Playing golf with a ping pong ball - Erictelevision - 04-15-2026 08:15 AM
If you played a round of golf with a ping pong ball, how would it behave differently vs a regular golf ball?

You'd destroy it with the first tee shot. Even if it somehow survived, it would behave very erratically compared to a golf ball.

Charger: I picked ping pong ball because it’s hollow. How would a hollow golf ball behave vs a regular ball?

The golf ball's strength comes from the core, which makes sure the upward and forward momentum from the golf club is transferred upwards and forwards.

Charger: I don’t golf, so I don’t know the physics of golf. But I figured the lack of mass would mean less carry on shots.

If the ping pong ball survived the tee shot, any sort of headwind would be funny to watch.
