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.
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!
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!
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteI could not comprehend what i jstu swa..!..:;.;......
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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.
ReplyDeleteThese French guys try to see if it's a fake... You might/shall/will be surprised by their results.

These French guys set up an experiment to see if the clip is a fake or if it is real...
