  • i never knew topflite balls had that much spin

  • the best tee ever

  • awesome sauce!

  • you can do it with an air hose from a compressor. just hold it straight up then tilt it to the side slowly.

  • he should have used a ball with a design or a line on the ball so we could see the spinning better

  • do it with a bowling ball ya?

  • i hate to act like a know it all, but you can do this with any ball. the high velocity of air creates a low pressure steam of air, which means that the surrounding air is a high pressure system that would trap any object. it's called Bernoulli's principle. the ball isn't "resting on a stream of air" at all.

  • my science teacher used to do that with a pingpong ball.. except he just blow with his mouth straight upwards

  • lol yeah i do that when im bored :p

  • lol.. niCE!!

  • amazing......... I like how they re-capped at the end with that cool screen effect.

  • Anyone else tempted to take a bat to it while its floating?

  • HOLY COW THATS AWESOME!!!

  • what is the name of the song?

  • This is my math teacher! Sweet! Awesome video Mr.Mcconkey

  • Hello Mr. Mcconkey, I realy like the videos that you are making they are realy cool.

  • due thats my math teacher!!! hola mr.mcconckey

  • The only way to make this cooler is to have a T off with air hooked up underneath

  • works with all balls

  • wow thats so cool!

  • LOL..he is in his socks. Very cool vid!

  • it creates backspin on the ball which generates lift, physics teacher has done this. another cool thing is to attach a rope to one side of the hub on a bicycle wheel, spin the wheel while it is horizontal then lift up on the rope and the tire will spin vertically being held up only on the one side, if you have done it you know what i am talking about

  • haha no way dude. because the balls is round and symetrical, the air slowing around it creates equal areas of low pressure all around. forces are equal therefore ball does not move. air pushing ball is greater than the force of gravity. thus the ball does not fall. the wheel thing you are talking about is called gyroscopic precession.

  • wanna see somthing go wrong and the ball to shoot into his car

  • Just tried it with my tank, it actually works

  • HIT THE ball with a Cricket Bat ROFL

  • wtf

  • cool

  • THATS AWESOME! So basically just keep your hands above it until it starts spinning? I guess the dimples does something with the lift and all

  • You can do that with a ping-pong ball and your mouth if you are balanced enough.

  • rhombus1000:

    Wrong, this is an entirely different effect.

    when blowing upward you are counting on the air to create the lift needed to keep it afloat. Everyone knows you can do this. What he is showing is that you can cause the ball itself to create lift and overcome drag by spinning so quickly it actually floats in place with a 200 mph wind underneath it (not pointing up but forward). Does this make sense now?

  • comin from a teacher

  • It IS  Amazing!
