@The Amphibinator Um, sort of. The Rockets are a component of it, to bring down extra force. However the gravity hammer is designed to manipulate gravity in a way. You can see this in halo three where it can be used to do a bit of a gravity jump or throw your teammates across the ring in griff ball.
Great video man. I love how you can see the tiny shock diamonds in the rocket engine exhaust. Oh yeah, I've heard of that "smarter every day", he's a real up-and-comer ;)
Imagine the place he bought all those motors from: “so what are you going to use all of these motors for?” Mark: “well I am going to make a rocket powered golf club”, the store: ......
Have you thought of redoing this with either GPS in the ball or using that electronic net thing that catches the ball and then measures how far it would have went?
I don't think any form of electronics in the ball could survive the hit, but perhaps a drone high enough in the sky with with a ball that's painted with something that glows in the dark, or failing that painted with something extremely reflective and give the drone a spotlight. Just have the drone fly up high enough and in the general direction the ball went and you'd be able to track it down pretty easily as long as it didn't land under a tree or something. Simpler and much cheaper than a golf radar or speed tracker.
Normal People: "Hmm, I need to improve my golfing skills...I will practice more often" Mark Rober: "Hmm, I need to improve my golfing skills...so now I will make a Rocket Powered Golf Club at 100,000 FPS"
I can imagine Mark’s neighbours having guests and there’s a golf club with a rocket attached spinning so fast the head comes flying off, and the neighbours are like, “Oh yeah, that happens”.
8:25 made me laugh hysterically. The dramatic buildup in sound as the club swings faster, then the *WHOOSH.* Then the silence before the "Where's the club?" You couldn't write a comedy better than that.
That was awesome!! I was hoping part of the slow motion footage would be about the different compression of each ball. I figured it would pancake when struck by a rocket propelled driver.
That's how Grant (The King of Random) used to do it. He had instructions for almost all of his builds/experiments. I still to this day use the one he showed me on how to make a sugar rocket. Those things really fly too! RIP Grant 😕
My favorite part of science and engineering is the failed experiments because like he says it’s a learning experience and call me a nerd but I love learning
Amazing video. I thoroughly enjoyed it....I do wish you could have recorded more statistics on ball speed, trajectory, distance etc. Would have really took the video to the next level
I wonder if you could make a golf ball with a trackable GPS inside kinda like what you did with the bowling ball guts where you hollowed it out and put electronics inside. This way you could revisit this experiment and be able to track your shots.
@BobbyCult idk,terminal velocity is a life saver sometimes,when I made the comment I was thinking of a video on if a penny would kill and I used the same thought process for a golfball,without considering a golf ball is waaaaaaay bigger than a penny
Mark, I’m sure many people have commented this already...But it’s a real bummer you didn’t track the shot data. This day and age makes it very easy to do so. :( Would have been real nice to see the swing speed, distance, launch angle, etc...
Awesome video. I wish you guys had one of those tracker cameras that golf pros use. They tell you the speed and trajectory and distance of the ball! Would have been cool. But oh well!
That just puts in perspective how insane of an athlete Kyle Berkshire is, he pushed 155-160 club head speed during long drive competition, bro is literally faster than a rocket 😭😭😂
Dude you see he hit 236mph ball speed yesterday?!! I guess he is starting to push the boundaries of launch monitors now, I guess he is having a hard time getting propperse spin readings even on the GCquad
Mark, Thank you and your team for making science cool and fun. I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense but do individual and small group tutoring for science and math subjects from grade school through undergrad (in my retirement). I spent my life working in intensive care and emergency medicine teaching doctors and nurses but doing something besides medicine is really fun! I love using your projects to teach concepts and also to encourage females to go into math and science professions.
I love it when Mark just decides to build some absolutely ridiculous and flex his engineering skills ( Oh and have fun at the same time), while the video goes crazy viral!!
Just began watching some of your videos today and have really enjoyed them, but when I came across this one? Well, after the past week that was, THIS is exactly what I needed. All the fails were funny, but #6? I must be truthful here... I laughed till I peed and while that may sound problematic, (and was) I assure you that my loud snorts and side splitting guffaws put me in a much better mood. Thank you all for making my day, my week, and my 2021 a WHOLE LOT BETTER! Peace & Health!
