Actually your assumption than glass is not elastic is dead wrong.
Why do marbles bounce.
Hi dyllon how fast things bounce back when they collide depends on their elasticity.

It is in fact one of the most elastic substances known to man.
For example when you press a spring on its both sides you change its.
Many objects dissipate energy too readily to bounce well.
Why do marbles bounce.
You can gauge how well a material retains energy by striking it with a mallet or a spoon.
I think more or less the same thing happens with rubber balls except that the momentum of the ball is partially and temporarily stored in the elastic deformation of the rubber.
And because momentum must be conserved the marble basically has to bounce.
Glass marbles bounce off hard surfaces because the impact being largely inelastic cannot absorb the momentum of the marble.
This follows from the definition of elasticity.
