I went out to Dallas National to test out what it’s really like playing with a rolled back golf ball…

No idea how far these golf balls are going to go so it’s going to be an interesting test today to see what we got not too bad of a drive to start off 182 ball speed with a roll back golf ball that’s a Nike 1 tour so they say
That that’s what it’s going to be I’m interested to see how the little wedge shots are going to be 89 yards into the wind going to play 105 50° little off the left play 10 o00 just under 10:00 50° which is going to go 107 101 that’s got to
Go oh that’s there on the green got about a 12-footer it looks like I’m going to place an inch outside oh no it went right it went right oh my gosh wow I thought that was going to go left that was pretty good though dang well that’s a par not terrible not bad
Got it in the Fairway hit it on the green two- potted let’s see uh what this ball can do for me for the rest of the round the second hole folks is a dog Le right par five one of the nicest looking holes in the golf course actually like
What are the big differences between the ball you’re playing now and what might be a roll back golf ball yeah well this golf ball is just not going to compress uh or not transfer energy as well so my golf ball right now can transfer the
Energy off of this face a lot faster the title is left Dash and this is the Nike one uh one tour I believe this ball just doesn’t transfer that energy as well I think it’s a softer golf ball um so it may spin a little bit more I don’t know
Exactly what it’s going to do but I’m Keen to find out right here I’m going to go after this one dude that is wild okay I got lucky there bro this ball oh my gosh so that normally hit on the heel with my other golf ball would
Not missed that far left so like with my other golf ball that would have flown just dead straight but that ball went left it started left and went left with that compression there’s definitely something to say about the golf ball compression to the Bulls and roll but
That’s 184 that’s a way big pull I didn’t feel like I pulled that either so that was H heel but the heel is because of my driver it’s rounded and point of left so we’ll see what what that means I’m GNA keep testing that out this is literally the second
Time I’ve hit a driver uh with this golf ball so that’s the only thing I could assume that’s happening right now uh albeit I can fix that it’s just going to take a little bit of figuring out sloping left to right 260 I’m going to take a little bit off of this fivewood
See what this does fivewood oh that was really good 249 that’s actually got to go may run out it gets lucky oh it’s got that’s it I go over I go over you think shoot I might have been able to six iron there this is going to be
Really interesting six iron might have been the play it was downwind enough so I got like a 25 yard shot into the wind into the grain little bit of rough to deal with zoa not the easiest let’s see if we can get it up there nice tap in for par a little into
The wind now well that came out soft go do it yeah that came out weird I don’t know what to say that came out really weird but I’ll tap in for birdie I’m taking that every day of the week well that’s pretty easy birdie there not
Bad not too bad I’ll take that that’s one under through two guys on to the third par three beautiful par three it’s going to be a good test here one I’m going to play like a 160 shot here this thing’s probably only going to like 150 so I’m playing this thing 20
Yards down wind 172 play 152 but this thing’s only going to fly 150 normally this flies about 160 oh that Ball’s flying so weird 152 ah it’s short look at that I mean I hit it exactly the way I wanted to so they’re going that’s probably going like 5 to 6%
Short well that’s a little shorter than I wanted obviously not too difficult of a chip just got to get that up and down all right we’ve got a 25 yard chip 23 yard chip I’m going to try and lend it just short of the light just like 3 feet
Short of the light and try and make it t tumble out it didn’t spin that well the first time I hit this Chip Shot in the last hole so I’m going to plan on it running out and we’ll see where it goes this is going to break uh left to right
At the end it’s going to maybe bounce right to left and then go back left to right at the end short okay that was a that didn’t roll out as much as I thought it would not that great of a chip I can make this for
Par 12T 2% well one and a half 6 in out be 4 in left the hole oh shoot that sucks well that’s now even par okay well pretty bummed about that bogey there that was a dumb bogey cuz I know I can shoot under par today that’s that’s not shouldn’t be too difficult
But I got another part five coming up and we’ve got a drive well I don’t know about driveable anymore but this is not easy around the greens I’ll tell you that a little more difficult go I hit that good oh short of the bunker so I I’m normally expecting that
Golf ball to curve back off the toe like that that golf ball just didn’t curve one bit it was a great swing again it just does not come back or curve the right way uh okay so real quickly what I was trying to say on the T box was that
Because the ball’s going shorter and it’s softer it’s not compressing or it’s compressing too much the ball’s not curving as much consequently as well so I’m used to the ball flying a certain distance with a certain amount of curve to it when it’s going shorter it’s just
It’s just not curving as much so like normally for me that ball would be going farther and curving more which would bring it back to the center so I’m having to adjust to this golf ball from a curve perspective as well this is this is wild I’m going play it over to the