According to calculations I made based on the info provided in your previous video on cliff jumping, I found that the gold club flew to a total height of approximately 79.21 feet. 16(4.45/2)^2
I can't believe you didn't use the speed of the golf ball and the trajectory to calculate the estimated distance the golf ball traveled. I'm really curious about that. However, this is still an outstanding video!
Great & fun experience! Liked it! Can you try cannon throw of a ball having GPS tracker/ RF transmitter like ELT inside so that we get its trajectory and final location without visual?
I think it would have gone further with a stiffer shaft instead of using a reinforced sleeve. A XXXX stiff shaft would have allowed you to utilize the flex of the shaft for more power translation to the ball.
Mark: Dad I got a job at nasa * 9 years later * Mark’s dad: How’s nasa? Mark: I don’t work there anymore. Now I make rocket powered golf clubs Mark’s dad: * visible confusion *
I think it fell behind all those trees, near the base of the mountain because I saw it momentarily in slow mo after you lost track. I'm not sure though, it was too small for me to tell if it was a ball or not.
I wanna see the a more environmentally conscious magnetic railgun version of this, especially since your goal is space orbit I think that would be quite progressive. This was great of course though!
Dude this was far more terrifying than I expected! Thanks for letting me hang out and participate! I'm SO GLAD YOU INCLUDED THE DOINK TEST.
There gonna look at Mars rover footage and be like, “why is there a golf ball up here?”
FPS means Full Power Shot
Cool gulf club
O my gosh you’re your smarter every day I love you
Wait what I'm here after two years
“With great power comes great responsibility”
-Clearly Not Mark Rober
LMAO
noice
@Milky bruh
@MelanieMeepMoop! he is cool
More like, "With great power comes great possibilities"
Normal video: "Don't try this at home."
Mark Rober: "So, here are detailed plans on how to make a rocket propelled golf club."
Lol
@Loyalty Change like your life lol
That’s true
No haters
No haters
10:25 imagine standing on the mountain, enjoying a hike. Out of nowhere a mach 10 golf ball conks you in the head.
@Keaton Mmore like spaceballs
That ball probably went all the way over those mountains tbh.
BIG LOL x2
That's just typical Saturday morning for me
More likely they will wonder why there are golf balls in space
Imagine an alternate reality where instead of developing firearms humans just began to use swords and axes with rockets attached
@The Amphibinator Um, sort of. The Rockets are a component of it, to bring down extra force. However the gravity hammer is designed to manipulate gravity in a way. You can see this in halo three where it can be used to do a bit of a gravity jump or throw your teammates across the ring in griff ball.
Perfection.
The Doctor from Alita Battle angle
Lol
Science class: Ok let’s mix vinegar and baking soda.
Mark Rober: let’s send a golf ball to Mars.
@The Real MaZMurDa nasa already put like 4 rovers on mars like curiosity, preserverance, spirit, and oppertunity
certified trollface moment
@The Real MaZMurDa this guy already launched multiple robot's on the mars
Let's put something on Mars even before space x and nasa lol
lol
When you realize that adding a rocket to your golf club isn't against the professional rules
It will be.
Fax
@Soup-Flavored-Soup idk i just got here
@General C /r woosh
YO
I like to imagine the ISS felt a thud and were like, “Ah, must be mark again.”
@Cheryl Day it cant knock a whole pannel off tho
Repair team that's currently out there "Wait, where'd Solar Panel 1 go?"
Lol
lol
Pfffttt, that’s hilarious!
imagine someone kilometres away walks outside to be in the sun and gets thwacked with a golf ball going hundreds of kilometres a second
@Quinzee found the American
Kilometers per second is faster than the speed of sound a lot faster…
The bal would be reduced to atoms if it was going that fast
I can't tell if your serious or not
It’s impossible not to learn science and engineering while watching Mark’s videos.
“With great power, comes great watermelon smash-ability” - Mark Rober
The sound of the glass breaking was so satisfying.
Great video man. I love how you can see the tiny shock diamonds in the rocket engine exhaust. Oh yeah, I've heard of that "smarter every day", he's a real up-and-comer ;)
Legendary man wewd
Hello big Dukie
W E W D
Wewd...
Hahaha, yeah.
Unfortunately it is more like smarter every quarter of a year lul😂
Imagine the place he bought all those motors from: “so what are you going to use all of these motors for?” Mark: “well I am going to make a rocket powered golf club”, the store: ......
