nope
it's real
Le sigh.
Why does a modern golf ball react differently than one from decades ago that uses a different material and manufacturing process?
Probably a government conspiracy I guess…
Se der ja, men allikevel skikkelig styrke i den ballen
9Gag brought me here.
Is this really real? The ball has no spin…
No back spinning but cool to watch
Boing!
That was pretty neat!
I am a PGA PGM student. Can you please check out my new educational video on Rule 14-1b on my channel? The rule change is enacted on January 1, 2016
the writing just happens to be perfectly visible, and doesn't spin..
All the people saying "It isn't spinning"
Do you realize how slow this is? 1/100th of a second is about right. It wouldn't have a hugely visible spin in that little amount of time unless it was spinning incredibly fast
thank you, I've been trying to explain that ball in the other video is foam.. or possibly rubber. but I think its foam. thanks
Jiggly like Jell-O!
It looks so jiggly like my thighs!
boring
Hard to believe, mind boggling.
Since when do golftballs shift like tha
At the very beginning of the video the words are tilted to the left and at the very end the words are tilted to the right. Also it is not that hard to see it spinning. I am on mobile so maybe that makes a difference.
Excellent example of kinetic energy in motion
The ball is spinning: https://imgur.com/a/8nL3bMU
I have a hard time beleiving this if im being honest, in this case reality IS stranger than fiction
that is surprisingly wiggly for a golf ball
tennis ball throw it against the wall
Now, imagine what a person’s skull and brain look like when they get a concussion.
Why is this so oddly satisfying?
