  • (banging)

  • (ball piece clattering) (boy yelps in pain)

  • (man laughs)

  • (shearing music)

  • (gentle music) - Welcome back to

  • What's Inside, I'm Lincoln, this is Dan,

  • and today we are gonna cut open

  • the top golf balls of 2016.

  • - We do love golfing, and it's funny

  • because one of our very first videos was

  • Lincoln's second grade science project,

  • and we cut open a Titleist Pro V1.

  • But it was like five years old of a golf ball,

  • every golf ball is manufactured a little differently.

  • This is not sponsored by any golf company,

  • we went and bought all these golf balls.

  • Bridgestone, Titleist Pro V1,

  • Pro V1X, Callaway Chrome Soft,

  • the RZN Black Tour Nike golf ball

  • and the TaylorMade Project (a).

  • To make it a little more unique,

  • we also got these Titleist Tour Balatas.

  • These are from the '90s and there's

  • supposedly liquid inside of it and rubber bands.

  • And yes, we bought (laughs) over 300 golf balls, right here.

  • And we've got our logo right here

  • on one side, and on the other side.

  • We're going to take these golf balls

  • and we're going to have Lincoln, in the backyard,

  • make a putt with every single one of these (laughs).

  • - That's a lot of putts.

  • - Over 300, then together

  • we're gonna cut them in half, and then if you

  • come see us at the booth at CVX Live, in Orem, Utah,

  • March 25th and 26th, we will

  • give out half of the golf ball to you.

  • (wind blowing) (clattering)

  • (Lincoln laughs)

  • (pounding music)

  • Look at all those golf balls and all those boxes,

  • this is a crazy project!

  • What do you think, Lincoln, think you can make all those?

  • - [Lincoln] Yeah. - [Dan] How long

  • is it gonna take?

  • - Four hours.

  • - (laughs) Four hours.

  • OK, if Lincoln makes them,

  • I have to put them in this box,

  • if he misses them, I give them back to him,

  • he's gotta shoot it again.

  • I know a lot of you that don't golf are gonna be

  • like, "That's so easy, that's such an easy putt."

  • It's easy enough, the point of it--

  • - No!

  • - He just missed that, in a golf tournament

  • this is where you lose the most strokes,

  • is when you're within three or four feet.

  • - How about that's a rule?

  • If I miss it, you have to hit me with the golf ball.

  • - OK, I can do that.

  • - (laughs) Of course you can.

  • No!

  • Ahh.

  • (imitates explosions)

  • (ball rattling)

  • - Get out of here! (Lincoln laughs)

  • - [Lincoln] That actually hurts.

  • - [Dan] It's a golf ball, of course it hurts.

  • (Lincoln laughs) Why'd you tell me

  • to throw them at you?

  • - 'Cause I wanted to?

  • (Lincoln laughs)

  • - From there to there, that's all you had to putt it,

  • and you missed by that much.

  • (Lincoln laughs)

  • (Dan laughs)

  • - [Lincoln] Ah. - [Dan] Aw.

  • - [Lincoln] That hit my jaw! (Dan laughs)

  • (Lincoln groans)

  • - I'm a good dad, very good dad.

  • (laughs) Just a bad aim, that's all.

  • Ah!

  • OK, ow!

  • (birds singing) (traffic bustling)

  • (pounding music)

  • (Lincoln laughs)

  • - Watch!

  • - One more to go! (ball rattling)

  • (Dan groans and whimpers)

  • - What?

  • - Last one.

  • (Dan cheers)

  • (Dan sobs)

  • We're back inside the house,

  • (gentle music) here are the 300 golf balls.

  • We've got this knife that I got just off

  • of Amazon only to cut open golf balls.

  • (metal clanking) I saw this at the store

  • the other day, and thought that would be a good tool.

  • And I got this in case we need to

  • just kind of hit through it.

  • - [Lincoln] Ahh! - [Dan] If all else fails,

  • (banging) we have the

  • Dremel all hooked up and ready to go.

  • The first ball that we're gonna do is

  • the Bridgestone Tour BS, no,

  • Tour B330S,

  • is made for golfers that have swing speeds

  • of greater than 105 miles per hour.

  • Well, if your swing speed isn't fast enough,

  • there's really not a good point in using it.

  • We're just gonna take it and see if I can hack it with this.

  • - [Lincoln] OK I'm backing up. (Dan laughs)

  • - OK here we go.

  • (banging) - [Lincoln] Oh!

