I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs YouTube channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- youtube.com/crunchlabs

Summary: We made a rocket powered golf club that can swing at 150mph. Instead of just showing the final build I wanted to walk through the engineering design process. We failed in 6 different ways before eventually getting it just right. My friend Destin came and helped out and shot some amazing high speed shots on his nice Phantom camera.

10:25 imagine standing on the mountain, enjoying a hike. Out of nowhere a mach 10 golf ball conks you in the head.
-
I like to imagine the ISS felt a thud and were like, “Ah, must be mark again.”
-
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...
-
Suprised you didn't put a GPS tracker on the ball.
-
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 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”.
-
I was relaxing then this golf ball smashed through my wall, broke my tv and both my legs. I live in Australia btw
-
When you realize that adding a rocket to your golf club isn't against the professional rules
-
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.

One small step for man, one large step for... Wait... Why is there a golf ball here!?
-
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!
-
Wait ! What ? Mark and Destin on the same crazy video? And Destin brings the Phanton ??? So fun. Well done guys.

No one: Absolutely no one: not a single soul: Mark: ROCKET POWERED GOLF CLUB

My mind is blown. How could they do all of that work and not be prepared to measure the distance of the drive?
-
Thank you mark, this was the inspiration for a science project based on Spinlaunch that i did really well on.
