(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)
