Like they said in the video, it's a metallic glass. It's made by cooling molten metal rapidly which prevents it from forming a crystalline structure. Depending on temperature and the material glass can be either brittle or elastic. This is very elastic, and only absorbs a small amount of energy on each hit.
Glass is also known as a supercooled liquid as it is cooled beyond the freezing point without characteristic freezing, so it is aptly named, though maybe not intuitive to the common person.

and what the hell is pop steel? This is metal that has been coll at something like 1000 degrees per second causing the micostructure to be amorphous, or in a glassy state which makes it very stiff, and the reason the ball bounces for so long is that energy is rebounded and not obsorbed into the metal

Should we actually listen to what you're saying? I mean come on, you can't even spell "known" right.

Now that was cool. Was the ball bearing? Can you make a "liquid metal" bearing and do the same test?
