This is for all you enthusiasts out there. And you thought nerds didn’t have fun.




I love the watermelon shot at the end.

I'm amazed something like that took place without any beer being consumed...

They probably drank Mt. Dew. (Nerd Nectar)

Now, with a rocket assisted racket, would the stings break during impact, or would the ball be shredded by the strings? Would be interesting to find out.

Kinda like a hard boiled egg going through the wire cutter!

Do you know if that was a person tossing and hitting?

Unlikely that's it's a person if the 142 MPH is correct... that would be very high even for most pros.

Yeah wasted half my lunch watching video. Who knew a golf ball had that much give when struck, found it interesting.

I hate golfing

It is interesting how the side of the ball away from the impact collapses in a bit. Oh how I wish I had a high speed camera!

Foam Traing Ball - 150 mph 70,000 fps. Interesting reaction.



I wonder how long it takes for the vibration to dampen out.

I shot a golf ball once with a 7.62X51. I didn't find much near by. Must have scared the golf ball half to death.

If they're brand new strings, I'm guessing the ball would lose. But if the strings were going to break, they would probably break where they contact the frame.