Those slow motion clips with the two rocket engines glowing and the ball taking off are a hoot!!!
They should do this on one of those indoor golf simulators and see the kind of shots and data they can get
The average kid: “Fails”
Mark as a kid: “ *L E A R N I N G O P E R T U N I T I E S* “
Nailed it!
@Sindri hehe ok :D
@Armaan Kothare Mark is just a kid. Go easy on him.
take this as a learning opportunity to learn the right spelling of opportunity
69 likes nice
I'm legitimately surprised it didn't just take off like a helicopter with some of those tests
Imagine being Rober's next door neighbor. *Peeks over fence and sees a golf club with a rocket attatched to it* "What da hell he doin now?"
@Cole Harding EXACTLY
No, he would be like: Yes! another invention that I might get a discount on!
1000 like baby
Omni king Zeno why did that sound so creepy
I’d be like “ *Typical Mark* “
Have you thought of redoing this with either GPS in the ball or using that electronic net thing that catches the ball and then measures how far it would have went?
@DiogoVB 24k magic
@Silver surfer 24k
@James Heaton a trackman will do all of that. For 40k
I don't think any form of electronics in the ball could survive the hit, but perhaps a drone high enough in the sky with with a ball that's painted with something that glows in the dark, or failing that painted with something extremely reflective and give the drone a spotlight.

Simpler and much cheaper than a golf radar or speed tracker.
There’s actual thing designed for this it’s called a launch monitor. It will tell the club speed, ball speed and distance
Normal People:
"Hmm, I need to improve my golfing skills...I will practice more often"
Mark Rober:
"Hmm, I need to improve my golfing skills...so now I will make a Rocket Powered Golf Club at 100,000 FPS"
I can imagine Mark’s neighbours having guests and there’s a golf club with a rocket attached spinning so fast the head comes flying off, and the neighbours are like, “Oh yeah, that happens”.
13:00 It's insane to see how fast the flame is moving compared to the rest of the slow-moving shot.
8:25 made me laugh hysterically. The dramatic buildup in sound as the club swings faster, then the *WHOOSH.* Then the silence before the "Where's the club?" You couldn't write a comedy better than that.
Golf experts : it takes years of hard work and practice to become good at golf
Mark : hold my beer
not hold my bear, hold my rocket
It takes just as long to learn mechanical engineering but oh boy does it pay off
@Knowone It's modern comedy. Hardly anything makes sense and it's still funny.
Colin Walker comedy is usually always practical. What he said makes zero sense.
Hold my pond water
That was awesome!! I was hoping part of the slow motion footage would be about the different compression of each ball. I figured it would pancake when struck by a rocket propelled driver.
Wait ! What ? Mark and Destin on the same crazy video? And Destin brings the Phanton ???
So fun. Well done guys.
should have gotten a golf club that had an integrated gps tracker within it. that would be crazy
How would that be possible though
I loved it when the club handle flew off I just died laughing 😂
*I would love to see this done again, but find and track how far that golf ball goes LOL*
Other channels: DO NOT try this at home
This channel: if you want to make this yourself, here is exactly how we did it
XD
Hacksmith does this too
James Johnson rip
That's how Grant (The King of Random) used to do it. He had instructions for almost all of his builds/experiments. I still to this day use the one he showed me on how to make a sugar rocket. Those things really fly too! RIP Grant 😕
y e s
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
My favorite part of science and engineering is the failed experiments because like he says it’s a learning experience and call me a nerd but I love learning
Amazing video. I thoroughly enjoyed it....I do wish you could have recorded more statistics on ball speed, trajectory, distance etc. Would have really took the video to the next level
That glass smashing was the most satisfying thing I've seen in ages!!!

_50 years later..._
Some guy: “Ow, something hit my head. Wait, why was a golf ball in space?”
@SE7VN X GAMING NAH
@Zachary Adams why
The golf ball is probably vaporized by now due to atmospheric reentry
@Zachary Adams hmmmm
@BobbyCult idk,terminal velocity is a life saver sometimes,when I made the comment I was thinking of a video on if a penny would kill and I used the same thought process for a golfball,without considering a golf ball is waaaaaaay bigger than a penny
Dang, that golf club entered the stratosphere. That’s history right there.
