Abstract
The gear effect arises when a ball collides with an object and the object recoils with a component of its acceleration in a direction parallel to the two contacting surfaces. Two experiments are described that show how the surfaces of the ball and the object can engage without slip similar to two gears. The effect is used in golf to correct for off-center impacts and it plays a minor role in baseball.
