    When two adult engineers start giggling, then you know something really cool is about to happen.
  • @lobachevscki
    Somewhere, a material engineer who designed the newer balls is feeling very proud.
  • There is actually an industry test performed by the golf companies. It is called the "ball canon" test. They measure the coefficient of restitution of the energy transfer.
  • @halloweendad
    I love how excited Mark gets when doing stuff like this. He turns into a little kid.
  • There officially needs to be a new full time channel, with you two doing projects together.
  • @RightWingNutter
    You two are funnier every day. In other words, collaborate more often.
  • @PkGam
    This is really fascinating! I knew the more modern solid-core balls were tough, but not this tough! I expected some splitting at that speed, but nope. The older wound ball though was amazing in it's own way though in how it dismantled at that speed.

    golf ball in outer space: hey aliens: hey aliens: WHAT
  • @hhalkema
    I've used this video in class to show the difference in plastic deformation and elastic deformation. The moment the golfball hits the anvil... 'that's not a golfball, that's a golfdisk' Thanks for the awesome videos.
  • @d4mdcykey
    This is why I am addicted to channels like this, everyday objects that I was already impressed by in regards to design gets taken to the next level with demonstrations and knowledge bombs like this. Great work!
  • @schloshyjea1
    You two are awesome! It's like a superhero collaboration... but for Engineerings/YouTubers
  • @Kyrbai
    Friend: I eat golf balls for breakfast Me: don’t they hurt your teeth Friend: not if you chew them at 500mph
  • Dude,Mark and his excitement with each test is just the best,his childlike amazement at each result is the most wholesome thing ever!!!I fancy myself a big kid so when I see reactions like Mark is having here,it makes me wanna join in,so much so that my wife is watching me,watching Mark,and she is like “what are you watching that has you smiling from ear to ear”??
  • @JoyousOblivion
    This was an amazing collaboration. Both of you are amazing, wholesome, educational fun.
  • @teridactyl1250
    It only just occurred to me how close ‘Mark Rober’ and ‘Mars rover’ are
  • Ahh, stripping the vapor cloud away! Why have I never thought of that? I need to make some new cannon videos.
  • @meowwow5310
    Your videos are great. I especially liked the one about snatch blocks, very interesting, informative and helpful.
