Introducing Impact Study: Golf Balls After the Swing
The Concept
Golf is pursuit. Chasing distance, accuracy, the perfect shot. The ball absorbs every attempt—driver impacts, fairway lies, rough searches, green rolls.
What happens after the swing? The ball carries evidence.
Impact Study documents golf balls as found objects. Some cracked from driver strikes. Some pristine with logos still sharp. Some revealing engineered cores when covers fracture. All isolated against white. All numbered. All preserved.
The Collection
Titleist Pro V1s and Pro V1xs. Golf's most trusted ball. Tour-level engineering. Urethane covers over compressed cores designed for distance and feel.
One Maxfli Revolution. Split along the equator. Complete structural failure—upper and lower hemispheres separated by impact force.
Personalized balls. "#1 DAD" in red letters. "MR. PAPAGIORGIO" (Vegas Vacation reference). Custom identities carried through the round.
Promotional balls. "The Saloon" from a bar in Lebanon, PA. Tournament prizes. Corporate outings. Stories from the 19th hole.
Eighteen studies. Each one different. Each one found. Each one telling the story of pursuit and impact.
The Process
Found on courses, in woods, abandoned in range bins. Collected over months. Identified, selected, documented.
White backgrounds isolate the subject. Controlled lighting reveals texture—dimple patterns, scuff marks, crack lines, faded logos. Each ball photographed as-is. No retouching. No staging. Just documentation.
The result: minimalist still life photography that transforms found objects into wall art.
The Format
Museum-quality archival prints. Black wood frames with UV-protective acrylic. Ready to hang. Sizes from Small: 12” x 16” to XL: 30” x 40”.
Perfect for home offices, man caves, modern spaces. Exceptional Father's Day gifts. Retirement presents for golfers. Wall art that celebrates the game without the clichés.
After the Swing
The swing finishes. The ball endures.
That's the premise behind Impact Studies. Golf stripped to its essential form—the sphere that carries the pursuit. Isolated. Documented. Preserved.
Eighteen numbered studies. Now available.
