Watch: Idaho man covers head in shaving cream, catches table tennis balls
Jan. 27 (UPI) -- An Idaho man lathered up his head in shaving cream and used it to catch table tennis balls bounced off a wall to officially break a world record.
David "Record Breaker" Rush previously attempted the record for the most table tennis balls bounced and caught in shaving foam on the head in 30 seconds (individual) in early 2024, when he managed to tie the previous record of 14 to become co-holder of the title.
Rush attempted to best his feat during a visit to Guinness World Records headquarters in London.
"I knew I could push further," Rush wrote. "It took a few tries, but I managed to catch 16 ping-pong balls in 30 seconds, securing the new record outright."
He said the most difficult part of the challenge was making sure the table tennis balls didn't bounce off the ones he had already caught on his head.
