- Bryson Dechambeau's coach, Mike Schy, shows us how he soaks golf balls in Epsom salt to determine the perfectly-balanced balls and how you can too.

here from 2024 US open salty balls
Throw them out? Throw them my way bro
was thinking same thing lol
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.
I absolutely started laughing my damn house down with this comment😆 you’re awesome mate 👍🏼
Well done sir!
Timothy Henderson no salt?
old bay works better man, i found pepper is helpful on only indoor mini golf courses. Well we all knew Bryson was crazy, only makes sense he would surround himself with crazier folk to make himself feel better lol
Thanks that really made me laugh Timothy!
Have you experimented doing it during different phases of the moon too? Logically, that & your star sign might make a dramatic difference.....but I suppose that would only be at high altitude & if you were wearing a turquoise top 😆

I actually had some lessons with this Mike (Schy) back in the late 80’s - early 90’s. Good dude. He carried Bryson’s bag at the US Amateur that Bryson won.
what kind of bag did he win
Thanks for posting
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.
How're you doing?
I did this. I found that all the balls when rotated in the solution came to a different balance point. This leads me to believe that the balls I tested were so close to being perfect there was no off balance. I even tried different salt level solutions and temperatures.
Yea can the camera guy stop choking? Can’t hold it together for 5 minutes...
Ffs I’m on 4th round with same srixon blue. Seems fine. Battered but fine 👍💪🏌️♂️
Why aren’t mine floating? Brand new ProV1x’s and they sink to the very bottom! And I put 4 lbs of Epson salt. 🤔
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?
One drive from DeC and test it again.
At this moment anyone who thought DeChambeau was some sort of quantum physics/chemistry/scientific genius just decided otherwise.
Bryson is extremely intelligent and like so many highly intelligent people he also appears to be a bit eccentric.
rizzo69ca wow. Such angry abt soaking some golf balls. You on the same TREN regime as Bryson my guy??
It now makes sense he in Bryson’s coach they are just different
I'm calling b.s. a spike mark would be like a nuclear bomb in comparison to a ball being off balance by 50mg
I have done this before and I don’t know if coincidence or not but I cracked quite a few balls maybe salt did something to ball
OLD News, Dave Pelz talked about this 40 years ago.
Seems somewhat logical. Would have been interesting to see how some of those super off center Callaway ChromeSoft Balls from last season would react. But at the end of the day, I'll put this in the, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" category. At least with my handicap !
you all probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

Is it April the 1st?
They make a device that makes a full circle around the ball on its perfect balance. Spins over 10,000 rpms. It works good
Correct. Best comment yet.
Do putts roll at 10k rpm?
@@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.
@@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.
I remember some golfers (Bill Glasson specifically) using a high speed spinner on the old balata balls back in the day. Balata balls were notorious for going out of round. The funny thing is that Bryson and Glasson both grew up in the Fresno/Clovis, CA area where I live. Must be something in the water...
Wow I didn't know this
No golf ball will deviate that much in 20 feet
If it’s on a tour green with 10+ speed rating and if it breaks more than once(which is very likely from 20 feet), then yeah it’s totally possible.
Do you have any evidence of this? Backing up your claim or do you always like to tell people who have obviously done several hours of research into it they’re wrong and your right?
How can a golf ball be "balanced" but have a heavy side ?
Tiger has how many wins?
Reminds me of van halen with brown m&m's
Ah... but there was a certain brilliance involved with Van Halen wanting M&Ms in the dressing room but NO brown ones.
This one "minor consideration" was buried within Van Halens contracts with entertainment venues on purpose. If Van Halen management walked into the dressing room and there WERE brown M&Ms there they then knew for sure that other things in the contract were also missed... it was then time to find out what.
Bro this kind of stuff is absurd. He said a golfball that is 50 milligrams off makes the putt miss by 20 inches on a 20 foot putt. That's laughably absurd.
He said 20 inches OFFLINE, didn’t say it was a dead straight putt without any breaks, also obviously he wasn’t taking about the greens on your everyday municipal golf courses. 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
.
If this is what Bryson needs to do yo feel confident than more power to him. Every golfer is wired differently and obviously Bryson is wired like no one else out there right now.
@Dan Myers doesn’t hurt to add science and physics. It’s just gonna make everything easier on you and more understandable
@@danmyers9372 yeah, like a nut job.
@rizzo69ca You can be embarrassed for him, I'll be embarrassed for you haha. Talk about people making an ass of themselves... look in the mirror bro
I read that Hogan did the same thing to select the best balanced balls.
He did in fact. These days pros balls get vetted before they even get them from the tour reps.
