- Here at What's Inside?, we've always wanted
to be a part of breaking a Guinness World Record,
well today it is officially happening.
(triumphant music)
(metal cutting)
Welcome back to What's Inside?, we're at Top Golf
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We're gonna show you what's inside
of the world's longest usable golf club.
Seriously.
37 feet and one inch, this is it right here,
this is the driver, it looks like a regular
driver head and then it has this
long shaft. - [Women] Shaft!
We've got Anthony Anderson,
star of many many shows like Blackish,
he's been in Transformers.
- Don't talk to me!
Don't talk to me, criminal!
Oh sugar rush.
- Super talented actor
and he is going to be the one attempting
to break the record today.
Anthony has been trying this
for the last probably 30 minutes
and on his last attempt it was getting close
and the shaft broke.
And it broke at the part where these connectors are
and the carbon fiber shattered.
So they're replacing it right now
and trying to fix this golf club.
The pressure is on.
So there's a video on Top Golf's channel,
we'll link after this,
but for our video, we're gonna take this thing apart
and see what it's inside of this golf club
and explain to you how it works.
Okay Lincoln, you've got the club that broke.
- [Lincoln] Yep
Look at that carbon fiber. - And this is the end of it,
there's the grip right there
it's the very end. - So it was right by the grip,
what happened on that?
- Uh, I think I just had too much strength, you know?
The torque from the club, it's 37 feet one inches long,
so I thought I needed to add extra to it
and that's what happened with this.
I was just over zealous in my quest to break the record.
- We're gonna leave the cliffhanger of a broken club.
Can we get it fixed in time for Anthony
to try it again and actually break it,
and break the world record? - I hope so.
I hope so.
- If it is broken, we just got word
that What's Inside? will be on the plaque.
What?
- Whoo!
Like, we'll be on the plaque as a world record holder.
So you better do this, pressure's on.
- Time to break a record, baby.
- Do it for us.
- Yeah, I'm doing it for us. - [Lincoln] Let's do it.
- Yes.
Guinness World Records, right here.
This is Philip, he's the official
is it adjudicator?
Is that what you call it? - That's right, yes.
- Have you seen somebody break this record,
this specific record before?
- I've seen the evidence of this existing record.
In fact this record has been broken more than 10 times.
- More than 10 times.
- It started off at 10 feet, three and a half inches,
this club and now we're seeing a club that is 37 feet,
which will pass the existing record of 30 feet 6 inches,
set last year in November so it' just--
- This is crazy.
That was a really cool experience with Anthony Anderson.
That guy is hilarious and it was fun to see him attempt it.
Make sure that you check that out after this video
because it was so fun to be a part of.
And there's no better place to break the record
than Top Golf, like, I love that place.
- So awesome.
- In order to break the record,
it has to be a usable golf club.
You need to use parts that are from normal golf clubs.
The club that Anthony used that's 37 feet and one inch
was made up of nine of these Fujikura custom golf shafts.
- [Women] Shaft!
So they basically took like a male female connector
and screwed them all together.
Even though these shafts - [Women] Shaft!
are made out of carbon fiber,
they're very very light and they're really strong.
It's really tricky to swing it.
This is three shafts put together.
- [Women] Shaft!
And you can see how long that is.
I'm gonna see what it's like to swing just three of 'em,
this is in no way a world record.
Just to see how difficult it actually is to hit it.
Lemme do a little practice swing here.
(whoosh)
- [Lincoln] That's scary.
- That works pretty good.
- [Lincoln] Like that sound.
(whoosh)
- It's just wind.
- [Lincoln] Yeah, scary wind.
- All right, here's my attempt.
(clang of golf club hitting the ball)
Oh, I hit it!
Yes.
Now we've established that these
are really long golf clubs.
Now we need to see how they work.
- [Lincoln] Ah!
Oh!
No!
- I'll throw it that way.
- [Lincoln] Oh no.
I think he's just gonna hit me in the head.
