Rubber band ball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A rubber band ball is a bouncy ball made by tying rubber bands into a knot and then wrapping or twisting more rubber bands around it until the desired size is achieved. Some people speed the process by starting with a core of wadded paper or a rubber ball (such as a superball). However, some people consider this cheating.

The world's largest rubber band ball was created by Joel Waul. He is the current World Record Holder according the Guinness World Records. The ball, which sits under a tarp in Waul's driveway, is 9,032 pounds, and more than six-feet tall and more than 700,000 rubber bands. It set the world record on November 13, 2008 in Lauderhill, Florida. The first record-winning ball was made!
