400MPH Pool Break with a Cannon at 80,000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys 

Chads

Epic

pure strength

absolutely mental break lad

Someone please make that a gif😂

Tomorrow on Daily Dose of Internet...

That one's gonna GIF well

It did! Even better than his hero pose in the giant balloon

quick upload it as a short

Post apoplectic pool.

Everybody knows you don't mess around with Jim

​@@jackbelinski6460solid reference

@wouldiwasshookspeared4087 Just think, if Big Jim hadn't tried to hustle Slim he might still be driving around in that old drop-top Cadillac

*insert quagsire screaming*

Hey, hey Tom... You should animate Dan doing the break that crumbles the cue ball

yeah deffinitly one of the few survivors who sticked to their guns and just do what they love :P

Props to finding new ways to do the same thing for a decade and still finding content.

And also not making their videos 2 hours long to farm ad breaks has got to be worth a huge shout out. Slow motion guys will still be here when a lot of the bigger RU-vid channels have died after driving all their viewers away.

a vry simple premise that has made this channel a youtube staple: "dude, i wonder what this would look like in slow-motion"

just guys bein dudes

yes indeed... Top gear :D

that's just what always happens when you put a couple of british guys together and give them a crazy idea

dude perfect is a student of Dan

So RL ussope from one piece

Dan taught Chuck Norris how to aim.

Royal Marines. Hundreds of years of badassery personified.

@@blobfish. woah woah woah there, pardner.

Not to mention the pocketed balls :O

"blown away" groan

That felt racist 🤣🤣🤣

Being in the center, the eight ball dispursed it's energy into more balls and, thanks to equal and opposite reaction, had a higher chance of staying relatively put... I'm not a scientist, what I wrote above is an utter guess and my actual answer is that's just how skilled Dan is at pool.

well you had to finish the game

Ohh how did you get that🤭

It’s because they are clones made by the Illuminati to distract us. Open your third eye!

1:10 as well lmao

The British way of life

i heard a long time ago that this is very common with friends especially if they are having a conversation while walking. Ever since then I can't unsee it.

🐐

Playing a tie-breaker in a tournament many moons ago, my opponent broke, after striking the 1-ball, the cueball went straight up, shattered the stained glass light above the table, came down and landed on the 8-ball (which had pretty much stayed stationary until then) and, despite the debris that was falling on the table, sank it in the side pocket. I conceded the game and yelled, "Cleanup, table seven!" 😏

I learned very quickly that I shouldn't break at an angle as I had a knack for launching the queball after contacting the first ball and people in the bar I used to play in quickly learned to avoid 1 particular bar stool as that is where the queball would land every time after the first nutshot no one would sit in that stool when I broke at an angle and let's just say that guy drank alot that night as I bought all of his beers the rest of the night

@@spike3082 Similar thing way back as a teen; I was breaking off. A mate, that wasn't part of the game, was sat on a bench the other end of the table, legs akimbo, chatting up a girl as he always did. This was one of the coolest, best looking guys in school btw. Anyway, I accidentally chipped it over the pack and got him right in the taters just as he tried to catch it at the last split second! Everyone in the bar was in tears, esp the lad that copped it. lol

It was great! I totally fell for it.

🎱😅👍

First it was Angory Tom, then it was Zullie, now it's Slo Mo Guys. Stop watching the same things as me Pierce, I'm getting scared.

I need a GIF of it

@@TheMirksta It just means that we both have exceptional taste in RU-vid content.

As someone who plays league pool, I thought you would be one to mention that it's not actually a cannon shot, it's a common mispronounced term but actually called a carrom shot

@@pferguson2212 tbf, this IS a cannon shot

@@pferguson2212 In England, "carrom" and "cannon" shot is pretty much interchangeable tho. Carroms, cannons, billiards, oh my!

This is maybe the geekiest comment I’ve read this week and I f-king love it 😂

@@pferguson2212 As someone who plays league pool, I'm surprised you're not familiar with British pool (and snooker) terms. Brits call a combination shot a cannon. They also call a bank shot a "double". A carom shot is a different thing. A carom is where the cue or the object ball makes a glancing blow off another ball as it goes to the intended destination.