Right just to be safe try to at least oh hook Ah Ah that’s okay but dang that ball is curving completely different than a normal than a golf ball that I’m using that is wild I’m thankful I’m not playing that right now to change my whole set just because of the golf ball
Have no idea where I am oh my gosh look at this what a lie all right I even I don’t even know how far I should hit it either but that’s okay let going give my best I just feel blind right now playing blind in this yeah I’m going to try and bump
And run it now no if I landish it’s gonna no I got to all right I have to all right here we go bump and run third shot yeah not good ah that came off super soft 10 yards see what I got that’s not bad that actually didn’t
Uh feel that bad disappointing par folks thought it would be a little better but I guess not it’s it is a big change make this all right that’s a par not terrible but this is weird to play with I’m hitting it not that bad but the ball’s
Going way off my line compared to what normal curvature should be with the go with the golf balls that I’m currently playing oh hey guys come check this out you’re going to want to see this today’s sponsor is uh ag1 they uh helped us out with this video but more importantly
Helping me out with my health I obviously went too big too quick and unfortunately man I realized how detrimental that was to my health I got to a level where I was three times the risk of a heart attack and want to make it clear to everybody that the way I did
It was not necessarily the route to go so I took it on myself to take care of my body I want to live like I said to over 100 I got to start taking care of my body a lot more most people don’t get their daily nutrients and vitamins in
And is that you do it just put it in a water water bottle drink up best part is it tastes really good I actually like it I love it all right so you can head to the link in my description or you can scan the QR code
Right here to get a free oneyear supply of vitamin D3 plus K2 and five travel packs with your first purchase of ag1 all right now back to the video we’re going to focus on this Par 3 224 over the Ravine the seven Iron’s probably not enough but who cares I’m going to swing
Hard I got to hit this thing 215 at least 212 oh got there sick I mean shoot that’s on that hole that’s pretty good but look at this the spin rate was almost 7,000 I had a Hu the ball speed was actually not bad but
The spin rate was is really high so ball is spinning a lot more normally my 7even irons is 6,000 spin very interesting but I’ll take it it curved pretty well with an iron I I’ll take that any day of the week all right not too bad it’s so
Going to be tough putt though see if I can sneak a long one in this is a very difficult hole tough pin to get to right to left breaker up massively up the slope I wish you guys could actually see this it’s like up a four and a half 5%
Slope which is crazy but three four 5 42t up a 5% it’s going overall right to left about a foot and a half 2 feet 42 feet going to play 20 more feet 20 more so 60f footer here do it do it all right nice par I will take that
Par that’s one of the most difficult holes out here on the golf Golf Course even par not too bad like I said it’s very difficult to get comfortable with how this Ball’s performing off wedge shots and off the driver so I got to play well coming in if I want to shoot
In the par here let’s hope this ball reacts somewhat normal it’s not going to but I know when I’ve hit range balls in the pass and I’ll hit it off the toe and the heel with this driver it will miss right and will miss left so there’s something to
Do with like the impression of it that makes the ball not react like it does for it to go back to straight in Center Line anyway this is a straightaway hole par4 452 I can make bre in this hole if I hit a good drive I’ll have a wedge into this
Hole stay that should be fine yeah that’s good 82 low spin there I turned it over a little bit 182 ball speed 320 carry it still carry is pretty good but funny thing is the ball flies straighter cuz it’s going shorter I’m not used to that I pulled that I thought
That was in the left trees so it actually went straighter it helped me there um in that situation 133 downwind with a rolled back golf ball I have no clue how far to hit this it’s going to roll out 5 yards 128 downwind 12 116 I’m going to going to try and hit
Something with spin so I’m going to do a 506 stre although it’s going shorter I don’t know how far that’s going biggest problems I have no idea how far this thing is actually going um the first cut but I’m going to try and play this like a 110 shot so
Just about a 10:30 10:30 56 degree oh my gosh do you see the ball rolling like that do you guys see that what is that well another sticky situation that ball landed like halfway on the green it rolled 20 25 yards I’m going to go fix that pitchmark
Okay count this out with me this is it fresh fresh pitch mark four five six 7 8 9 10 15 16 17 18 19 20 27 yards and it got stopped by the rough this thing ran 30 yards it’s 15 mph downwind with a wed shot out of the first cut that’s completely
Uncontrollable that would have been a stroke penalty three4 of the way there come on yeah that’s not good that’s not great another 12-footer I got to make this this is huge for me got this about 5 in out 12T 2% right up there that looks really good
Actually I can still putt that’s a good thing didn’t react there cuz I didn’t think it was actually going to get there but that’s a hell of a far all righty folks this is the hole I have got to birdie it’s a drivable semi- drivable it’s 340 don’t know if I can
Drive it with this like I was saying earlier in in the video but I have to smoke this driver to get it up there I’m going to get the foresight um I’ve been hovering around 182 when normally I’m around like at these speeds like 188 to