  • - Oh! (ball pieces clattering)

  • Grab that piece, I'll get this one.

  • Alright, here's your Tour B330S.

  • Look inside of that one, it has this

  • rubber plastic-y, it's kind of clear material,

  • it says it's a four piece ball,

  • but you just see the cover,

  • the inner part, and then that part.

  • I guess, this little clear plastic part

  • is supposedly two different types of layers,

  • but I really only see one.

  • Not bad, first try.

  • Here we go. - [Lincoln] Next one, Pro V1.

  • - [Dan] These balls are $62 for a dozen of them,

  • that's $5 and 16 cents for each ball.

  • - [Lincoln] That's a lot. - [Dan] I mean this is a $5

  • golf ball, you hit this in the pond, there's five bucks.

  • It makes your round pretty expensive, so if you're gonna

  • be using this ball, you better not just use it

  • just because it's called Pro V1 and it's Titleist.

  • You better be using it because

  • your swing speed is fast enough,

  • you're good at spinning the ball

  • and working it around the greens.

  • Otherwise it's just a big waste of money.

  • - Let's use this one for this ball.

  • Yarr. - [Dan] OK,

  • let's use this one.

  • (banging)

  • (ball rattling) Ha.

  • - [Lincoln] Almost.

  • (banging)

  • (Lincoln laughs) - Yeah!

  • (banging)

  • (ball pieces clattering) - Oh yeah!

  • - [Dan] Alright. - [Lincoln] We got it.

  • Woah! - [Dan] Look at that.

  • - [Lincoln] It's like blue. - [Dan] The Pro V1 that we cut

  • open a couple of years ago was pink

  • and this one is greenish blue.

  • - [Lincoln] And it looks like there's three layers

  • inside of this one, the outer layer,

  • and then there's a black layer, and then a blue one.

  • - Yeah, that's cool.

  • (upbeat music) Now it's time for the Pro V1X.

  • I've found that I hit this ball really far

  • and I can still work it around the green,

  • so this is my favorite ball.

  • - [Lincoln] Yeah. - [Dan] OK, Pro V1X.

  • (banging)

  • (ball piece clattering)

  • (Dan laughs) - [Lincoln] Nicked it.

  • - Nicked it.

  • Look at that ball, Pro V1X,

  • and bam!

  • Lincoln says it looks like a target.

  • (laughs) It does kind of.

  • Four layer, the outer layers are supposed to be

  • harder so that when you hit it, it goes further,

  • and then the inner layer is softer so that when

  • you're hitting it around the greens with your irons,

  • it should make it spin more.

  • Alright, next up is the Nike RZN Tour Black.

  • This golf ball is the ball that Rory McIlroy uses this year,

  • it's new, it just came out a couple of weeks ago.

  • He likes it because he says that it gives him

  • a few extra yards off the tee but then he's

  • also able to use it around the green

  • really well and have some spin to it.

  • - Or he just likes it because

  • Nike pays him 200 million dollars.

  • - (laughs) Yeah.

  • (banging)

  • (ball piece clattering) - [Lincoln] Ow!

  • (Dan laughs)

  • Alright, I'm gonna hit this one again.

  • (banging)

  • Ah (laughs). - [Lincoln] Dad,

  • look at this, this looks really cool.

  • - (laughs) It looks like an eye.

  • It's like, does that look like my eye?

  • Here.

  • (laughter)

  • So it took a few swings but I finally got around to it,

  • and check out the inside, this is a four layer golf ball.

  • You have the green, the gray, the blue.

  • That is really cool, and then the outer cover of course.

  • One thing that's unique to this golf ball

  • is that they have 344 dimples on it.

  • But if you look closely, it might be hard to see,

  • but they have micro dimples.

  • 13,558 micro dimples (laughs).

  • They say that it promotes a longer flight

  • and more stable flight.

  • - [Lincoln] That's a lot of dimples.

  • - Alright Nike.

  • There it is, what's next?

  • - The Chrome Soft Callaway golf ball,

  • this is the golf ball that I actually use.

  • - We decided to use this one for Lincoln

  • a year ago when it came out.

  • Phil Mickelson talked a lot about it because

  • it's a low compression golf ball, but inside

  • it has a core that's apparently very, very soft.

  • (banging) (ball piece clattering)

  • - [Lincoln] Oh! - [Dan] Yeah!

  • Got it, look at that, that's beautiful.

  • A four piece. - [Lincoln] Woah!

