A super slow-motion video shows a golf ball being used to shatter a glass of beer.

The Slow Mo Guys , known for their super slow-motion videos of things like ' shooting a rifle into a thick layer of gelatin ' and ' grilling sausages on a high-voltage radio antenna ,' have now filmed themselves taking on a challenge where they 'hit a golf ball at a glass full of beer and break the glass with the golf ball.' During the filming, their expensive super slow-motion camera nearly broke down.

The plan is to stick a wooden stick into the ground, place a glass filled with beer on top of it, and then hit a golf ball at it, capturing the glass shattering in super slow motion.

A transparent protective cover was attached to the camera to prevent golf balls from hitting it.

The challenge begins.

I can hit the wooden stick, but I just can't seem to hit the cup.

There was a loud crash, like something breaking.

I'll rush over to him.

It wasn't the cup that was broken, but the protective cover.

Without the protective cover, I would have ended up with an expensive super slow-motion camera.

The camera footage showed the protective cover in front of it cracking.

He was unable to break the glass on the first day, and continued the challenge two days later.

The protective cover has cracked again.

And then, finally, the golf ball hit the cup, and the cup shattered into pieces.

The following is a super slow-motion video of the moment the glass shatters. First, a golf ball rapidly approaches the glass.

The glass breaks, and beer spills out through the cracks.

The golf ball flies off to the right.

The beer also starts to gush out spectacularly a little later.

Glass flying high into the air, and beer spreading thinly.

Eventually, the beer dripped down in a film-like layer.