(clatter)
- Didn't break.
We're good.
So this is the Callaway Rogue driver.
Very common, very good driver that they put on here.
Basically these are regular Fujikura
- [Women] Shaft! - shafts
that you would use on a golf club
but they custom made them with little connectors
in between them so that you could attach nine
of them together.
(metal snapping sound)
This is what you have.
So you have the male to female connector.
This is the one that Anthony swung
and you can see right here the carbon fiber,
it just shattered.
It just busted through right there
and it was done for.
And we only had one back up at the event
so it was crucial that he got it with the second shot.
Well lemme show you what's inside of the driver.
(whoosh)
I'm pretty sure this saw is meant for cutting wood,
but hey,
it's already on there and I don't really wanna change
the blade out so we'll give it a shot first.
And a fun little Easter egg for you,
I think we've filmed three videos on this exact saw
and it was over two years ago.
Let me know if the comments if you know which ones they are,
let us know what videos they are.
I'm curious to see how many of you have watched
that many of our videos.
What's inside of the golf driver?
Callaway Rogue golf driver, baby.
(whirring)
(dance music)
Okay, this is working great so far,
we are already cutting into the Callaway driver
right there.
That is good.
And there were sparks and they were white sparks.
Destin from Smarter Every Day, Mark Grober
if you're watching this;
why are the sparks white?
I dunno.
Need the smarter people to help me out with that one.
(high pitched whirring)
(techno music)
(metallic whirring)
(high pitched whirring)
(techno music)
(metallic grinding)
(loud metallic clang)
Do I have anything on my face?
A piece of something flew off
and hit me right here on the cheek.
I'm glad that I had safety glasses on.
Safety is definitely an important thing.
Oh!
It was the whole top!
The whole top exploded off of it.
The whole face must have flown off
and hit me in the face.
Lemme go see if I can find the pieces.
I had Lincoln go out during the filming
of this, but look at this.
It's opened but I don't know where the top went.
- Um.
- It's just gone.
(squealing tape sound)
- Do we need it?
- Not really, but I'm curious where the heck did it go?
- We cannot find that piece of the club.
If we ever find this, we will tweet it.
It might be tomorrow, it might be in three weeks,
it might be in a few months.
I don't know if we'll ever find that thing.
But let's show you what's inside of the Callaway
driving head from the world's longest golf club.
- See all that gold stuff in there?
Is that putty sealing it?
It seems sticky.
I'm kinda curious.
Do you think that all the ridges inside
were there for a reason?
Like, look at that little support beam.
- I mean out the outside of it,
you can see kinda the ridges that are on there.
Jailbreak technology.
There are two places that you can adjust
on this Rogue driver;
you can see that screw in there and it has some sort
of technology to help you with your drive
to adjust the weight somehow.
So it's carbon fiber attached to the metal.
It looks like right here,
the carbon fiber part was just kind of glued on.
It caught it enough that it threw that part of it off,
the carbon fiber.
If you look the carbon fiber, if I push on it,
it's still super strong but really really light.
(clanging metal)
Big thanks to Callaway, Fujikura, Top Golf.
Make sure you check out Anthony Anderson attempting
to break the world record of the world's longest
usable golf club.
- The link's probably gonna be up there
or down there in the description.
- Yeah, it'll be on the Top Golf channel.
And that's what's inside of the world's longest
usable golf club.
Now you know.
(clanging metal)
- Whoo.
That looked cool.
Did you see that?
- You're cleaning it up.
- You can say you were there when.
They can never take this away from you, all right?
- [Band] All right.
- You were there when.
- [Band] Yeah!
- I want you to spread my name in the streets.
Every time you say Anthony Anderson,
you don't say Anthony Anderson any more,
you say Anthony Anderson, world record holder!
(cheers)
Let me hear you say it!
What's my name?
- [All] Anthony Anderson, world record holder!
- Wow, they nailed that, they nailed that.
- [Women] Shaft!
