  • - They are 50 years old.

  • - [Dan] 50 year old golf balls!

  • (scream)

  • - Welcome back to What's Inside?

  • I am Dan and this is Lincoln.

  • - Hi.

  • - Driving the car and it's beeping at him.

  • Today we are going to see what's inside of an illegal

  • golf ball and we're gonna find out like, what makes

  • a golf ball illegal.

  • We're all the way in England at Formby Hall

  • in Southport, England and we're doing this video

  • with our friend Rick Shiels Golf, is that what

  • you call your channel, Rick Shiels Golf?

  • Or just Rick Shiels? - The one and only

  • Rick Shiels.

  • - [Dan] Rick Shiels, okay.

  • - Good to see ya, look at the weather!

  • - It is beautiful!

  • If you're somebody who enjoys golf and you're looking

  • for golf tips on what club to use, on how to fix

  • your swing, your hook, your slice, whatever it might

  • be, there's a fair chance that you've watched

  • some of Rick's videos.

  • He's always testing really really weird stuff.

  • Let's see this thing, let's see this illegal golf ball.

  • - Allow me to show you, Lincoln, come in here.

  • So this golf ball, this box, you're not gonna get

  • arrested for it.

  • - It's an entire box?

  • - Yeah, yeah - [Lincoln] All of them?

  • - Illegal golf ball, it says on the box it exceeds

  • the USGA allowance for distance, this is apparently

  • a ball that goes too far, you ready for this?

  • I'll allow you to open them.

  • - The box isn't that attractive I must admit.

  • - [Dan] It's illegal because their marketing is so bad.

  • - Ha ha ha.

  • - [Dan] Let's see this golf ball, let's see if it looks

  • any different than a regular golf ball.

  • - [Lincoln] Come on, oh, oh.

  • - [Dan] Okay first of all it's white, so

  • hey it looks pretty cool, Nitro.

  • - The one thing that you can, it might be able to audio,

  • they're like, they are quite plasticy sounding.

  • - Yeah!

  • - This should have me a chance of getting on the green,

  • this is Happy Gilmore style.

  • The USGA tests it where they hit it with a club

  • at speed of 120 miles per hour and if that ball travels

  • too far, it's deemed illegal.

  • - This illegal golf ball, the Nitro, we're going to hit

  • it as far as we can, we're gonna have Rick hit it because

  • he hits really consistently and really far.

  • But we need to test this in the real world against

  • regular golf balls so what kinda golf balls do you

  • have for us to hit today?

  • - The first ball, possibly the most famous golfer

  • on the planet and history will always have this guy

  • as the number one golfer potentially, certainly

  • if he wins Mount Haemus.

  • - [Dan] Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore.

  • (laughing)

  • - Tiger Woods golf ball.

  • - [Dan] Ooo it even says Tiger on it right there.

  • - So this is a Bridgestone golf ball.

  • - [Dan] Did you steal that from him?

  • - He doesn't lose that many so I had to go into his bag.

  • (beep)

  • This is a very, very good golf ball, it's brand new

  • and it's the one that Tiger won the Masters

  • with this year.

  • - [Dan] Nice, love how you're much better than that.

  • - A super rare ball.

  • This is possibly older than Lincoln.

  • - Oh, wow.

  • - Yep, this is a Titleist Tour Balata, one of the most

  • iconic golf balls in golf.

  • It's the one with the elastic bands in and potentially

  • with a liquid center.

  • - They're like, the rubber, right?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Rubber bands, we cut one of these open in one of our

  • golf ball videos and what was cool, Destin

  • from Smarter Every Day just shot one out of a cannon

  • at 500 miles an hour and exploded the Balata.

  • (record scratch)

  • So this is a really interesting golf ball.

  • - That is, that is a soft golf ball.

  • - [Dan] Do you bite all your golf balls before

  • you putt them?

  • And then, this, look at this box.

  • - [Lincoln] 65.

  • - Right, now I'm gonna let Lincoln open this

  • because this is a box of golf balls that I picked up

  • at Carnoustie, which hosted the Open last year.