Whaaaaaat. De Chamburger owning the science.
I might soke myself in a tub of Epsom salts each time I go out and play around, coz I get told by my play'n buddy's your swing is off balance it might get me back on plane,,, 😋
@@cw1877 at this point I'm ready to blame anything! Specific gravity sounds plausible enough
What did I get myself into 😳 this sport is going to be very expensive 😅
Everytime I put the ball in the water...I just take a drop. . .
Superintendent is loosing his mind watching you with that salt water on that grass.
Lead tape on the ball? Isn't that illegal?
ok so i fell for it. got the same epsom salt he did. added about the same amount of water he did to a small container. added so much epsom salt that it could no longer dissolve. all of the balls i have sank (pro v1).
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheCarty1986 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You just saved me a few bucks :)
You also need to add 40 pounds of muscle to make balls float 😂
How about working on getting DeShamslow playing faster.
i’m just trying to find a copy of templetons book! lmao😅
I actually throw out the balls and putt the box.
Two words. Check go. Same thing without the mess.
Whaaaaat???? So based on this, the tee shots that Bryson hits 40 yards deep in trees OR onto ant holes, MUST have NOT been tested because certainly Bryson doesn't miss hit balls.
The guy videoing this procedure asked to get closer. The guy doing the procedure says keep your covid 19 cough away from me!!!
This was awesome
Relatable
F***ing hell Bryson just hit the ball
Pretty sure Titleist and Calloway spin their balls to find that balance point before they mark them, making all of this moot. As far as I know, the aiming line on those balls is the spot where it's perfectly balanced and will roll straight.
I just tested a few ProV1s. Not a single one lined up with an aiming point.
@@jeffhaman9010 I have done this test with 30 premium balls (duplicate with some) and all EXCEPT ONE were unbalanced (including Pro V1, V1x, ., -, chrome soft ans X). The aiming line is not aligned either
don't do this on your lawn unless you like dead grass. you can buy a ball spinner too to find the centerline of the ball.
Or just buy Titleist or Calloway. Other manufacturers might have started doing it since, but last time I checked those two are the only manufacturers that spin their balls before they mark them.
@@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz I'll have to recheck those on my Check-Go spinner to see if the new balls with alignment marks are balanced prior to marking. Last time both PV1 and CS were also out of balance when I spun them. Mass market manufacturing of golf balls is getting better. mygolfspy.com/mygolfspy-ball-lab/
I shank all my putts 1 deg off centre, so balancing them will only make me miss. Straight is the hardest shot in golf right? 😂
Hogan used the bathtub.
No it won’t. That’s why you couldn’t show us
Target is out of Epsom salt.... is everyone now balancing their golf balls?
Nothing new here. Ben Hogan used to do the same thing.
Talk about diminishing returns... "20 inches off line on a 20 foot putt" is outrageous... Need to check your methodology there.
He said 20 inches OFFLINE, didn’t say it was a dead straight putt without any breaks, also obviously he wasn’t taking about the greens on your everyday municipal golf courses. 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.
It's all science to me.
lol, looks like you were given busy work during the quarantine, wtf
He's not taking into account those of us who snap load our power package
cool science project! How many majors has he won?
@Alex Butler Bryson Dechamboner will never win a major! Hes focused on working out, science magic tricks, and thinking he knows better about how clubs work then all of golf history. He spends all of his time doing everything except actually just focusing on golf.
@@patrickfullsail2011 I don't know about your predictions, but since he is one of the top golfers in the world, the rest of your comment is kinda silly.
@@TheGenieLover no he's a bozo deluxe
@@patrickfullsail2011 See what I mean? Silly.
@@patrickfullsail2011 I'll put any amount of money that he wins one
The coughing cameraman needs to be tested.
I should be able to shave 10 or more strokes
Of all the variables in golf, you would have to be ridiculously OCD to get to this point where you are doing this, but hey if it floats your balls...
Didn't float for me
Coughing and sneezy were filming? Seriously?
I love hating everything related to Bryson's game. I love it. It's just so easy. Teach him to play real golf
Colonel Templeton? You expect us to believe you're not making this shit up?
homie filming had covid in 2020 ha
My next coach will be a Rocket Scientist.
Don't think Tiger's caddie does this C**P and he has won how many majors 🤔,,, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or to save time just buy Pro V1 instead of balls with poor quality control.
Man that background music is annoying
this is rediculous and absurd. he's trying to get pay raise or justify existence should be embarrassed
I agree.
I think he is taking the piss 🤔😬
Cameraman is allergic to grass
... or salty balls. 😏
Oh for Christ's sake!
