    Um. You sort of failed to mention that they were filled with water. That changes the equation just a bit.

    Ping pong balls are *still* pretty harmless: until the guy injects it with water before shooting. Imagine if he froze them too...

    Hey that title is misleading, they injected the ping pong ball with water before they shot it out. Of course it will go through plywood!

    @trailingedge: Increasing its mass is kinda cheating.
    I'd reckon without any added weight a ping pong balls max speed won't be very harmful

    It should come with a kit that keeps it oriented towards the sun so the reflection hits your photovoltaic array.


    Thig'd pay for itself.

    Wouldn't this totally mess with your perception while playing? You would constantly see 2 balls, the reflection and the actual thing...


    Looks pretty awesome though! They shouldn't have half-assed and made the net in a reflective coating!
