[@shrrade]

Donald Slayton what’s full30?

[@lucky43113]

Shrade all gun version of youtube

[@mrbadx19]

full 30 is lame, no menus, maybe they'll fix that, but they SUCK now.

[@rbmk__1000]

Donald Slayton gonna giv'er the full 30mms

[@taofledermaus]

We were ON Full30 for a couple years. They were cooking the books, playing with the view counts and not making any improvements to improve navigation. I pulled all my videos off in disgust. I heard the haven't paid any of their creators in 3 months.

Thanks for the video Jeff and Danny!

I'm going to make body armor out of flip phone batteries.

[@ntjgames8683]

Hello love video

[@robertbrugh8426]

If you look at a golf ball they have 400 dimples per ball. 400 being the ideal. So in order to replicate the dimpling on the slug you need to calculate surface area of golfball divided by depth/ circumference of dimple then transfer that calculation to surface area of the slug. ie smaller dimples but more of them than you had on yours. it looked like you were using a fairly big drill bit for the size of the slug. I think something with a 1.5mm square area bit would suffice.

[@Chris-vu1kh]

Great video not a bad slug
