This is amazing.
Awesome!
If we're ever going to find you a new ball this is the place.
(Gasping) How about this one?
Same size, same shape.
Give it a bounce.
(Grunting) Oops.
That is not a bouncy noise.
That ball didn't bounce at all.
And it's full of holes.
Those holes are for fingers.
My mom has a ball just like this.
It's a bowling ball.
Bowling balls are definitely not bouncy.
I wonder why some balls are bouncy and others aren't.
What an excellent question.
Perhaps we can watch it up close with my Micromaboodle.
Now, look closely as I give it a bounce.
(Squeaking) (Thudding) That didn't bounce at all.
With a Micromaboodle you can rewind and take another look.
(Thudding) I still don't see it bouncing.
Why don't you turn the other knob?
Slow it down and take an even closer look.
(Thudding repeatedly) Now that we see it up close and slowed down it looks like it did bounce a teeny tiny bit.
(Sighing) A teeny tiny bit isn't good enough to replace a bouncy basketball.
It might not bounce but it's really rolly.
(Laughing) Heavy balls like this bowler-- (Grunting) are really great rollers.
(Cheering) Strike!
Yes!
