Do Tennis Balls Skip On Water? (JTE Short Edition)

[thewaterripper]

Next time try a waterbag when you are testing objects performing on water. When it comes to interaction on the water and playability, there is a big difference between a water absorbing bag and a ball that repells water like a tennis ball or a waterball or stress ball. The kinestetics and physics of a waterbag, impact on the water surface or a hard surface or catching a wet object are very different.

the Waboba does bounce on water, but it's not as easy as it looks!

lol wat if he fell in the water? :P

[everslim101]

Nerd.

Thanks. you have invalidated the wabobba ball patent which claims to be the first ball capable of bouncing on water.

Those con men have obviously never heard of Barnes Wallis!

[MettallicDesease]

And again will i say it, your argument is valid about the patent - But still, you would have to be almost inhumane to throw a ball at that speed down on the water like he does in tennis. If you didn't notice, he fires his whole damn power into that ball.

[Grommo]

However you can bounce a tennis ball on water just by throwing it by hand. You don't need a racquet or need to throw it too hard. Virtually any other sort of cheap ball will also bounce.

[123Bulletcrazy123]

dude have you seen proper videos of the waboba. its obvious that balls will bounce on water, but the waboba hardly needs effort to make it bounce, and as you saw with that guy serving them tennis balls and they hardly even reached a foot in height wen bouncing. with the waboba you dont need effort to make it bounce and with no effort it will reach about 1 foot easily and maybe just reaching 2? but if that guy served a waboba then it would be like 6 foot in the air. point proven homo grommo?!

[Grommo]

Big deal. I've bought Waboba balls and used them. They bounce fine sure. A hand thrown tennis ball will bounce a few times on water, as will many many other ordinary balls.

I can bounce a tennis ball over the top of my dog in the water. If they have a lycra covering they will usually bounce better as the fine rough surface causes boundary layer separation, and helps them skip.

Waboba advertises "the patented ball that bounces on water" All balls can skip on water !

idiot.... tennis balls float..... they'll skip any day, even if they're flat....

[meech35813]

brush up on your hydrodynamics icer. maybe someday you'll understand

[mdusablo]

It's so much fun playing tennis in like an inch of water. The ball practically doubles in speed once it touches the ground.

[keoblaster]

DOUCHE

[tennisthehilife]

Maybe go low and put lots of slice, maybe that will skip more.

[Daeron15]

umm you can do the same with any air filled object that floats more force apllied the harder it will bounce back spin has a really minor role on your little experiment...

[meech35813]

You underestimate the significance of topspin. Its the topspin that makes the ball skip more than once, not backspin. If the ball had backspin it would jump up higher and but only skip once. With topspin however it skips 8+ times.

[OtakuKami]

of course it would skip it floats on water...

[samurainite]

thats a prince diablo...haha...that looks like fun...hope they werent new balls...

[aznsoulxd]

is that a k factor

[lbj18]

*sorcashum*its amazing how do you do that you must use a very specail magic ones lol!

[meech35813]

Try getting more of you body weight into it (toss it out in front more). I always find that helps.

[jedi95]

Nice serves. Got a clean sound, wonder why mine don't really make nice sounds anymore.

[Daeron15]

maybe you bought a softshock lol? or better improve your tension

[bc71766]

this is so retarded... the ball floats no matter how you hit it ... so with enough force pusshing it forward and airpumped objects skipps in watter

[r00stercom]

ok professor fun-ruiner

[meech35813]

your brilliant mind missed the point of the experiment was to see if the ball would skip upon initial contact with the water NOT to see if it would float.

PS skips does not have two "p"s. Learn to spell.
