Test your golf balls before a tournament guys, many balls are out of balance.

Simply get a glass pour some salt, mix, add water and let your golf ball float, if it stops at different spots everytime, then your golf balls are well balanced, if it stops on the same spot, then there is a heavier size.

My name is Erich and I live in Italy welcome to my channel. I used to play golf on and off for many years, but I started my journey again about 8 years ago, changing my swing completely.

My goal is to become a single figure handicap golfer in the near future.

To achieve this goal, I built my own backyard putting green and set up a backyard golf net. I love playing in my backyard green, doing drills, club reviews and playing at the range and at the course to get better at the game and ultimately reach my goal (hopefully).

all right guys so welcome back to another video so I recently just saw a video on this Shambo he just won the US Open and he was talking about salty bowls basically he explained that before a tournament he checks his balls to make sure that they’re well balanced yeah I put my golf balls and have some salt I’m lucky enough that Connor my manager does that now I don’t have to do it but essentially we float golf balls and a solution to make sure that the golf ball is not out of balance and the way he does that is by adding salt and making sure the the ball if you think about it you know if there’s more weight in one side it’s always going to float like this to one side you drop it either anyway and it’s always going to tend to float to that side so that means that there’s going to be a balance uh this is going to be heavier this side and it’s always going to be like a little bit you know maybe if you hit a draw it’s going to go more to the left or if you hit a fade or slash it’s going to tend to do a little more than it should and same with the putting golf balls are out of balance and it’s just because the manufacturing process there’s always going to be an error especially when it’s a sphere and there’s dimples on the edges you can’t perfectly get it in the center so what I’m doing is finding the the pretty much out of balancedness of it I made a video last year I will put the link over here where I open a brand new box of golf balls and to my surprise from 12 bowls like only four of them were actually well balanced I’m just going to show you a quick way of doing this test you don’t have to have like a big bowl a lot of salt you can just take like a little glass a little yard like this where the golf B is going to fit obviously you need a pencil and salt and water so we take the yard right here you’re going to need a lot of salt for this so just pour some salt uh basically what you want to do is uh the golf ball has to float and in order for that to happen you going to have to add a lot of salt so just put out water to the Salt you got to mix it uh I think you’re supposed to wait until it kind of um turns a little clear uh but if you do it in in this yard right here you don’t have to waste so much salt because last time I used like a big old yard and that was um I had to add a lot of salt for that just give it time in the meantime I’m going to grab my golf ball uh golf ball that actually I play with um I’m going to grab this one right here and this one right here so this is a Callaway Chrome soft and this is a tailor made uh RBZ soft they’re both soft golf balls and I hope that they are balanced because I did play some very um major tournaments with it um and actually I did okay but you know if for some reason uh I did miss a couple of birdies but if it had to do with maybe a bolt not being balanced that would be a Pity I mean golf is already hard enough that you don’t want to make it hard I’m going to go ahead and drop it and see if it floats no it’s not floating yet so if it’s like like this that means we need to add a little more salt so more salt to this okay so more salt that’s why you want to do it in something smaller because it’s going to need a lot of salt and if you use a lot of a big um yard then it’s going to take like almost like a whole pack and you don’t want to waste so much salt so that’s why you can just do it in a in a little glass like this okay so now it should be ready that’s a lot of salt now we’ll grab I’m going to gra uh use my tailor made r set ball I’m going to drop it so once you do that all you got to do is drop the ball and it should float now there we go so now it’s floating and this is what you got to do now you got to grab perfectly a marker but I’m going to use a pen a pencil okay let it float like that okay hopefully you can see that and when it stops you going to uh just mark it on that side so right there I’m just going to grab it I know it’s right there and I’m going to dry I’m going to draw like a little make a little marking right there okay this is where it stopped hopefully you can see that so it’s a little marking okay now I’m going to drop it again from any other side and it should not stop there ah look at this this is not well balanced it sto exactly on the same dot see that so now you’re got to move it and I think this is a ball that is not balanced