We are thinking of building a sling shot but thinking about constructing it in a tube (PVC pipe) to have it more accurate. We were thinking of using a bycicle inner tube for the rubber band part( we thought it would be stronger and be able to launch the ball farther). Do you think this will work?

thanks a lot! i was so worried when this project was assigned and i didnt have a clue of what to do, but now i am confident that i can do it, thanks to your help

thank you guys so much tachyon- i like your suggestion and nice picture but how would you go about attaching the golf club securely enough so that we could add weights

what kind of spring would you recommend using and where could one buy a strong spring needed to build such a device?

we have a physics project and the goal is to make a device that will play a variant of golf. we have to design a device to strike a ball into a hole using as few strokes as possible. there are going to be three holes we need to "play" with our machine- 1st 40yard straight 2nd a "dog leg" 30...

i have a similar physics project, and wanted to know what kind of device you guys ended up building and how everything worked out for you guys