Why did I think that was a bird 🤣

In the words of Lythero/PaperBoxHouse/AlfredSnapcube, "This s--t tastes like TURBULENCE!"

Imagine being a dragonfly minding your own business and you nearly get shot out of the air by those damned monkeys up to their antics again.

yeah came for that, dragonfly like 'oh apparently I'm flying in a warzone I DIDN'T KNOW'

"best friends"

They were also both perfectly aligned for it - missed the table by the smallest possible hair to avoid totally smashing it, and hit the ball completely dead on.

Maybe the hitting shot happened before they prediction shot! Am I right?

@@soroushsafarzadeh8321 ooooohhh... I hadn't thought of that.

@@soroushsafarzadeh8321 the table was still intact when they made the predictions though

@@bluetoothpasteman5022 While I do think they made the predictions before the events, just fyi they probably had multiple tables as a just in case

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

@@Call_Upon_YAH No

@@Call_Upon_YAH Flee you fiend!

@@Call_Upon_YAH jesus ate my dinner 😢😢😢

@@Call_Upon_YAH Preach brother 🙏

was looking for this comment. lol

Even when they started slowing down, they still held perfect pace with each other until Dan decided to walk a little further. Everyone needs a friend they're this in-tune with.

ooooooh nice catch!

At 1:08 too!

it's like it was setup, but they were reacting so it couldn't be? so funny

I agree but on the other hand thats the magic of tv, you can pick and choose and retake...

I love how they are still awkward in front of the camera doing their skits after all these years.🥰

And even after all this time this one was literally 12:37... jawdropping.

That's why they are still giving us all of those great videos.

They did forcibly have to take a long break from doing stuff together, pretty good for recharging motivation

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:15 ✝🌅 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. Job 33:18-20 ✝🌅

My thoughts exactly. It's an unbeatable combination of great footage, science and a great, laid back sense of humour

@@retrovideoquest Mixed with high class professionalism and legitimately wholesome fun

I love your channel

agreed

The British artillery have contacted him - the need to enlist him for his aiming skills.

Thanks for watching you have been selected among the winner's for today contact me right now to claim*your prize*√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√🎊🎁🎁

Yes, definitely!

Yeah, I'd never guess that recoil happens after the ball leaves the cannon..

@@RichChh yeah I also did not know. But if we think about it for a sec 🤔... It is logical as other wise the bullet or Canonball would go not where you want it to be.

You know it will be a great video when Dan has to be in control for legal reasons

@@Ildarioon When the ball’s moving in the barrel, something’s gotta be moving backwards. Momentum is a conserved quantity and whatnot.

Legend has it, the cue ball is still orbiting earth.

I think you underestimate the boredom, juvenile nature, and sheer bloody-mindedness of Napeoleonic-era officers :D (Not to mention the availability of small-bore muzzle-loaded cannon, powder, and expertise...)

Sounds like the Guinness Book of Records 😁

Hi 👋

Ugh

Not to mention that because the cue ball never hit them, it was technically a cannon with a cannon done with a cannon.

Change the timestamp to 10:58 and I think your comment would do much better and be a better experience. You have to wait like 16 seconds before you actually see what you are talking about.

@@chronicle8080 ty

Like an old married couple, so much time together, breeds similar behavior/ timing. 😂

ok

ok

ok

ok

I saw that! Such good friends ☺️

@@micahpetersen2484 They did it earlier in the video too 1:07 something that naturally happens when you spend a lot of time with someone I suppose lol.

Even down to the arm swings!

How long have they been working together? Ten years?

@BradynLee09 Maybe they'll get more variety in the upcoming Slow Mo Guys: Edgerunners update

It's even better. Gav has a brother so he's going to be a fun uncle as well.

They should do a super slow mo of their grandchildrens birth

He also scratched too!!! With that cue ball being unplayable!!! 😅

It has this amazing "double rainbow" vibes. "2 balls in the pocket! What does it mean!"

