With Gav behind the camera and Dan equipped with a racket, the two approached their trial run with a mix of anticipation and pessimism.

But, as you will see, their efforts produce surprisingly beautiful imagery, courtesy of slow motion footage and a powerful swing of the racket.

Who knows? This might catch on. Before you know it, Gav and Dan might become the Williams sisters of jelly tennis. Or jelly ball. jelly ball? Is that trademarked yet?

Okay, so this probably won't become a sport anytime soon. Still, enjoy the beautiful imagery of their experiments and, of course, their quipping British voices.
