April 20 (UPI) -- A pair of Idaho men shared video showing how they beat the Guinness World Record for catching tennis balls in a basket placed on a person's head.

David Rush, who has broken more than 100 Guinness records to promote STEM education, teamed up with coronavirus quarantine buddy Jonathan Hannon to break the record, after previously breaking a similar record with a basket strapped to Rush's back.