  • I picked 'em up from the second oldest golf

  • shop in the world.

  • - Whoa.

  • - [Dan] What.

  • - These are rare, they are 50 years old.

  • - [Dan] 50 year old golf ball, guys!

  • - That belongs in a museum!

  • - [Lincoln] What in the world?

  • - [Dan] Ohhhh, look at that packaging, they're so weird.

  • - This is the packaging that golf balls used to come in.

  • - No way!

  • - You don't understand how rare that still is.

  • - Should we be really opening this up?

  • Like, you're okay with this?

  • - Dan.

  • I've saved this just for us,

  • is there any other channel in the world that we should be

  • doing it on than yours?

  • - Guys, are you serious?

  • Yes, welcome to today's video, this is gonna be a blast!

  • Let the testing begin.

  • A lot of videos are really scientific where it's like,

  • this was swung at this speed and went this far.

  • Today's goal is just to hit it as far as you can

  • there's different elements, there's the wind.

  • But yes, we will have a little bit of help from our

  • launch monitor to see how consistent his swing is.

  • We've got this really cool Garmin, look at this

  • Garmin GPS thing that you just set it on a ball

  • and then you just putt your ball within a foot of it,

  • it tells you how your speed was and everything.

  • That's pretty rad.

  • Oooo, that Tiger Woods ball, you crushed that.

  • Oh man, the wind's pushing it a little left.

  • - But we were on about speed.

  • - [Lincoln] Aw, I was so close!

  • - [Rick] Not far off.

  • - [Dan] Carry 275, estimated Roll 305.

  • - That's good, I'm happy with that one.

  • Now we're going to key illegal.

  • - [Dan] Illegal golf balls, this is the moment of truth.

  • Oh that sounded money.

  • That sounded so good.

  • - Hit on the green.

  • (laughing)

  • - [Dan] Illegal golf ball.

  • - [Lincoln] What? - [Dan] But what?

  • The results are in, same 113 Club Head speed,

  • Smash factor was higher.

  • - The ball felt harder, it definitely has like a, Lincoln

  • said like a plasticy like.

  • - Yeah.

  • - [Dan] It was loud, right?

  • - Yeah.

  • - So, I don't know if you can catch this on the vid.

  • - There's a bunch of debris on there, it's like,

  • it's like it exploded.

  • - Look, look, Lincoln's literally just wiping off,

  • wipe it off, Lincoln, you can see that.

  • I've absolutely middled it.

  • - [Dan] You don't need a 500 mile an hour cannon

  • to destroy a golf ball.

  • - Who needs that.

  • (laughing)

  • My prediction is it can't go further just 'cause

  • it's too squashy and it's 20 years old.

  • Whoa!

  • Oh, come back.

  • - [Dan] He's leaning.

  • Rick's leaning to the left there.

  • - Distance-wise, wow.

  • - [Lincoln] Wait, it's the exact same.

  • - [Rick] Well it's, that's a different shot though

  • 'cause if you remember my Club Head Speed with

  • Illegal was 113.

  • - [Dan] Yeah, you hit it.

  • - I've hit that 1 mile per hour less Club Head Speed

  • but it's actually on the same distance as Illegal.

  • - [Dan] Okay, last one.

  • (record scratch) Ohhh we gotta open it up.

  • You need to be the one opening this.

  • - [Rick] No, no, no, no.

  • - [Dan] No, no, no, you--

  • - [Rick] As, as my guest, as my guest to England, Lincoln,

  • come and open this.

  • Look at that.

  • - [Dan] First time this ball's ever been opened

  • in over 50 years.

  • - [Rick] Aw, hell.

  • Fresh air.

  • - [Lincoln] That's satisfying.

  • - [Rick] You wanna take it out?

  • - [Lincoln] Do dooo!

  • - [Rick] Look at that!

  • - [Dan] Oh wow!

  • Have you ever hit one of these in your life?

  • - Not in this perfect condition.

  • You might every now and again find one that's, you know,

  • been around for a while but that is absolutely perfect.

