Tiger shows us his 'ball control'

Golf. A bit of a funny sport really. It seems you spend more time casually moping around after the ball you've just smashed 200 yards away then you do actually swinging and hitting. Alas, the saviour that is Tiger Woods. Arguably the biggest world sports star since Michael Jordan, Tiger has bought to the game a sense of 'cool', which coupled with his huge sponsorship with Nike, has made him the face of the sport for the last decade.

In Forbes' last listing of Highest paid sports stars, Tiger Woods came out on top, with earnings of $87 million, at the age of just 30. When you compare that to David Beckham, probably our biggest sports player, his $32.5 million looks rather small. So what is all the fuss about?

This video is from a TV advert aired back in 1999. At the time it caused a lot of controversy, as it was advertising Nike, although Tiger's main club sponsor was Titleist. Cue huge lawsuits, days of negotiations and eventually an agreement which I guess made all three parties a whole lot happier and a whole lot richer.

However, what is of real importance here is the true skill on show. The World No 1 has won 12 Major Championships, has more wins on the PGA Tour than any other active golfer, and has been awarded the PGA Tour Player of the Year a record eight times. And although not showing his true golfing potential in this video, the samba-style skill on display is symbolic of Tiger and everything he is about - Pure Class.

The video itself is great, and I couldn't help but stare, jaw-dropped in amazement. The accompanying Caribbean music adds to the sense of enjoyment, as-if Tiger himself is just playing around. A true 'Nike advert', no doubt it easily did the job in pushing more people into buying Nike golf products. If not at least it encouraged golfers across the world to pick up their clubs in an effort to recreate Tiger's silky skills. Some didn't do too bad either. So if you like golf, give it a go, and maybe share your video attempts here on ReviewTube.

Diving - Your never to old!

Meet Pearl Heenan, an 81 year old female from Brisbane Australia. I guess you could say she's just your regular OAP. Old, wrinkly and probably smells of a slight stench of urine. Oh yeah, and she dives! No not dies (well she will eventually) - DIVES.

Yes that's right. Feast your eyes on some of the most amusing, yet somewhat 'elegant' dives you will ever see grace a swimming pool. Surely, one of the most ignored sports on the planet now has an icon, a hero with which it can begin to promote the sport to young and old alike.

The video itself is cut from the Sky Sports show 'Soccer AM', who should take full credit for unearthing Pearl's amazing talent. Belly flops, back flips, side turns, Pearl really has it all. The video shows her graceful physique, body hugging swimsuit and all, from a variety of shots and angles that really do give full credit to the craft and technique Pearl possesses when it comes to the board.

Watch it, admire it, and then pop down to the local pool and try emulate this marvellous feat.

Girl jumps through Basketball Hoop... no really!

Browsing through the latest sport videos from the weekend's action, I thought that I would steer away from the traditional football videos, despite some dramatic late winners for both Man Utd and Tottenham, and some amusing bloopers (oh dear Mr Fabregas). Instead, I plumped for a random video that although has no true 'sporting credentials', has a humorous WOW factor that is almost certain to generate both astonished admiration, and unconvinced speculation.

The video is called 'girl jumps through basketball hoop' and is pretty self explanatory. A team of four 'gymnast lads' (some would put it another way), gather all their inner strength to hurl a rather tiny yet extremely flexible girl 15 feet in the air, flipping her into a full 360 degree somersault, resulting in her landing feet first straight through the hoop. Swoosh! Two-points to team gymnasts.

I think this video is genius, and bar the small pain the girl seems to get in the back of her neck after the stunt, it seems nobody was hurt whilst performing this insane act, which is always a bonus. Cue students up and down the country gathering their friends at the nearest basketball court to recreate this superb Jackass-esque manoeuvre. In fact, try too hard to perform that all important dunk, and it may just 'nearly happen' accidentally.

However, as with all seemingly unbelievable videos online, some comments from the community express disbelief of the video, claiming 'fake'. Even in slow-motion, it still seems to me that she clearly flew through the hoop, with the sound and movement of the net being almost conclusive proof. So with ReviewTube giving it the thumbs up for authenticity, check it out for yourself. Be prepared to be amazed.

Carling Cup Brawl - You be the judge

The aftermath left from Sunday’s epic Carling Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea is still being felt across the world of football. If you somehow have managed to completely miss the events of last weekend (where have you been), this tube provides you with the opportunity to see, and more importantly judge for yourself who exactly is in the wrong.

Despite Chelsea’s much needed success, and the horrific sight of Blues captain John Terry lying unconscious after being kicked to kingdom come, it will be the ugly scenes of the closing 22 man fracas (plus managers) that will stick thick in the memories of most.

So what do you think from the footage? Did Adebayor deliver that knockout blow to Frank Lampard? Or was he a victim of mistaken identity. The video is slightly inconclusive, but gives a good enough viewpoint on things. It shows Adebayor running in aggressively, but it seems as if he was just breaking things up. It didn’t help Adebayor that his reaction to his red card was so poor, and surely if he had left the field quietly, his appeal might have had a leg to stand on.

One thing for certain is that football doesn’t need these ugly scenes that are more akin to the World Wrestling Entertainment. However, we at ReviewTube have noticed that Wenger's Arsenal seem to be at the centre of controversial moments such as this all to often as of late. Sore losers? Surely not. Nonetheless check out this tube and cast you own opinion.