Wait did it?
ok why in the world are you here? well anyways, 👌
gotcha
Was hoping for some maths to calculate how high it went!
This is my absolute favorite channel by far!!
I REALLY wanted to see Mark take the one humans can use to a golf range to get reactions from people.
Mark, I’m sure many people have commented this already...But it’s a real bummer you didn’t track the shot data. This day and age makes it very easy to do so. :( Would have been real nice to see the swing speed, distance, launch angle, etc...
Now this is the kind of stuff that would have me watching golf!
**has worked at nasa**
**Has a degree in mechanical engineering **
**Makes rocket powered golf club**
I give you Mark Rober...
This is every single engineering major
@Zzucc That's actually how they sent Perseverance to Mars
@Gee no he does not
He was also a product designer at nassa.
E
Seeing the club fly away was hilarious, but scary! Glad no one got hurt from it!
I may not come to this channel every day, but it is in my opinion the best KZclip channel I have ever come across, thank you Mark.
12:57 note to self: don't try to use watermelons as armour against somebody with a rocket-powered golf club
I think the most impressive part was the camera toss over the breaking glass.
You should revisit this and try to track down the balls after they’re shot
No one:
Absolutely no one:
not a single soul:
Mark: *ROCKET POWERED GOLF CLUB*
Jim Nantz: I guess it checks out with the rulebook...
YES OK YES😂😂😂😂😂
Yes
Ok
Wow yes
Awesome video. I wish you guys had one of those tracker cameras that golf pros use. They tell you the speed and trajectory and distance of the ball! Would have been cool. But oh well!
That just puts in perspective how insane of an athlete Kyle Berkshire is, he pushed 155-160 club head speed during long drive competition, bro is literally faster than a rocket 😭😭😂
@Cameron Carlson yeah, it’s hard for the gc to calculate an accurate distance with that ridiculous speed into a net
@Cameron Carlson yeah I feel like bryson just needs to build him a personal range that has sensors down range and on the tee box.
@blueyeswhiteclaw yeah didn’t the gc say that he only carried it like 290 or something?
Dude you see he hit 236mph ball speed yesterday?!! I guess he is starting to push the boundaries of launch monitors now, I guess he is having a hard time getting propperse spin readings even on the GCquad
Mark, Thank you and your team for making science cool and fun. I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense but do individual and small group tutoring for science and math subjects from grade school through undergrad (in my retirement). I spent my life working in intensive care and emergency medicine teaching doctors and nurses but doing something besides medicine is really fun! I love using your projects to teach concepts and also to encourage females to go into math and science professions.
I love it when Mark just decides to build some absolutely ridiculous and flex his engineering skills ( Oh and have fun at the same time), while the video goes crazy viral!!
You should do a test in which you put measure markers up to 1000 yards and try to measure the actual distance of the golf ball. ⛳️
Kids: daaaaad... i lost my kite in the tree...
Mark: guuuuys... i lost my 3D-printed epoxy-strengthened rocket-propelled golf club in the tree...
Tiger woods sitting here like: 👁👄👁
When I was going to fly a kite when I was little my cat ripped it up
I haven’t flown a kite ever lol (only once )
Will you do it
Accurate
Stone Cloth not true it’s a square
It’s driving me nuts that you guys are hitting it so far off the toe 😅
The fact you still persevere after all them fails is amazing
I want to see a showdown between this and Stuff Made Here's bullet powered baseball bat!!
Wow, i have never seen rocket blast and watermelon in the same frame like that. that was spectacular!! hahaha.
This is exactly why Mark is my idol.
I think I speak for all of us that the longer the Mark Rober video, the better!
Yeah. Pretty much.
Thats what I have always thought too!!!👌
true
A Glimpse Inside Hell yeah
Just began watching some of your videos today and have really enjoyed them, but when I came across this one? Well, after the past week that was, THIS is exactly what I needed.

Peace & Health!
After watching the spring-loaded place kicker, I'm surprised a spring loaded club wouldn't work... It's all great fun and great to watch.
Yes 😌
wondering if you could stick a tracker in or somewhere on the golf ball to help find the ball after its orbital journey 🤔
I would love to show this to my students. If you guys were wearing lab goggles during the net test :D
According to calculations I made based on the info provided in your previous video on cliff jumping, I found that the gold club flew to a total height of approximately 79.21 feet.
