What's Inside: A Golf Ball – WIRED

  1. I remember as a kid I took an old cracked golf ball apart. once I got the
    outer skin off,there were layers and layers of a rubber band like material
    wrapped around.I found the quickest way to remove these, was to hold a lit
    match under it and all the rubber bands would just go Plinkplinkplinkplink
    and fly off. and under that was a black ball, which my dad told me not to
    open because it had a poisonous chemical in it that made the ball fly
    further. But the center was like a super ball! I could slam it onto the
    concrete patio deck and it would fly higher then the house! LOL but those
    were Old skool golf balls tho
    I never found out what the secret chemical inside the center was.
