Okay, golf. A relaxing sport full of fresh air, cold drinks with the boys, and occasional burst of rage that turn golf clubs into improvised weapons. But that got me thinking, just how much pain and damage can a golf club actually cause? And more importantly, which one would be the most effective in a self-defense situation? Well, there’s only one way to find out, by taking full force hits from a variety of golf clubs. As always, never try anything you see in this video unless your hobby is turning recreational sports into regret, which now that I’m thinking about it, I guess that’s one of my hobbies. Pokémon packs me. I’ll just get hit with golf clubs. For this experiment, I got a lot of golf clubs to test. As you can see, we got some cheap Amazon clubs and then my girlfriend gave me her child clubs. We’re going to be testing a bunch of different methods here. But to start, I think I want a swing with the shaft of a driver. Mhm. Why? Because I think this is going to be one of the few clubs that we can actually break. Kind of like a fishing rod. Yeah. But there’s more weight on the end. And I think with my back, we can snap one. Yeah. If I swing hard enough, I think we can snap it. Just what is hard enough? Uh, this guy got to get me a little angry. You know, you’re looking a little tubby. Turn around. Mark, give me a nice little practice swing. Well, let me see where you’re swinging first. Okay. Let’s say right about here. Club head’s going to face that way. You want it this way? Yeah. You want your triceps in it? A little bit higher. You want your scapulas? Yeah, my scapulas. That’s where I want it. Okay. Right on my scaps. Right on your bone. Okay. A 50% to assess. Okay. 50% test. This is going to be bad. Yep. A Going to be bad. I don’t know if this is going to break. This is 100% certified graphite. And if it does break Oh my. It hurt most on my tricep. I told you you should You got to hide those bad boys. Maybe more. Yeah. I just want to pinch back though to like defend just, you know. Can you pinch back and raise them? Then you’re going to It’s going to wrap around and hit my funny bone. That’d be funny. It would not. It would not. Okay, we’re going to do this in increments. We’re going to go 75 then 100. This This thing seems tough. It is. That wasn’t like necessarily the most painful thing, but it was very uncomfortable. It’s going to take a lot to break. It might take a leg swing. I don’t know. Your back’s pretty strong. Thank you. You’re so kind. 75%. I’m going to do something else with my arms. Okay. This is safe. Okay. Safety advisor said at 75. 75 test. Why didn’t we slow? You got another driver. Turn over. I’m shoving this up your That was about uh about 50 yards. Good. Good swing. Oh, look at that. That’ll just sit right back on there. Yeah. Super glue that. Yeah, it’s You got threewood. Is that the ne the next largest club? Uhhuh. Only a 75% power swing. Yeah. I just saw the momentum went to the head and it snapped at the head of it. These things are a bit deceiving. They seem very sturdy. You know, I don’t know if we could snap this. That would take a lot. That’s what we said about the last one. Well, I mean, like, snap it in the center. I’m saying Oh, okay. No, I’m happy with the head flying off. Yeah. We’re going to repeat this one more time, but now with slow-mo. I want to see the head of this break in slow-mo. So, we’re going to use the 3-wood on my back once again. Same power mark. I think I could hit the head even further. Same power. Please don’t hit my house. Yeah. Good thing we don’t have the dogs out. Yes. 75. Okay. We’re done with that. We’re done with that. We’re done with that. Oh god. Oh, if you were ever close to breaking a rib, Mark, it was right there. I hit the head on the on your on your rib. Yeah, we’re not doing that again. I think I got a bruised rib. That’s a sturdier uh glove. Okay. Yeah, it’s because I hit you with the head right there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can’t see that. But how’s that look? That looks gnarly. going to look like a golf club. Going to look great in sal. Wow. Damn, that took the breath right out of me. I knew it was different as soon as you hit your lungs. I knew it was different. I’m like, that wasn’t right. That scared me a bit. I’m fine now. Yeah, I’m recovered except a weird aching pain on the side. Other than that, I’m recovered. Are you done with your back? I don’t want to get hit back there. There’s too many variables. Yeah, lot more mass. But maybe I bust my box out and see if we can break this over my leg. Yeah, that could work better. I want to see one break in slow-mo. Yeah, I can make that happen. I’m your man. You’re too kind. Let me go get my box. That’s a good idea. We’ve now moved to a child’s driver because it’s more likely to break. And I just want to see that in slow-mo. And we’re going to hit me in the leg now. Can’t break my rib doing this, right? I could burst an artery maybe. Nah. You want full power, Mr. Jones. Okay. Full beans. Full beans. That almost hit my head. Holy. That flew right by my head. That was a little dangerous. Safety advisor. What happened? Um, just happened. For our dedicated science efforts, if you guys could like the video, it