Bryson Dechambeau’s coach soaks golf balls in water to determine balance

[@timleehenderson]

I find that If you microwave the balls in course ground pepper it helps with straighter putts out to about 83.5 ft. However humidity may require you use a fine ground pepper instead. Find what works for you.

Legitimately did this with a full batch of Taylormade Tour Responses (the ones with the pre drawn thick aim line). Only 2 of them had the low centre of gravity that was on that line. One was nearly horizontal. Marked them and played with one today and shot 1 over for 9 holes (currently a 10 handicap) so best of the season so far!

I invented an air powered golf ball spin balancer several years ago. It avoids all the messy water. After marking the ball during spin balancing, I invented another machine to computer draw a logo and a 360 degree putting line precisely over the weight offset.

[@greasby1golf871]

Does the forward momentum of the ball along with its velocity not counteract the heavy point? An object under force wants to move in the direction of the force so, so surely there would have to be some considerable weight to the heavy side to act against the forward momentum? I mean i guess if the heavy side was on the break side it may extenuate the break but on the same note could you not place the heavy side against the break to straighten the putt?

[@T1up4me12385]

Correct. Best comment yet.

[@chuckyz2]

Do putts roll at 10k rpm?

[@SpudOutdoors]

@@chuckyz2 the point of your comment? Robots have hit unbalanced balls to show that if not on its perfect center it will shift the direction. Soaking is old school and it’s not a perfect method compared to the ball marker that spins up and finds the perfect roll. Crazy enough but it does make a difference and just cause it’s a premium ball doesn’t mean it’s perfectly balanced.

[@chuckyz2]

@@SpudOutdoors the heavy side will always find center. Rather it is a little heavier on one end or lot heavier on that end. Floating can tell you by how fast the heavy end goes to the bottom how far out of balance it is. Also, what happens with a braking putt. Does the line stay in line with the direction the ball is going? Why find the balance when you can actually balance the ball? Why mark an unbalanced ball and put it into play? Why not just find perfectly balanced balls and play them? Or figure out a way to balance the ones that are out of balance? With technology being far more advanced these days than in times past, why is it even an issue? But aside from all that, it is an issue and the most rational solution is not alignment of an unbalnced ball, rather it is how to balance that ball so it is no longer out of balance. With bumps and cleat marks and bouncing and getting kicked one way or the other, the alignment will only be a factor on a perfect green with no undulation. Then you have the situations where the ball is actually spinning at 2k to 10k in the air and how the balance can effect that. As it will cause the ball to turn more to one side or the other or to even stop fading or drawing as much as it would compared to a balanced ball. Then how it is effected on miss hits. The only real solution is a true balance. The closest you can expect to get to that is by floating and removing weight from heavy side till the ball no longer comes up to the same spot every time. Then you have the question of how perfectly round is the ball? My question was just to see if anyone would would respond. Your next Q should be how to remove weight without effecting performance. Your Q's to the manufacturers should be why we have to bother when we know they can make them balanced if they wanted to.

[@TeddyCavachon]

I read that Hogan did the same thing to select the best balanced balls.

[@tradesmith_yt]

He did in fact. These days pros balls get vetted before they even get them from the tour reps.

The bigger the break and the faster the green is, the more your mistake will be MAGNIFIED, including both man-made mistake as well as equipment mistakes like golf balls with center of gravity being off-center. On the tour the green speed rating is usually above 10, and if it breaks more than once which is very likely possible for a 20 foot putt, missing the cup by 20 inches is certainly possible .
