Momentum is a function of both mass and speed. The wrecking ball isn't moving very fast, but it is extremely heavy; that is where its momentum comes from.

How can a wrecking ball move so slow and knock down walls?
A wrecking ball's momentum and weight provide the force needed to knock down walls, even when moving slowly. The ball's size and material composition also play a crucial role in its ability to penetrate and break through structures. By harnessing gravity and controlled movements, operators can use a wrecking ball to demolish buildings effectively at a slower pace.
Is it possible that have the different mass always have the same momentum?
Not always, but they do have the same momentum when the product of the mass and speed of each is the same number. So a larger mass can have the same momentum as a smaller mass if it's moving faster. Simple example: A rifle bullet can knock a large animal down.
