Rocket Powered Golf Club at 100,000 FPS

My golf game has improved.

Thanks to these folks for providing some of the music in the video:

Laura Shigihara - @supershigi

Summary: We made a rocket powered golf club that can swing at 150mph. Instead of just showing the final build I wanted to walk through the engineering design process. We failed in 6 different ways before eventually getting it just right. My friend Destin came and helped out and shot some amazing high speed shots on his nice Phantom camera.

Other channels: DO NOT try this at home

This channel: if you want to make this yourself, here is exactly how we did it

Dude this was far more terrifying than I expected! Thanks for letting me hang out and participate! I'm SO GLAD YOU INCLUDED THE DOINK TEST.

10:25 imagine standing on the mountain, enjoying a hike. Out of nowhere a mach 10 golf ball conks you in the head.

I like to imagine the ISS felt a thud and were like, “Ah, must be mark again.”

No one:
Absolutely no one:
not a single soul:
Mark: *ROCKET POWERED GOLF CLUB*

8:25 made me laugh hysterically. The dramatic buildup in sound as the club swings faster, then the *WHOOSH.* Then the silence before the "Where's the club?" You couldn't write a comedy better than that.

I think I speak for all of us that the longer the Mark Rober video, the better!

Kids: i lost my kite in the tree...

Mark: guuuuys... i lost my 3D-printed epoxy-strengthened rocket-propelled golf club in the tree...

I can imagine Mark’s neighbours having guests and there’s a golf club with a rocket attached spinning so fast the head comes flying off, and the neighbours are like, “Oh yeah, that happens”.

[letterlwithksubs]

I loved it when the club handle flew off I just died laughing 😂

10:33 minecraft cow sound.
I see you're a man of culture as well

Flatearthers: *The earth is flat*
Mark Rober: 3:35
Flatearthers: *TRIGGERED*

[coachwilson]

Wait ! What ? Mark and Destin on the same crazy video? And Destin brings the Phanton ???
So fun. Well done guys.

1:16 there is no reason to laugh so hard at this part

[ambroseallison]

6:28 Wix Literally on the ball, sneaky sponsor placement Mark

[DMegaTronMD]

My mind is blown. How could they do all of that work and not be prepared to measure the distance of the drive?

[amwf_king]

*I would love to see this done again, but find and track how far that golf ball goes LOL*

[davidlloyd]

Genius! This is one of the few Youtube Channels that actually deserves it's views and viewers. Well done!
