isn't center of the golf ball actually a solid mass? so while surrounding might deform, center remains...that video is highly questionable. i doubt even a tennis ball would deform like that


Depends entirely on the ball in question. Some older balls had a small solid core with rubber string wound around it. There are balls that have for example a tungsten core, but most balls on the market today are just a large urethane blob with a (often titan infused) cover. Some higher end balls have multiple layers in the core.

Oh yeah, golf balls also hold the current ball speed record in sports, after Jason Zuback managed 204 mph on an episode of Sports Science. Old record was a 188 mph Jai Alai throw.

Ergo: at high speed and filmed in slow motion, a golf ball behaves like titties

WTF?!? Really, WTF WAS THAT??

I had to go pick up a golf ball after watching this video, and even after watching the video two more times, I find it so hard to believe that can be real...

but it's not a single chunk of rubber all the way through. they are made of many different layers, and i'd be surprised that all of them could deform so much like in this video w/o breaking.

DAMN. That's a lot of Milfs per hour!

John Daly and tiger woods can hit up to 130mph


There we go, Have one of them do it.

Wow. How about the ball with a golf club?


The video's title says at 150mph. From what I read, the average speed of a club head is from 95 to 105mph for a male.

Where's a kayak when you really need one?

Right here Yeah, someone got theirs out.

We lost power to the light circuit in our house (a rental we're in for a bit) due to the amount of rain/hail causing the gutters to overflow, the water come back in under the eaves (terrible design this house) and then flow over the outside lights and outside light power switches... therefore cause them to short. They've since been completely disconnected. Oh, and we also have a dent on the front of our car thanks to one of the larger hailstones (some of them got as big as golf balls), so that's annoying.

And seemingly related... our house became overrun with millipedes... hundreds of bloody millipedes are inside the house each morning now... takes ages to clean them up.

Wonder if Maddow can shoot golf balls out of her vagina??...Just wondering....she's got the ping-pong down pat-

An exploding golf ball is fun as well.