look at that look how it’s just moving let me get it closer so you can see it see how it’s stopping on the exact same spot this means that this ball is not well balance guys so you know if I’m playing like a like an important tournament I don’t think I want to play with this B you know there’s going to be like a little bias a little more weight on that side you see that stopping on the same spot right there heavy side floats to the bottom and then we Mark the top with a DOT to make sure that it’s always rolling over itself okay so now I have my calow Chrome soft this is a really good bow I love this bow so I’m hoping that it’s balanced because quite disappointing for the other Bowl uh which means I don’t know I mean should I use it if it’s going to make a difference from missing a pot I don’t think I want to use it okay so it’s right there so what I’m going to do is I’m going to grab it and I’m going to make a little marking here I I’m hoping that this one will be good because if it’s not good I’m going to be very disappointed if it’s not good okay so draw a little line in there going to drop it and hopefully it’s going the same yeah it’s doing the same thing so let’s move it around so this is not good either guys I mean I’m playing with balls that are not well balanced this one right here maybe a little better because see how it didn’t go to the exact same spot the spot is right there but it tends to to go to that spot right there maybe you want to do it with like cing water okay actually let me see now I went to a different spot you see that it’s a different spot let’s see so this might be okay then okay actually this is fine this is fine it was just for some reason to stop on the same spot there before and there we go this is well balanced guys my bad let’s see yeah I’m glad okay now I went to that spot right there see the spot right here let me see I will consider this as a well balanced ball so I could actually use it I’m going to put it in my back and leave it there the other one I’m not going to leave it there because I don’t think I want to risk you know missing pots because of of an imbalanced golf ball so this one is good guys right guys so I did the test and I found three well balanc Bowls the one that I tested before and then the RB sets I tested some more of those and I found one un balance and these two were balanced so what I’m going to do I’m going to keep this in my good I guess I’m going to make like a pocket where there’s like good balls and then one on where the balls are unbalance not well balanced so these are going to be my tournament balls guys okay so this bowl is not good and look at this it’s brand new huh so actually what you can do is you can give this to your your opponents you know I’m going to mark it but uh you can actually clean that off it’s just um from my pencil but you can actually give it to your opponents just say hey you want a new Bowl here you go and you know that this is an imbalanced bowl and actually that will guarantee you if you’re play much play I wouldn’t do that guys I’m just kidding but anyways um I’m putting like some markers on this ball so I’m not going to use it I may use it just uh maybe on some training so I’ll put it on this Pockets here on the bottom and then on here I have my good balls so I have so far three really good balls so guys what I would suggest is to do the salt test on every pack that you buy I know it’s a little bit of a pain but I mean if that’s going to make you play better maybe make you miss less spots or maybe you know less of a draw less of a fade you know it could be a difference going in the water or missing a bur pot so for me you know that’s that’s big enough uh deso does it and you know look at him he won the US Open so definitely I think it does have an effect on um on on your putts as well look at Rory maybe on that little putt that he missed for the US Open maybe I wonder if maybe his balls were inbalance guys there you go that’s just a quick way to do it uh you can just do it in a in a glass uh to pull your ball put some salt and test them out guys uh especially if you’re playing an important uh tournament you know I wouldn’t leave anything to chance like I said golf is already hard enough if you’re going to miss a pot because of a ball I think that would be very very unfair so actually you know it comes into mind a lot of times where I miss some like short pots and maybe it wasn’t my fault maybe it was because the ball wasn’t balance so not sure how to prove that but I will definitely keep a good batch of balls in in my pocket in my pocket on my golf bag so guys I hope you enjoyed the video make sure to leave a like and if you haven’t subscribed to the channel make sure to do so thanks

  1. The interview with Bryson and the Salty balls was of course funny. But the balancing thing is a real thing. Coolio. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

  2. Works A1 try it . Balance marks will have no relevance to printing on average golf balls. Was shown how to do it 40 years ago by a top golfer mate.

  3. All that to hit my best slice with "balanced ball" and be sure that i'm bad at golf, no excuses anymore lol