would be greatly appreciated. I should wear a helmet. That was terrifying. As you can see, it’s scary enough on set uh that everyone fears for their life. So, if that doesn’t deserve a like, I don’t know what does. How’d that feel? Way better than my back, I tell you that much. It broke pretty cleanly. You almost Holy wrapped around. How far did you get? All the way to the middle. Yeah. So, that had some nice bend to it. Definitely. But you did break it, which is what I wanted. I wanted at least one break today and we got two. I just wonder how it went backwards. Hit the ground. Probably bounced. Oh, can we see it in slow-mo? So, upon further inspection, uh, Mark actually broke this driver in two places. Broke it off where it was stuck to the head and then the shaft broke as well, which I think the shaft almost hit you in the head. We should use more kids clubs. I’ll get roasted for that. Yeah, you’re right. We got to be adults here. Yeah. Uh, I say we go to irons. Sure. I’ve been humbled a little bit. Mhm. After four swings. Yep. Let’s take a look at my back here. You did two swings here, but this one in particular, uh, it’s cold. Uh, uh, this one in it’s really aching. It’s bad. Yeah, I don’t like that. The one on the lake, you know, I think the theory that my legs are dead completely inside uh, is holding true cuz that wasn’t too bad. You know what? I feel bad for the back one. I’ll give you one free swing. You I get to hit you. Oh, whoa. I hit get to hit a ball at you. Yep. Ready? This seems dangerous. He knows I ain’t going to hit him even at this close. That’s how confident I am. But I like to see you try. Well, I got my glove and golf shoes on. I’m going to take a couple practices. What do I got here? A seven. This is my This is my best club, Mark. Oh, your best club. Uh-huh. Most confident with it. I don’t That was a lot of dirt, dude. The divot was beautiful. Yeah, I bet. I bet it feels beautiful down my ass. Okay, Mark, you’re is grass, buddy. Zone in. I kind of hook hook right there. So, I’m going to You hook right. All right. Yeah, you got to adjust. You know, make sure you you got one chance, one opportunity. Here we go. All right. Turn away your head away. Let me have it. Yo, that was so damn close. Skimmed right past you. Right past my head. Now your arm like your side here. It’s one of my best swings in the past couple days. That was dangerous. I think it’s easier when I have a target. Time to get hit by an iron. We’re going to do this in two different ways. Uh you’re going to swing it like a weapon, right? Mhm. And then I’ll lay down and you actually take a swing at me. Obviously, you’re never going to do that to a person unless you already bashed them in the head and they fell over and then you’re going for the kill, I guess. I don’t know. It’s going to be interesting to hit you because usually you just hit the weight of a ball but I’m going to be hitting the weight of you. That’s really going to I’m more scared of that to be fair. Yeah, cuz I think you you build up more speed from an actual swing. But let’s hit me with the head into the leg. See how that feels first. All right. Yeah. Hit me with a flat. I like this 50 hell of a smack. We’re done with that. I always go low on your on your quad for some reason. I don’t know why. Oh my god. It’s going to leave a nice nice bruise. Oh wow. Oh, okay. I think because you got hit with the softball there a couple weeks ago. It’s a little bit higher than the actual spot you hit me. But still tender. No, no, no. These are just much worse than things I’ve been hit with. I can’t believe it. But Oh my. Okay, I need to take a seat. I like how the how the club head shows up and then the shaft shows up right here. I can’t I don’t want to get hit harder than that. That is so That was so painful. At least with the head. Dude, I’ve been hit with so many things. And humbling is I guess the only word that can come to my head. Oo, that’s welting it already. Not a full power swing. That was only 50. Imagine if that was 100. Yeah. You going for the kill? Yeah. Dang. Oh, look at that contusion though. You can kind of We can kind of measure this up here. It fits perfectly. Well, I would hopes it matches. It fits the crime. That was awful. Hit me with a shaft on the other leg. Okay. I’d do two videos next week. My body’s going to be broken. Good thing we didn’t do back to back. Not this week. Apparently, golf clubs is the worst thing I’ve done. I honestly some of the worst hits I’ve taken all year. Well, good thing we’re just getting started. No, that’s a bad thing. Hit me with a shaft of an iron. I say we stick with the same power level cuz I’m very scared now. You should be. It’s no exaggeration to say that I think that one to my leg was the worst hit I’ve taken this year. Mhm. It folded me up like a little little baby boy. Well, you’re a grown man. So, but I felt like a little baby boy. So, what does that say about me? You got a lot to learn, a lot lot to go through still. That pain reconnects you with your inner child. But I I still I heal like a 30-year-old man. You should probably get some kefir in you. Weed. It’s milk, right? Don’t club me, please. 