I’ve never had a golf ball break on me before, but this weekend I took out a new Srixon ball and the first shot with it did not go too well. I thought I hit it badly, and it went a far shorter distance than normal. With the second shot, it split into two, firstly making it very difficult to follow because I saw a ball going off in two different directions and secondly, creating a very interesting photographic opportunity to photograph the inside of a golf ball.

I understand that there are plenty of examples like this on the Internet, where people seem to spend their time cutting open all sorts of things, or putting them in blenders and then they make videos of them, but I just do it the traditional way – by breaking the object normally! The inside of the ball is certainly much harder than I imagined it would be and the cover is much thinner.