  • - [Dan] This is the Dunlop 65, this is a more modern

  • day golf ball, this ball is smaller than that one,

  • this ball would not even work, USGA would not let this

  • be allowed because it is smaller.

  • - There's two advantages of it being smaller, it has

  • the potential to cut through the air slightly better.

  • Two, not for this test, but it's actually slightly

  • easier to get in the hole.

  • - [Dan] Ohh, that makes sense.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I can not, for one minute, predict this is gonna go

  • over 300 yards.

  • Ahh, it's the straightest one!

  • - [Lincoln] Yeah, that's money shot.

  • - God, wow!

  • - [Lincoln] It hit further!

  • - [Dan] Awww look at that, according to the monitor.

  • 267, okay.

  • - Wow, I am shocked.

  • Off the taste it felt like a bouncy ball.

  • The flight was impressive.

  • - We're gonna take the golf cart and go down and find

  • these balls out in the wild and see which ones actually

  • went furthest, let's all three get on this cart.

  • - Fun fact, they call these buggies.

  • It's like a buggy, but they pronounce it boogy,

  • like boogers in your nose.

  • Say it, say buggy, how do you say it?

  • - Um, boo-gee.

  • (laughter)

  • - See, I told you.

  • The first one that we find is going to be the one that was

  • hit the least amount of distance.

  • - [Dan] Wait, is there water?

  • - [Rick] Yeah.

  • - [Dan] No, oh what if they're landed here.

  • - [Lincoln] Uh oh

  • - Oh I see one by the bunker, right there!

  • There she is, okay leave her there.

  • Oh wait, wait, look at this, 237 marker right here.

  • Fourth place as of now is the Dunlap, 50 year old white.

  • Here we go, Illegal golf ball was inches from the water.

  • Okay so we know that this one went further than

  • the 50 year old ball.

  • - Slightly worried about this water.

  • - Yeah this water.

  • I found the Balata and I think this one's actually

  • the shortest distance one, but we're missing Tiger Woods,

  • we're missing the very first ball.

  • The Tiger Woods ball might have gone a little bit further

  • left into the water.

  • - I've got another one, shall I nip back to the tee

  • and hit another one?

  • - He only has one more, we didn't know there was water here,

  • you need to know your golf course, there's

  • the lesson for today.

  • - I didn't even know!

  • - He didn't know there was water.

  • Rick is going to go back to the tee, we're gonna stand

  • out here in the fairway and we're gonna watch him hit it.

  • If he hits it in the water, at least we'll film

  • where it goes into the water.

  • - Okay.

  • - [Dan] All right, hit that Tiger ball, we'll be watching.

  • - Okay so I'm back on the tee with another Tiger ball,

  • let's hope this time we go find the water.

  • - [Dan] Here we go, he's swinging.

  • Keep your eye out for it, Lincoln.

  • Oh, it's coming.

  • It's coming right at us.

  • There it is!

  • Nice work!

  • It's right there!

  • It's bouncing, there's Tiger.

  • Yes, we did it!

  • What was your, oh there he goes the cart!

  • What was your Club Head Speed?

  • What was it?

  • - 113.

  • - [Dan] Okay, which one do you think went further?

  • - This is close.

  • (laughing)

  • - [Dan] It does look close, right?

  • Okay, stand there.

  • I'm gonna walk over.

  • To the ball.

  • Right here.

  • - [Rick] No way!

  • - [Dan] This is where it is, not even a yard further.

  • - Not very good in the water, is it, for the first shot.

  • See this is good, this is a good task, those two.

  • Illegal ball, I didn't give it enough credit, Dan.

  • It's got, it's better than I expected.

  • - [Dan] Yup.

  • - [Lincoln] That's a, that's such a weird bird.

  • What in the world?

  • - What's inside an illegal golf ball?

  • Nitro ball, this is like a PVC pipe cutter and it's

  • perfect for cutting golf balls open as I've learned

  • from Rick.

  • So here we go, set it in here.

  • This is, oh!

  • This is my first time using it, don't make fun of me!

  • I can do this!