50. Oh, you broke it. I thought your leg broke at first. That was my my bone breaking. I wasn’t expecting it to break, you know. I feel like my femur breaking would sound similar, you know. Wow. Million day difference. I’ve never seen that. Club is way worse. So, what we’ve learned here, use the club head if you’re defending yourself, not attacking someone. I always wonder what they’re made of in the center. It’s just hollow. Hollow, right? The more you know. One more test. What happens if the person is laying down, but they’re still a threat? You’re going to golf club swing them, right? Obviously, how does that feel? Yeah. Not getting hit with the iron. So, let’s do 3-wood. Yeah, we’ll use 3-wood. I think that’s a safe bet. See how that feels. We’re doing a nice nice soft 50 here. Okay. Another 50. We’re doing this, huh? You’re so strong. Sweep the leg. It’s in the neighbor’s yard now. I got extra. What? Why you do this to me, Mark? I want to distract you from the real pain. Yeah, it worked. Thank you. You’re welcome. Okay, I’m done. Except let’s hit one out of my butt cheeks. Yeah. What we’re doing next, there’s no reason for it other than we think it’s funny. I’m going to squeeze a golf tea between my butt cheeks and Mark’s going to hit a ball. It’s going to be a clean swing. No contact, right? Beautiful. Yeah. Is what we’re going for. No pain. No pain. It should be painless. That’s right. Get your ass on the ground. Can we shave off the pointed edge? Okay. Relax cheeks. Uh-huh. Can you put a golf ball on that? Yeah. Don’t move. Not moving. And away we go. Ah, we got to give that another try. You [ __ ] I I looked where he was and I knew he was feet away. My butt cheeks hurt still. Give me the tea. One more. Give me a good swing. Step over my legs. I’ll do you a good swing. All right. Don’t move. Three, two, one. That was a great hit. That was straight. No, was it? It went really far. I’m happy to hear. I think your butt cheeks really helped with it. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Well, pants off. Let’s see what we did. Yep. How are we hurting you today, Mark? Well, how do you want to hurt me? Can’t turn the question back on me. I just try to hit me with a Here, just try to hit me. All right. Okay, that’s fair. I’m bad at this sport. Don’t try this at home. Whoa, you flucked out. Damn, you’re so strong. You blew up the ball. What did Oh, I actually did, didn’t I? Holy. You got to lay off quite damn. Have you ever done that? That’s a prank ball. You son of a That’s why I told you not to hit it. Give me a real ball. I don’t want to. All right. You ready, Mark? I’m ready. Oh, another one. Damn. When do you keep getting the Where are these coming from? You got something right there. You’re lucky I can’t run right now. Where Where are they coming from? That’s all I got. I swear I only had three. And the first one you hit earlier, um, it didn’t explode. So, I was sad. Wow. You getting hurt. Oh, we’ll do a golf ball. I don’t trust your bag. That you wasted all my good swings. I’m actually terrified now, so don’t kill me. I did it. Oh, great hit. Great hit. Great hit. Well done. Oh my gosh. My best three-wood hit of my life. I’m glad you didn’t hit the spine. I’m glad that’s over with. Wow. How’d that feel? Um I think I’d rather hit get hit with a golf ball than a club based on your leg. Yeah, me too. As someone that’s been hit by golf balls. Uh the club is definitely worse. I was expecting you to hit the spine and had to be paralyzed and Well, I got a bad swing. I’m happy it just hit you. Yeah, I was I was surprised. Uh-huh. Well, check back in a couple days. Let you know what I think about golf clubs. Everybody should have a set of golf clubs at home for self-defense. That’s the TLDDR pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. It’s time for the golf club data review. 4 days after the experiment, I think the damage speaks for itself. I’ve got a massive bruise in the shape of a 3-wood on my back. Another massive bruise on my right glute. a large imprint shaped bruise from the iron on my right leg and a smaller bruise on my left leg that’s less visible but still very real. Mark didn’t walk away clean either. He’s rocking a solid bruise on his glute from the golf ball hit he took during testing. As for recovery, bending my right knee was painful for days due to extreme swelling and my back and glute were radiating pain for days after the experiment. The verdict: golf clubs are extremely dangerous and surprisingly effective as weapons. Just about any club in the bag is capable of inflicting serious pain. And in the right or wrong circumstances, I could see one being potentially lethal. So, if you ever find yourself in a fit of golf rage, maybe think twice before swinging, unless your life actually depends on it. But hey, those are just my thoughts, and I’d love to hear what you all think down in the comments. And if you want even more behindthe-scenes pain science, check out my YouTube memberships or Patreon. Links are in the description. And if you enjoyed this video, don’t miss the time I got hit with golf balls from a driver. Turns out golf balls are also dangerous. I guess golf is just a dangerous sport if you’re using all the equipment wrong, which I guess could be most sports.

