Coefficient of Restitution of a Squash Ball

Abstract

The coefficient of restitution of a Double Yellow Dot squash ball was examined at impact velocities ranging from 13 to 29 m/s. A high-speed camera was used with video analysis to record and analyze the motion of a squash ball as it collided against a squash court wall. It was found that there is a negative linear relationship between impact velocity and COR within this velocity range.