  • I'm not used to using such nice tools,

  • oh look at that,

  • I need one of these in my life!

  • Hopefully they make these in America.

  • Dust.

  • Nitro dust.

  • - That's genius!

  • - Oh!

  • Isn't that amazing?

  • - [Lincoln] Yeah!

  • - Okay, that's the first question, is there anything

  • inside that makes it appear to be illegal?

  • What you're gonna see from modern day golf balls

  • is just urethane inside but the difference is

  • how hard is the urethane, how many different layers

  • some of the balls like Callaway or Titleist, they'll have

  • multiple layers to them, like maybe a softer core

  • and then a harder outside, it just varies.

  • They try to base it off of your swing speed and the type

  • of golfer you are, how much spin you put on the ball,

  • it's a lot of science.

  • There's the inside of the illegal golf ball, cheers.

  • - Next one's Tiger.

  • - Tiger Woods, is it okay if we cut open you golf ball?

  • - [Screaming Man] Nooooooo!

  • - I think he said yeah.

  • - Ey, ohhh that is cool.

  • Wow!

  • - What, this one's one layer too, well,

  • no it looks two. - This is different than any

  • golf ball we've cut open.

  • That's a layer of clear, see through, I don't even know

  • what it is, is it plastic?

  • Is it rubber?

  • - So from what I understand, Tiger had a lot of input

  • into this golf ball and he didn't like the fact that

  • golf balls feel a bit hard, he wants maximum spin,

  • total feel.

  • - Okay, now I've cut open two I think it's fair that this

  • tool, it feels very safe I think that Lincoln should

  • be able to cut one open.

  • - It's so easy.

  • It's like scissors.

  • (screams)

  • - [Dan] Did you see now?

  • - That's why you let me do it!

  • - [Dan] Keep going, you're not finished!

  • Dripping.

  • In 25 year old nastiness.

  • - This is hard.

  • Aghh!

  • Ha ha ha ha ha

  • It looked like meat!

  • I do not like the sliced up meat, it's alive!

  • What is that?

  • First it explodes in like, a bunch of liquid.

  • - [Dan] And now time for the mysterious one, Rick?

  • You get to do the honors, this is the Dunlop 65.

  • - [Rick] Iconic.

  • Dunlop.

  • 65.

  • - [Lincoln] If it explodes on your jacket

  • I'm just warning you.

  • - [Dan] No, he's got it turned.

  • - [Lincoln] Oh yeah.

  • - [Rick] I'm a pro at this.

  • - [Lincoln] It sounds like rubber, like when I

  • was cutting it.

  • - [Dan] Oh, where's the liquid?

  • - [Rick] Oh my goodness.

  • That is elastic.

  • Here we go.

  • Look at that.

  • - [Dan] Look at that.

  • 65 year, 50 year old ball right here.

  • - [Rick] Oh my goodness, that's crazy.

  • - [Dan] Aaaagh!

  • It exploded everywhere!

  • - Look at that!

  • - [Dan] It's like, it's a ball of, of uh--

  • - It's a ball inside a ball.

  • - This is iconic, as a golf fan it, it's magical

  • certainly the Dunlop 65, thanks so much for letting

  • me cut that one open 'cause that was like, I don't know

  • it's just got so much history.

  • - That was a lot of fun, make sure that you check

  • out Rick Shiels channel on YouTube, subscribe to his

  • channel, tell him that you came from us.

  • - There's probably links up there.

  • - And then check out our video on our family channel

  • from Formby Hall, we are going to be playing golf with

  • a seven foot seven tall golfer, no joke.

  • We're gonna do some challenges, we're gonna have a lot

  • of fun, big thanks to Rick Shiels for coming out here

  • today, we learned a lot about golf balls and hopefully

  • you guys learned something that'll help you become

  • a better golfer.

  • - Thanks guys, that sums it.

  • (screams)

  • - That's why you let me do it!

  • - When they did change it to the bigger size there was,

  • there was uproar!

  • They was like, how do I get it in the hole?

  • This thing's too big.

- They are 50 years old.
