This is a video of maker of things The Q using math to construct an elliptical pool table that sinks every shot from a spray painted dot on the table, provided you hit the ball hard enough and not just barely tap it to prove him wrong and win a
This is a very impressively designed LEGO Great Ball Contraption (GBC) module built by Youtuber NDL-GBC featuring minifigs shootings the balls like basketballs thanks to their spring legs — real LEGO minifig pieces that were made in the early 2000’s for basketball themed sets.

This is a video of Action Lab’s James Orgill dropping a steel ball and ping-pong ball on one of the world’s bounciest surfaces to see how long they’ll bounce for. James says the surface has a coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the final to initial relative velocity between two
This is a video of Emma the psychiatric service dog letting her owner Tatiana know that her ball is stuck in the pool skimmer. I like how Emma is tall enough to stand on the bottom of the pool all casual-like. My dogs? My dogs don’t like water except for
This is a video of Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Ajdin Hrustic taking a shot on goal and getting tripped in the process, the ball returning to him while he’s on the ground, where he manages to chip it over the goaltender’s head without getting up. Talk about athleticism! For reference, I