90 with my other ball so it’s a pretty significant drop in ball speed almost 6 to 7even miles an hour at my speeds um I’m just going to be honest I don’t like it okay I’m going to put the afterburners on this I want I really
Want to test how far this rolled golf ball actually goes I want to see what it actually can do winds off the right that’s only 87 are you kidding that was perfect though get on the green come on oh let’s go get down the
Hill no way that’s up on top that was a perfect Drive look at this but at 3,000 spin so a little spinni so I got to 187 but it’s 3,000 Spin and only flew 315 is hitting with this like somewhat comparable to hitting with like a range ball or no no no no
The range balls go farther than that no range balls actually go farther than this they don’t have that type of compression this is low I mean I smoked that was like a 195 ball speed here okay let’s do this I’m going to show you guys what a prov1x
Left Dash the fastest one of the fastest golf balls in the market does compare to Nike one tour the rolled back golf ball you saw what that one was for all the viewers and this is what a normal golf ball does that’s a thin ball that’s a perfect you can’t get much
Better than that I landed pretty much in the same spot but I did thin that and that was 2,800 spin that was 5 mph faster already flew 15 yards farther were they saying it was like a 10 11 yard difference nah it’s like 15 to 20 if I
Hit that good it was probably 25 I don’t like it I hit that first ball the Nike one perfectly right on the screws the left Dash actually thinned it pretty poorly and it had 5 mph more ball speed and less spin flew that much farther it’s pretty wild let’s go see
What the difference in distance actually is the first ball landed short of the green the second ball landed right next to the ball where ended up and went over the green so technically for this hole that ball worked really well but this is where technically the second one landed
It’s exactly where the second one landed let’s see where the uh Second Ball is oh yeah it went through the rough that far so shoot that’s 35 40 yards farther definitely okay well I’ve got this for Eagle now down the hill big putt we made
In the last toll if I make this to go 200 that’d be pretty good I want to play this 34 of the way 48 ft 36 this uh I’m actually going to hit this like it’s 48t I’m play 10 12 13 13 ft short 35 footer right here that wasn’t
Good that broke four more feet than what I thought five and a half feet breaks a little left all right pretty straight though what do you see Chase left cup left cup you think what do you think Chase left cup is that what you said you
Think it’s you think it’s left Edge yeah you’re serious you think it’s actually left Edge more like dead straight yeah that’s why Play Right Center though I thought it would bounce a little left in the beginning right we have to work on your green reading skills ch
Alrighty par number eight par 4 straight away this is one of those difficult holes out here no real place to bail got to hit a good t- shot here if I was proxin for the Masters or any other tournament this is a whole L go to and just play over and over until
I got really good at it down down oh that’s that’s perfect that’s perect that Ball’s going nowhere 160 into the wind have to hit like a half shot I’m say my eight iron is going like 19030 so 10 o’ eight iron I’m going to go 10 o00 ad just to
Try to control the trajectory I don’t want it to go too high 164 wow 7,000 spin on a 10 o00 shot with an eight iron that’s actually a lot this is an opportunity to make birdie right here actually I’m going to chip this in so you know what I’m going to even bring
The putter all right that was close that was close guys that ball came off a lot softer though weird but it wasn’t softer it was like it came off more dead with less spin I can definitely say technology has improved the golf ball around the greens that is a big component that people
Don’t realize in playing a old golf ball like this okay I’m going to do the same thing on this hole I’m going to have my foresight tell me how far exactly these balls are going I’m going to use the Nike ball first and we’re going to see
How this thing performs I’m play out to the right this hole slopes to the left it’s a beautiful hole see if I can make birdie to finish it off let’s go I was waiting for somebody to say one but nobody did that’s not that great 178 ball
Speed I pushed the heck out of that one guys yeah it’s a little outside the Fairway let’s go this though see what we got here 85 2000 I’m going to actually I’m going to hit one more good one with the sorry I want to hit one more good ball with a
Nike just to kind of like compare now that I have that one in play and see what this Nike golf ball can actually do I’m going to hit it good too 179 6 mil hour slower that’s actually wild yeah I don’t want to roll back golf ball it’s ridiculous that’s a pretty big
Difference that’s a really big difference in distance all right uh 112 downwind 100 yd shot bear back come on buddy up up up up up up Sit Stay thank you good boy all right try and play this thing 100 yards just over 10 o00 sit question mark no go oh sit
That had zero spin on it but that was a fantastic shot rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling this ball was rolling holy crap that was a wed shot that rolled out freaking eight yards after seeing everything you’ve seen today do you think we should roll the golf ball
Back I’m going to leave it up to you but everything I saw today from my perspective I personally wouldn’t want it three four five 15 ft let’s knock this ball in oh ah that was a good roll dude you see that thing roll end over end this is to break
Par and that’s how you do it folks so that is one under par with a rolled back golf ball

What do you guys think of the USGA's plans to rollback the golf ball?
