AI Thread Summary
Bald players may have a slight advantage in soccer headers due to reduced "hair resistance," which could allow for a more effective transfer of energy during the collision with the ball. The discussion highlights that the hardness of the head and the technique used in striking the ball are also crucial factors. While the idea may seem humorous, the physics of the collision is considered significant. The effectiveness of headers can depend on various physical attributes and how the player executes the move. Overall, hair may play a minor role in the dynamics of heading the ball in soccer.

Well many people are probably going to laugh with this, but:

Wouldnt bald players have a slight advantage in doing better header shots, because ball loses kinetic energy due to "hair resistance" (especially talking about afana hair styles), while the collision of the ball with a bald head resembles more of an elastic collision?

Correct,but it matters how hard your gead is,fat,when you and how hit the ba
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
