The impact of ball drop height on ball rebound height for natural turfgrass systems

<p>Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)</p> <p>Ball-surface interaction measurements are crucial for sports surfaces to ensure optimal ball play during sporting events. Ball rebound is one of the more common methods to quantify ball-surface interactions. The traditional ball rebound setup consists of dropping the ball onto the surface from two meters above the surface. However, in-games the ball drops onto the surface from numerous different heights. Therefore, the objective of this study explored how different drop heights impacts the ball rebound height across different surfaces.  </p>
