The Myth

THIS MYTH WAS FEATURED IN...
Episode Title: ----

Original air date: ----
Myth Title: ---- FROZEN BALLS FLY FURTHER!


Myth Description: ---- Freezing makes golf balls fly further, golf clubs hit further and keeps sharp things (scissors, knives) sharp longer.


Myth Busters on the bust: ---Jamie and Adam get to play golf while the "Build Team" get to play with knives and scissors.


Hypothesis: ---- Freezing keeps the molecular structure more compact and increases tensile strength.


Procedure/Experimental Design:--- Freeze items 1 hour through 24 hours to test best results. The guys go to the driving range (parking lot designed like it) and hit balls, basic enough. The team gets to use Grant's sword swinging robot to test knives on phone books (or something like that). Then scissors get to cutting cardboard which dulls them quickly but by freezing them.....?


Results: ---- All should be confirmed.


Conclusion: ----


Busted or Not Busted: ---- Busted/Plausible/(Confirmed)
Fan Feedback

Highlights of the bust:

  • Watching the guys style at the tee
  • Getting to watch sword swinging robots' versatility again.
