Has anyone ever tried to hit a superball with a driver? How far would one
of those go?

The appropriate question might be how far would the PIECES go.

Not all things in life are linear. Superballs are designed for
small deformations.

This is kind of cool from that site:
"Students and teachers of physics have wondered long long and often
what would happen if a superball were dropped from the top of a high
building, such as the Sears Tower of Chicago. That building, with a
height of 440 meters above ground level, has recently lost the
designation of world's tallest building to a new structure in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia on a ridiculous technicality. Fortunately, the fate
of the superball can now be known, as a result of experiments done by
resourceful team of Australian researchers at a radio antenna tower of
comparable height. When they dropped the superball onto the pavement
below, the ball shattered into glasslike slivers, which were propelled
at great speeds from the impact point. One of the experimenters
narrowly escaped injury from the shattered fragments. Alas, it seems
that the superball has limited superpower."
I never would have expected the ball to shatter.