Bollocks
I just read a lot of the posts in reply to this ball floating in the video. And going by what a lot of the golfers here have posted about this all being a bunch of nonsense. I can FULLU understand why so many golfers can't break 100. It would appear that they are just too stupid to learn what can and does effect how a golf ball rolls and how it flies off the tee. Believe it or not, what was stated in the video is TRUE. And it does make a difference for every golfer smart enough to use the information found in the video.
I literally can't believe the amount of people commenting that this is either nonsense, not worth the time and effort and money, along with the people who discredit it just because Bryson is doing it.
I've been doing this for 30 years, literally since I started playing golf, because I read that Ben Hogan used to do it back when he was on Tour. Granted, back in his day a serious tour pro needed to do it due to the lax manufacturing standards of the time compared to today. I think a lot of commenters are complaining about the method because they don't like Bryson, not because the method doesn't work.
@@BenjaminMcCormickCreative Lax manufacturering standards? They weren't "lax standards"... they were doing the best they could with the technology that was available at that time.
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 I disagree. It wasn't until the big-name pros started complaining about the quality and consistency that the manufacturers started tightening up on QA standards. The ones who started to focus on quality were the brands that became more successful as time went on.
And yet he gets all of the balls for free? lol
This is old news.
I’m definitely doing this now
Tell you a little secret the Dollai Lama once told me…If you want 350 yard straight drives every time dip your balls in a ice cold solution of honey and coconut water…the coconuts must come from the Wagga Wagga tree on Island St. Vincent in Bahamas and the honey from the Tibetian Klandathu honey tree. Whilst dipping yoh must chamt the words Gungalagunga 20 times. So I tried it and you know what…..I was bombing my drives on av 330 and straight. Only side effect I had was my scrotum became very saggy and chicken skin like and my pubic hairs on my balls turned white as if from old age which my Fiance found a bit disgusting.😂😂😂
VERTICAL VIDEO??? NOOOOOOO
What a load of absolute bollix
Nothing new here...
Camera guy is terrible!
Jesus Christ I knew Jeffrey Epstein was alive 😱
Golfers finding any excuses these days 😆😆
Camera man doing coke?
I don't know about you guys but while watching this video I get the impression that his coach doesn't buy what he is being asked to do. I mean maybe a little bit of the science behind it but it isn't enough of a difference to make a difference. You think Tiger Woods did this nonsense? Lol definitely not .
I think you are onto something. When you are getting paid big money to coach a rising star there no doubt is bound to be some ass kissing.
Yep, he's trying to make himself into what he thinks Bryan wants him to be. Yes, I said Bryan.
FFS. get closer and get a shot of the ball in the container. so obvious its obvious. jeez....
And why isn’t he winning every tournament then?😳
“if you wanna save some money, putt with a better golf ball, this is what id do”
meanwhile, he’s throwing out 3-9 dollars every dozen, buying lead tape, markers, pitchers, water, salt etc . But you know it saves money 😅🤷🏼♂️🙃😂
How much more money will a tour pro make on a tournament if he makes one extra putt every two rounds? This seems like a no brainer.
U have this kind of coach. I suggest change it.lol
MIke Schy needs to find a real job. This is such a waste of time. Bryson DeChambeau must have OCD because his whole shtick is absurd.
The negative comments here call this idea nuts but don’t say why. Explain please.
Because if it were true, DoucheShampoo would be winning every week or at least placing 2nd or 3rd. The guy is a fucking head case and tries to science his way out of shit instead of saying “well maybe I hit a bad shot”
Mr. Surly Nobody wins every week or even places 2nd or third every week. Nobody. You still haven’t shown that the idea here is wrong.
Flounder VFW These great players did win many tournaments, but that has nothing to do with idea that out-of-balance balls may not roll true. Someone had to win those early tournaments and if NO ONE was paying any attention to poorly weighted balls, then it had no impact on who won. So again, explain how an out-of-balance ball rolls as true as one that is not.
Craig Piersma lmao do you think that the Titleist QA department is that bad that the balls are gonna be that unbalanced? Someone’s gotta believe Dooshampoos idiocy, might as well be another idiot.
Mr. Surly You, sir, are aptly named.
Sorry keep the covid cough and shite can the f-in music; so aggravating!
Someone needs to teach the Physics major's coach some physics...a perfectly balanced ball is not going to spin in the water...that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life (Please see Newton's Laws).
If you told Mr. Dechambeau that mixing parrot droppings and vinegar together and soaking golf balls in that mixture made them travel farther, he would very likely try it. What I'm so delicately trying to say is that his name can safely be removed from the list of people who might win a Nobel Prize.
What a joke. Just play