16(4.45/2)^2
So I'm just saying, "Death by rocket powered golf club" would make an excellent Darwin Awards entry.
...or a prog metal band name.
lmao
All he needs to do is add Flex Tape™ for that not to happen
You've got to put a tracker in the ball so you can see how far they go
Thank you mark, this was the inspiration for a science project based on Spinlaunch that i did really well on.
Never seen anyone measure doinkage before, very scientific 10/10
I can't believe you didn't use the speed of the golf ball and the trajectory to calculate the estimated distance the golf ball traveled. I'm really curious about that. However, this is still an outstanding video!
You should take the hand-held version to the golf course, and see what kind of reactions you get when you bust it out on the first tee.
Going to quit my job and sell insurance to Marks neighbors.
@Lightning Bolt oui oui baguette
@Don B French
Lol
😂
underrated lol
regarding the golf ball setup, what was the consideration against popping it up instead or flipping from the side?
Man your engineering education lets you make anything! My dad has one too and all he makes is himself sad.. :/
tbh would be kinda weird watching him make a statue of himself crying
You have an amazing channel Mark.
Great & fun experience! Liked it! Can you try cannon throw of a ball having GPS tracker/ RF transmitter like ELT inside so that we get its trajectory and final location without visual?
I would really like to see that experiement done with a gps tracked ball, that could be insane :D LOVE the content btw ;)
I was hoping for like a GPS traceable ball or something. Would've been amazing to see exactly how far it went.
You could at least have somebody stand 450 yards or so away and try to see it land.
the internal gps would have been destroyed.
Was thinking the exact same thing
Me to
@Christian Cevallos there are already trackable balls that don't need a rubber seal
Mark’s true power: Making science fun for all.
I think it would have gone further with a stiffer shaft instead of using a reinforced sleeve. A XXXX stiff shaft would have allowed you to utilize the flex of the shaft for more power translation to the ball.
Imagine how far it’d go if you actually lined it up to the middle of the club
Man your LEGENDARY! The first video I ever seen of yours, was the squirrel obstacle course, Been a big fan ever since 👌🙌
same!!
I live for the edits and smashing watermelons in his videos
Mark: Dad I got a job at nasa
* 9 years later *
Mark’s dad: How’s nasa?
Mark: I don’t work there anymore. Now I make rocket powered golf clubs
Mark’s dad: * visible confusion *
1000th like
Lul
NighT PlayZ I know that, why else would I have said that
Fun fact: Mark's dad is happy for him still (it's so wholesome)
Golf ball works for NASA now
Can't believe he couldn't tell us how far that ball went.
I think it fell behind all those trees, near the base of the mountain because I saw it momentarily in slow mo after you lost track. I'm not sure though, it was too small for me to tell if it was a ball or not.
12:45 for some reason watching watermelons explode makes me feel very calm.
He should return to this project and use golf balls with chips in them like Top Golf uses to track speed, distance, and even spin rate!
This video still feels new even though it's been 3 years since it was released.
Imagine random golfer pass by
"Hey, your ball stuck on the tree?"
Mark:"Nah, it's just my club"
it could be:
"what? no, it's stuck on the moon."
Love it. Now lets get this on the assembly line and in store by Christmas.
I wanna see the a more environmentally conscious magnetic railgun version of this, especially since your goal is space orbit I think that would be quite progressive. This was great of course though!
hehe as an engineer i believe in fail fast and fail often ... or we are not going anywhere :) great video .. im on a Mark Rober binge here
I don’t even play golf but Mark made it look so cool lol. 🤯
If u could do this at 200mph it would be very interesting considering nobody has had that swing speed before
Mark’s neighbors: what are you doing?
Mark: building a rocket powered golf club
Mark’s neighbors: just another day in Mark’s neighborhood
Phineas and Ferb
Mark lives in Silicon Valley, he’s not the weirdest guy around.
Dd you forget the witty punchline which attracts THOUSANDS of likes? Maybe you forgot to add it...
Definitely a missed opportunity to say "Mr. Rober's Neighborhood" and lob one up for the millenials
Let’s just appreciate that this guy makes the impossible possible
Mark: I used rocket propulsion to make a club swing 150mph.
Jamie Sadlowski: I used my body to make my club swing 150mph.
Mark and Stuff Made Here should put their ideas together and make a rocket powered gun club