I seriously underestimated how dangerous golf clubs are…
Mark is the new Naughty Dog🙄🤢🤮
hey Houston, here’s a video idea maybe. Chain mill armor versus mid evil weapons, and swords.
Mark is the best
nice croch babe
I thought the umbrella was a blow up penis balloon for a moment.
What's awesome is that Houston doesn't even get upset about any mis-swings. As bad as that insta-bruise was, that takes a very good temperament
Houston has met he’s match 😂😂😂😂😂
why didnt we sloww moooo ARGGGSDFHDOIF 🤣🤣🤣https://youtu.be/8_JCVm2serw?t=179
Incredible video gentlemen!!! I was first recommended your channel by my feed and it was getting hit by driver tee shots, been watching ever since! So glad to see you go to another golf one.
Try getting run over by the golf cart, I have always been curious as to how that would feel lol
5:41 oh lord i got flashbacks from the staple gun. If you know, you know.
That mark on Houston’s back is one of the worst looking injuries I’ve seen on him from a blunt object
I miss Houston's ass. Firecracker on ass-crack is Houston's funniest video.
Relaxing game?
I was playing some left for dead and picked up a guitar and thought “would this actually make a good self defense weapon?” I think the data would be helpful for any musician who has someone jump on stage Dave Chappell style
Holy shit what a video, but you guys need to go back to physics class and relearn about leverage, TLDR 50% power swing is going feel like 100% punch, if you swing a club the same length of your arms that is. Bc it is double the normal distance thus double the “power” aka torque
You should do a funny bone video, see what weapon causes the most pain or see if it’s all the same regardless.
I wonder if Houston would be willing to use a boomerang for science
second episode in requesting for a clumsy butler to drop items on houston
That's the clubs I use I like them alotw
Is it just me im or does Houston look like a jacked klay Thompson🚡🚡🚡🚡🚡🚡
brilliant
Love the idea behind this one getting into the season really found this experiment interesting and very valuable thank you for helping me know this for next time im at the course ly housten ❤
Abby at Joel's head
Can you scream like a girl like your old videos please. I’m not liking the whole holding in non reacting. I will dislike all videos until this is fixed.
Bro be destroying himself in the name of science 😂.
Broke exactly like spaghetti. Honestly. Try breaking a dry piece in 2 when holding both ends. I dont know the scentific term for that but the science i really cool.
Also ive been wat hing this channel for yeeeears and ive never seen Houston that shook. I think the rib shot was a little too much….
I think I want to Bust my box out- Houston, 2025
Houston vs. Squash balls
You haven't been hit with dumbbells yet. Could test bare metal VS neoprene VS rubber hex to see if the padding makes any difference.
I feel like a future video should be for Houston to take punches and kicks from UFC fighter, Bobby "King" Green
Should do the same but with fishing rods!!!! For science and maybe reel in a mosnter!!!👀👀👀
"Golf clubs are extremely dangerous and surprisingly effective as weapons."
Last Of Us 2 has entered the chat…
The ol' Joel Miller special.
Houston this is such a good concept
The fact that I got golfing midroll ads on this video is hilarious
Hey Houston haven’t tuned into your vids in Awhile but every time I see you kinda reminds me how I always wanted to have Your build and lose weight it may sound silly but I don’t even know how to or where to start tho it’d be useful bc I have health problems I really wanna live long enough to explore the world, love your vids glad this was recommended to me good to see you again bro stay rockin🔥❤️🩹
Started video
went to go grab chips
Came back to bro getting smoked at 75% by a driver 😂😂
This humbling video is hilarious to watch❤
So this week golf clubs ⛳️ next week baseball bats 🤺
I have a nerve injury that keeps me in pain, and I don’t have a choice. But here HJ chooses to be in pain. “You don’t have to watch other people in pain but…. It helps” lol
Stop tasing him man
