Thank you for this thorough explanation. Every GIF needs someone like you around to explain.

The core of the old balls was hard.

Citation: I was a kid and we used to unwind those things whenever we got a chance. HUGE mess but fun when you're 10.

I once got into one with a hacksaw, bits of rubber band went flying everywhere. I threw it in the shed and ran.

There's no way any cover would be able to handle this kind of stress, much less a balata cover. I remember being able to use my fingernail to cut those stupid things.

Every time I look at things in slow motion, I'm always amazed at how... wobbly the world is.

[–]xx0ur3n 3 points4 points ago

I'm amazed at how some people can't think for a second.

Of course things vibrate when they are struck, how do you think sound is conducted? A metal that has the property of flexing will indeed, flex. An organic, fatty, and bulbous tissue will indeed wobble, because it's not necessarily anchored down but more so attached at various points along the muscles of the skull.

Your points do not prove anything, at all. A golf ball does not flex, but shatters. Can you flex a piece of chalk? No, it shatters. Different materials have different properties (duh), it's evident the object in the gif is not actually a real golf ball.

that doesn't mean the golf ball would shatter. It's still flexible (though not as much as is shown in the gif. As shown in another comment, here is a real golf ball hitting steel at 150mph: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00I2uXDxbaE&feature=related

Energy dissipation through matter, yes, I get it. It's just not as obvious on the human vision scale how things really move, was my point. It's neat to see how they do.
