Product Information

Look at various videos on-line of the Waboba, and you will see that a thrown Waboba will skip across a flat body of water with equal, or some would say, more enthusiasm than a stone. Almost a seperate isssue, I also think that the distance off center between the hole and the ball is nearly irrelevant so long as 1) that distance is more than zero so you can maintain tension and 2) You are able to get the ball deep enough to "bite".

With tennis balls you are also looking at the impact pattern from an obloid (that compresses perpendicularly to the direction of motion) and a plane ( might get a small amount of compression on a soft court, certainly some on grass) vs two spherical balls that would compress similarly.

The slow motion close-up of the smash reveals the incredible forces at play when a golf ball is fired at a piece of steel at 150mph.

The simple principle I believe is that the edge of the flattened ball is either holding or it's not - no middle ground, and if sunk deep it will hold longer. Wouldn't flattening the detent, if anything, make the pressure/tension/friction of the blade opening and closing increase?Who am I to argue against Tom Mayo and I could be way wrong (maybe someone with an engineering or physics background can chime in) but on the Cucchiara I mentioned earlier the closing of the knife doesn't seem to be any smoother than mine or any other knife for that matter. Event of the decade': Total Solar Eclipse will block out the sun for over 30 million people this year -.

Wanted to open up my detent hole a little bigger but found nothing carbide in the right size so I just took pictures and thunk 'bout it some more. If you know the duration of contact between the balls, you can fairly easily calculate the contact time if you know the speeds of the balls.
