A golf ball seems to be a solid object, incapable of flexing. But if you whack it hard enough, and film it with a fast enough camera, what appears rigid squishes and stretches like a water balloon.

Fascinating!!!
I'm sending this to my golfing friend. He'll love it.
My mind has been shattered...unlike that golf ball
That is amazing! I must show my students this!
Unbelievable, you almost think that the ball must have an internal memory. when you do this with a tomato of a Mellon they have no idea how the look like when they hit the steel plate, but the golfbal is sooo stubborn, ... he knows!
Mind = blown.
ehh... i call shenanigans on that. how do we know thats real?
It's a pancake with dimples! Gotta love physics, amazing!
O-O Holy cow...I was expecting to see even just a bit of squash on that impact...but what an eye opener! Awesome of you to plug a bit of animation reference...it's important to know when and where to exaggerate things like this...since all art - from illustrating to animating - is merely an illusion of life!
Actually, it appears that this is not the impact from a normal golf club swing, nor is it arguably a standard golf ball. The dialogue underneath the YouTube video is instructive.

Here's a more expected impact:
Pull the other one... I can imagine a golf ball denting or cracking or shattering, but not turning into a fried egg and the reforming itself!
WOW
I could not comprehend what i jstu swa..!..:;.;......
Thanks, Les: I guess the jury is out on whether it's real or not. That video you linked to of the driver seems more like what one would expect.
