The Amazing Compressing Golf Ball

By May 26, 2010December 3rd, 2014No Comments

Recently we told of a BP plan to use golf balls to fill the Gulf of Mexico oil leak. But while that idea seems not to have taken off, BusinessInsider have published a short video showing a golf ball compressing itself into near-pancake flat and regaining its shape after coming into contact at a speed of 150mph with a steel plateā€¦

What do you think?

Can a golf ball really compress itself to a near-flat state? Or is this video the product of some fancy camera trickery?
