Gas Monkey Garages Mike Coy Crushes Jason Aker’s Signed Golf Ball
When you hear the term “Crushed it” in the golfing context, you probably think of a monster drive off the tee like Tiger Woods. If you are Mike Coy from Gas Monkey Garage, you mean something entirely different.
Mike, in his search for things to put up against his Baileigh hydraulic press, decides to “borrow” fellow GMG staffer Jason Aker’s prized golf ball, autographed by Jordan Speith, currently #5 on the world golf rankings list. Despite Aker having apparently gone to considerable lengths to secure the ball and the autograph, Coy decides to see how the ball handles a few tons of pressure.
Surprisingly, the ball does absorb a lot of the pressure, as they are designed to flex upon impact to help with driving distance and durability. However, as expected, the stresses eventually prove too high and the ball bursts, spilling its rubbery guts on the press like roadkill!
We don’t get to see Jason’s reaction, but its safe to assume he was NOT happy with Mike’s choice for his durability testing.
