No effing way. I'm not saying it is, but that almost looks fake.

Los angeles fakers.

wut. No way it can't deform that much.

0_o. I don't see how that's possible. If it is that is awesome. I can't see the plastic on a ball warping like that without breaking though.

 

[XZeroII]

That's fake. Imagine how hard you would have to hit a solid object in order for it to do that.

 

[bommy261]

in the comments, they said it was struck at 150mph. tiger woods can hit it around 130 or so. so it would take a superhuman to strike it that hard

Me neither.

I don't believe either.

70,000 fps my ass. That is like 47,727mph.

Joke post?

70,000 fps my ass. That is like 47,727mph.

ummm seriously??? that 70000 frames per second for the recording camera. not feet per second..

Frames per second not feet.

Well, it's not being struck. It appears as if it were shot at a metal surface, and it ricocheted back.

If indeed that is real, that is what happened.

But I cannot imagine the surface of the ball being able to survive that level of deformation.

Our eye most certainly does not see how much objects deform when they are struck, as many objects deform insanely but return to their normal state almost instantly.

If that is real, I wonder if that ball proceeded to shatter.

I put one in a huge vice once, and got it nearly that flat.

As I released the vice, it just re-inflated back to normal shape.

This video at 10k fps shows deformation, but not that much. But considering its going at 150 mph in the original, I can see that the OP video might be legit

 

[coldmeat]

"Tiger woods can hit up to 130mph."
"DAMN. That's a lot of Milfs per hour!"

LMAO

 

[Mark R]

Interesting.

These guys did a similar test, at speeds of up to 137 mph with a 100 kfps camera. They didn't record anywhere near that degree of flattening.

hmmmmm mebbe a different type of golf ball is used? in that paper, it is deformed not nearly as much.

 

[sandorski]

Don't know if that was legit or not, but some things can bend beyond expectations. Perhaps y'all seen video of that Russian bridge? That was bending in a very extreme manner, I expected to see parts of Road Surface flying off at least, but it remained intact.

 

[Powermoloch]

Guys...it's real. Because youtube.com said so.

 

[dawp]

sounds like something for mythbusters to check out.

What was the temperature of the ball?

High speed allows you to see things that happen so fast that in real time your eyes don't catch it. A person getting slapped in the face recorded at 10,000 fps makes their skin look like a shirt flapping in the wind...

I guess if you put a camera over the bed fps could be faps per second.

Ever hear of a streak camera?
