The picture you show looks like the table called "Hippo Coffee Table." The "Cool Dude" table you link to is a bit different but equally as interesting.

It doesn't matter which one is stationary and which one is moving. In both cases, the ball is free to travel in the opposite direction.

Thinking back to physics momentum equations (I think this is right...)

Force x time(delta) = mass x velocity

If we assume the length of impact (time) is the same in both cases and the velocities are roughly equal. The force applied to the ball is proportional to the mass of the moving object. I'd assume that a driver has more mass than a golf ball. So, in reality, a driver swung Tiger should deform the ball more than a ball hitting a stationary wall.