Could've been a real short video had that 1st tee gone O.B 😂
I wanna cuddle with Bear. What kinda breed is he?
Great stuff! One of the greatest ambassadors of the game ever Mr. DeChambeau.
Does it feel harder to play? Does it make tigers run seem different at all?
Just love watching bryson and how he loves his numbers so cool to watch
Going to be going to the greenbrier and can’t wait to watch you hit it!
It sounds like instead of using an older technology ball for the new rule it would be better to use a new tech ball made to conform to the rule. Once they're available of course. That way maybe most of the same characteristics you are used to could be maintained.
Great video, I can see it now in 4 years Bryson's gonna have his own custom set built specifically for the new balls.
4:47 Bear inspecting the flag hole. He's curious! 🤔😄
I'm just hoping they just keep me in bounds a little better than these "hot" balls.
at 9:07 i was yelling, watch out for that rope!
Imagine for one second those of us, regular "hackers", who play with balls we find on the course. Or those we practice our short game with a bunch of cheaper balls and then we play our rounds with better balls…
The longest hitter in professional golf doesn't want the ball rolled back? Noooooooooo wayyyyyyy…. I can't believe it. I agree, though. That thing sucked.
Don’t listen, AG1 tastes horrible. Still take it tho.
Do both balls back to back every shot with numbers…loving all your videos
Hey bear ❤ it’s your boy georgy from Miami saying what’s up 😅
bryson contnet has become one of my favorite golf content
You should've played two balls. Roll back and prov1, to see the difference.
And if the PGA still isn’t happy they will roll it right back to the feather ball then just like the ball we would all be stuffed 😂.
We want juiced balls, maxed out clubs and the old grooves on wedges. Stop holding us back USGA
If the rollback ball is no good for pro's , what chance do us mere amateurs have ?
I have a feeling rolled back balls will also negatively affect clubs sales. People will see lower distances and think the clubs just didn’t get any better either
You can't use a dog, that's cheating. Video, liked
Really enjoying your channel, its great chill out entertainment !
Rolling back the golf ball is so dumb. Remember when the MLB wanted less home runs and harder to hit baseballs, dumb idea also.
You stated you "thinned it pretty poorly" and it carried 331! Wish I could just carry 250 on my best drive. LOL. Awesome vid.
I’d like to see you hit some illegal balls and see if the proof is in the pudding.
Blaming the golf balls for my lack of skill now, thank you Bryson!
Love the channel! I wouldn't want a rolled back ball. To me it seems like artificially affecting the results, a bit like F1 changing the rules to "make better competition" IMO this is not a great plan for golf.
On the flip side we mortals wouldn't like all our holes to be 50-100 yds further!! Advancing technology is a great part of golf.
Roll back should not happen
Ball rollback is and entertainment rollback
I think the loss of distance from the tee will suck but you would be able to deal with it. The most concerning thing is the lack of spin into and around the greens. Imagine trying to play the US open set ups or a hard British open links and the ball just wont stop.
love the content but on that 7th hole i thought for a second you let Bobby Fairways putt that- nice
Is a ball that old even relevant today?! I hit the same ball, every time. And I don't pick up lost balls anymore. By doing that, there is ONE thing in my game that is consistent! 😝 I do enjoy playing though!! Cool video! Oh, how chowdered up is the ball?
I should just be gaming "confirming" ball right now if the fly straighter
10:40 Yeah bro. When I watched you walking up the hills of Augusta I thought to myself, "I've got to send Bry this video 'bout Wilco Nienaber hopping you could watch it." Wonder if you did. I mean, heart problems in your future was first thing in my mind on the efforts you might have been experiencing carrying all that weight. I was so happy when you started regressing that trend 👍
