Shop the golf balls Bryson DeChambeau used to win the US Open

Driving Bryson DeChambeau’s unique equipment setup would be an understatement. From using a driver designed for the World Long Drive to single-length, 3D-printed irons, DeChambeau is using clubs no other professional golfer is trying, at least not yet.

While his golf balls may be from Titleist, the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash, in particular, he uses them, too, like no one else in professional golf.

To uncover any manufacturing defects and check the “out of balance” of his golf balls, DeChambeau floats them in a bucket of water mixed with Epsom salts.

Here’s how DeChambeau explained the process Saturday night.

“I soak my golf balls in Epsom salts,” he said. “I’m lucky that Connor, my boss, has done that now. I don’t have to do it. But we actually float the golf balls in the solution to make sure the golf ball doesn’t get out of alignment. There was a big thing back in the day when golf balls were uneven, and it was due to the manufacturing process. There is always a mistake, especially if it is round and there are dimples on the edges. You can’t get it right in the middle.

“So what I’m doing is finding out if it’s out of balance, how much it’s out. The heavy slide floats on the ground, and we mark the top with a dot to make sure it keeps rolling on itself. It works like a mortar. If there is too much weight on one side, you can put it at 90 degrees when you mud on the right or mud on the left. I use mud as a weight reference there. It will fly differently and fly inconsistently.

“For most of the golf balls we get, it’s not that big of a deal. I try to be as accurate as possible, and it’s one more step I take to make sure my golf ball flies as straight as it can because I’m not that good at hitting it straight.”

The Pro V1x Left Dash is also a unique football option in its own right. The ball was originally created by Titleist as a Custom Performance option in 2018 for its tour operators. But because of the positive response, they finally released the balls to the masses.

The ball combines some of the features of both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x by offering a slightly firmer feel than the Pro V1x and a lower ball flight, like the Pro V1, to help players fine-tune their ball flight.