  • - [Dan] It's the cover, the yellow, the green.

  • So there you go, there's your ball, Lincoln.

  • - [Lincoln] Cool. - [Dan] Let's see how

  • that works for you this year.

  • (banging)

  • (Dan laughs) - Missed.

  • (banging)

  • (Dan laughs) I missed!

  • (ball clattering) Why is this so hard?

  • - [Dan] Right, try it again, be confident, be calm.

  • Straight up, straight down. (banging)

  • Oh!

  • Great, now, big hard hit. (banging)

  • (ball pieces clattering) (both cheer)

  • - I cut open something!

  • - [Dan] There's your Project (a) golf ball.

  • - That I cut open, woo-hoo!

  • - This is from the '90s, we got this at the golf store

  • when we were telling the guy what we were doing.

  • The problem is, there's rubber bands

  • in there that are all wound up and some liquid,

  • but then when you hit it with the blade too hard

  • or you hit it on a rock, see that ridge right there?

  • There's a bump in it, some of the rubber bands

  • inside of it will break and then your ball is uneven

  • and you have to play that way the rest of your round.

  • And so it made your putting and your hitting

  • a little inconsistent until these plastic balls came out,

  • the newer ones, back in the early 2000s.

  • (thud echoing)

  • (ball pieced clattering) Ah!

  • (Dan groans)

  • It squirted a bunch of stuff everywhere.

  • Well, the liquid's out of it, so...

  • let's give it another smack.

  • (thud echoing)

  • Oh! (crackling)

  • - [Lincoln] Oh my gosh.

  • (Lincoln laughs) (ball banging)

  • (crackling)

  • - [Dan] Listen to it crackling.

  • (Lincoln laughs)

  • - [Lincoln] That is hilarious.

  • (upbeat music) - A lot of people have said

  • in the comments that this is really

  • dangerous material inside of it, but really

  • it's not true, it's just kind of folklore.

  • This ball uses a salt water and corn syrup blend,

  • that's what's inside of it, that's what

  • the liquid was that came shooting out of it.

  • And then it's just the rubber bands.

  • So it's interesting how it all, once we cut into it,

  • that all this started collapsing on itself because

  • of all the rubber bands contracting inside.

  • (crackling)

  • - [Lincoln] It's a mini rubber band ball.

  • (crackling)

  • (buzzing)

  • (popping)

  • Woah! - [Dan] Eurgh!

  • (buzzing) Pah!

  • - [Lincoln] (laughs) It totally exploded.

  • - [Dan] Oh my gosh.

  • (buzzing)

  • (muffled crackling)

  • (thudding)

  • (muffled yelling)

  • Here we go for the Ballata old school

  • to the tailor-made golf ball, to the Callaway Chrome Soft,

  • to the Nike, to the, what is that one?

  • - [Lincoln] Pro V1.

  • - [Dan] Pro V1, the green one, and then we've got.

  • - [Lincoln] Bridgestone.

  • - [Dan] Bridgestone and the Pro V1X.

  • Which one's the coolest?

  • Which one do you like the best inside?

  • - [Lincoln] I like the Nike one because

  • it has the most colors in it.

  • - [Dan] I like the Pro V1X because that's the golf ball

  • I use and it actually looks the coolest.

  • Nike is pretty cool though, true.

  • - Yeah, I like Nike's.

  • - [Dan] The Ballata-- - [Lincoln] I mean no,

  • the Ballata is the best,

  • the Ballata is the best and the weirdest by far.

  • - So there's our golf ball test,

  • there's the difference, hopefully you guys

  • learned something, that was really interesting,

  • every ball is unique so before you just go out

  • and start golfing and using whatever ball,

  • do a little research, find a golf ball

  • that works best for you.

  • - Next thing that we have to do

  • is cut 300 golf balls in half.

  • Good luck.

  • - Yeah, I'm gonna need it.

  • And if you come to CVX Live in Orem, Utah,

  • March 25th and 26th, right, Easter weekend?

  • - [Lincoln] Yep. - [Dan] On Friday and Saturday

  • we are going to have a couple of hours

  • at a booth there and we figured, let's bring these

  • and we'll have them at our booth, and we'll give them away.

  • If nobody wants them, then we'll have

  • 600 halves of golf balls here (Lincoln laughs)

  • at our house with our logo on it,

  • that we can have forever. - [Lincoln] It'd be pretty

  • cool though. (Dan laughs)

  • (pounding music)

(banging)