This is really cool I love science the altitude the longitude the latitude of it it's just action taken I like the French for a second of all is going like you can actually see

Thats pure genuine excitement! 😅😂The two ohhh ohhh.. and then the loud one when he finds its two balls oooohhhh! Hahaha, hilarious. 😄👍🏻

Along with the shot of their faces when they were watching the footage back at 12:37. Perfection.

Exactly, love the fact it dodges at 6:13 like "holy fat beetle batman!!!!!!" "Time to move, these bugs are getting to big for me"

If those bugs had a slightly different flight path they could have been utterly obliterated

@@TorvicIsSanta Luckily, dragonflies are absolute monsters when it comes to speed and maneuverability.

Hello

Nic

Nice

Nice

Good

Non-pornographic maybe. 👍

Season 2 of Ballistic Pool: Slo Mo Guys vr Stuff Made Here vr Adam Savage/Tested.

It's not "sunk 2 balls", it's "potted 2 balls"

For some reason ballistic billiards has never caught on. Don’t know why.

@@pippipster6767 the spectators behind the cannon have fun much longer than the ones in front of it do 😁

The balls rolled in due to the gravity because the table was damaged….

Living the dream.

Dude perfect?

@@stjepanhorvat8693 Didn't make him jealous I guess xD

Like Mythbusters but even more wacky

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ not a useful way to give the gospel at all

Hahahah ,golden comment brother

Random question: are you Irish?

I thought that was a bird in the distance 😂😂😂

Dragonflies are chads, the most effective hunters on the planet with a catch rate of 95%. No one asked but there you go.

@@garrymcdonald5456 For context to show how awesome this is, wolves have a success rate of around 15%, and lions in a group have a catch rate of 30%. Dragonflies are truly exceptional!

Yeah they caught lightning in a bottle with this one.

The whole video was perfect, the commentary, everything

Perfect outro. These guys are consummate professionals.

Splendid idea! I'd love to see that in really sloooooow motion. So far, a year ago we made the film on the Charpy impact test, but this was the first attempt. It was just to show the difference in behaviour of steel after cold rolling and after quenching and tempering. Perhaps the frame rate wasn't sufficient to show the tiny details, but still it is interesting to watch it. It's somewhere in the abyss of YT.

That is a great idea.

They already have a video about this. They put giant rebar in a giant scientific tension machine

@@jackjacobson6763 Thanks! I will look for it eagerly.

I think it is spelled “cue ball”? Not certain

@@drdca8263 Yes, cue.

I was observing the same thing. The energy transfer was absolutely perfect

Today's forecast is relatively chill, with the chance of witnessing only two brutal disintegrations

That frame could easily be a "What are they filming - Wrong answers only" thread on Reddit...

try to one up this one 🤣

well. of course you would be here.

How about firing the cue out of the cannon to make the break ?

More importantly, it felt like a five minute video, not a sixteen minute video.

@Don't read profile photo oops. sry.

my day exactly

I don't know how much the temperature has to do with it, you see the same thing with knuckleball pitches.

@@forrest225 temperature has a lot do with it seeing that's exactly what birds use to fly... they rise with heat currents and dive in cold patches for maximum effect.

@@keith221191 A bird or glider thermalling has absolutely nothing to do with the instability of a sphere in flight.

@@forrest225 actually it does, a knuckleballer is controlled with said knuckles creating the spin where as a cannon uses heat due to not having any riffling like a barrel of a gun has to rotate the bullet.

@@keith221191 Knuckleballs aren't supposed to spin. The very quality a knuckleball is judged on is how little spin it has. Just watch some slow motion pitches. A good knuckleball might make 1 complete rotation, a great one won't even do that.

o7

In my opinion, 2 pots are more fascinating than 1 pot, and much better than -2 balls.

Well, the annihilation was predictable. To think that they would be able to pot two balls with a 400Mh cue ball was not. So is legit.

ball breaking isn't something everyone likes except for some people

@@alessandromerelli7221 well, they potted two balls because the table is way off level towards that pocket. I'm very impressed with the solid contact on the break with a cannon lol

ok

Dan actually is a demolitions expert... He served in the British Army as one.

@@alexgriffith-turtle5261 and not much has changed except the job title

and he dug from england all the way to vegas before retreading the tunnel back to gavins backyard

ok
