Fun. Works on necks as well.

oh yea! try it with a golf ball. but if you really want to impress me, try it with one of those super balls.

Yeah, most ball players could do that. I probably could, and I haven't played in years.

Moving this video to sme4r's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Not only do I doubt most baseball players could un-sheath, swing, and chop a chunk off a 93 mph fastball with a katana, I doubt you could consistently hit anything more than a pop up off the same pitching machine, with a bat. If an average person could do this, or even productively hit a 93 mph pitch, you would see a lot more good players in the MLB, and a lot less benchwarmers.

*Quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Shepppard.

The name of the guy is Isao Machii, he holds the Guinness World record for...I think number of cuts on a free standing tatami mat or something like that? He did a bunch of segments for this show ("Best123"), including slicing a BB in midair. See

Also, slicing an arrow in half in-flight: http://videosift.com/video/More-Amazing-Precision-Cutting-an-Arrow-mid-flight

I really don't see the point of deconstructing something like this. Guy with a katana sliced a baseball.

Ranting about how the feat isn't noteworthy, or how any old grandmother could do it, doesn't enhance the experience or contribute anything except a feeling of being exposed to a Nigel No-Friends. Yeah, yeah, the ball slicing is probably no big deal, but it's cool to watch and if you're so Goddamned antsy about it, send someone on the sift a video of you doing the same thing.

I don't think its the same, mostly because the other vid is brief and this is not. Either way the older is a dead video.
