Incredible?

Incredibly fake, I would think.

Here's something that's not fake, and pretty thought provoking:

How is it FAKE ?

How is it FAKE ?

IMHO, I think the ball would loose a lot of it's momentum after hitting the first trampoline, let alone 4 trampolines. I doubt it would ever make it back to the batter.

Definitely the clay pigeon episode is fake. Taking the curvature of the bat and ball plus leading the pigeon perfectly.......impossible.

I've watched them several times now (after showing the kids and Mrs Unicorn) and I still reckon they're real.

Look up the guiness book of records for the record for shooting  blocks of wood thrown in the air with a .22 rifle. (A feat which to me is likely NOT repeatable more than a couple of times in a row).

One shooter, of 72,000 hand thrown blocks 2½ inches in diameter, missed only nine—his longest run without a miss was 14,540.

Another managed to hit 100,004 2¼ inch cubes of wood out of 100,010 thrown in to the air. (With a .22).

Consider a bat and a ball.....they both have curved surfaces. Thus you have pop-ups and grounders in baseball. Now the swing of the bat is also important in hitting clay targets with a ball......too slow....too fast? How does one "lead' the target for a hit? Taking all of this in consideration, that film was a fake.

Well I guess I'm just gullible.

Might write a book one day ..... "Gullibles Travels".

I guess ...... the "Don" using a stump and a golf ball to practice alone with water tank, mounted on a curved brick stand, stood on a paved area behind the family home. When hit into the curved brick facing of the stand, the ball rebounded at high speed and varying angles he would then attempt to hit it again ..... is another story.

" I'm a believer". (practice makes perfect).! Have seen a golfer hit clay targets with a golf ball.!! :angel:

Yes - both are fakes.  Don't be taken in by a bit of video editing.
Not Baseball - but this is real.
