When I worked at research at John Deere they used a high speed camera with a strip film that never stopped, just streamed past the lens. A strobe was synchronized with the film and fired for each picture. The film stream was extreme, I don't even want to repeat the rate.
If you're near Moline, IL drop in at the Deere and Co. Technical Center on River Drive if it still exists. You might try calling them first. We used to talk to anyone and take them on a tour of the place. DeanS I think you could do the same in a darkish room by holding the shutter open and fixing up a trigger to fire the stobe just as the ball is hit. Maybe you could fire three precharged strobes in a timed sequence for a multiple exposure.
