I never in 100 years would have expected that kind of reaction to have taken place. Looks like the ball is made of rubber! I am truly and utterly astonished!

I've cut a few gold balls open just to see what's inside before and i know alot of the cheaper ones had what looked like tightly bound ball rubber bands, others had a harder more dense rubber compound. The outer shell is a type of plastic so also quite malleable.
So it doesn't supprise me in the least they behave this way when smashed against something hard.
Still pretty cool thing to see though!!!
I bet you that one won't fly as straight as it use to. Also, why is there "cricket" in the top corner?

What happens if that hits the side of your head?

I think the video shows a greater impact than when hit by a golf club. I think it shows what a golf ball is capable of when hit by something even harder. I've seen other slow mo vids. of a club face hitting a ball and it doesn't compress that much. Still very impressive.

Oke. 24 Hours ago I thought this was cool... but now I think it's not real. I have been doing 3D modeling some time ago and this video was very easy to create...about 4 hours of work + rendering time.
I happen to have a golf ball on my desk ... and if this sucker bends and deforms like that I'll hit my knee with it. If you hit it hard enough it will crack !
I don't know what to think anymore...the internet is a mean place I'm starting to think my mouse is not real

I used to cut golf balls down to the rubber bands and string them all around my room when I was a kid. It came to look like a giant spider web!! These rubber bands were miles long, it seemed like, and you could stretch them for another mile! Fun thing to do for a bored kid on a rainy afternoon. -Ah, memories...

#18 So it isn't real if it is shot out of a gun? How the bloody hell does that make it any less real?!
They've probably used an artificial launcher (read: not a golf club) to get the ball flying at a constant launch angle and velocity - to test the impact properties.
Bottom line is: how the ball was launched has nothing to do with it! It's how it reacts when it impacts steel @149mph.

Back in the late 1960's when I was a kid I lived near a golf course. A mate of mine and I used to go searching for lost golf balls and would sell them back to golfers at a fraction of the price of a new one. When we were really short of money, we would collect the odd still moving one's lol and run like feck. Some of the one's we found were damaged and worthless. I remember peeling off the white plastic covers, exposing as mentioned above tightly would elastic, it was one continuous piece about a mm wide, sometimes if you cut it with a knife it would take off like a firework the elastic firing off the ball in all directions. But the best part and this was not the case with all the balls, was that in the centre of the ball was a small squishy rubber ball, maybe half the size of a squash ball. Inside this ball was a white liquid substance, like Tippex and if you carefully made a small hole in the ball and either squeezed it or threw it against a wall, it would shoot out like a white water pistol and it would stain the wall big time. Few kids knew about this phenomenon and I remember taking one to school once and without giving away ownership, dropped it in the middle of the playground of course as boys do it was quickly spotted and adopted as a tiny football and several of them were chasing it around the playground, like they would a tennis ball. I kept my distance, knowing what would inevitably happen. Sure enough eventually one of them stamped on it and whoosh, white ink fired out, staining several legs and short trousers and producing a streak across the playground wall. I'm pretty it was still there when I left the school a year later. No one ever knew who bought the thing in and no one knew that it originally came from the inside of a golf ball.
