You should play another round with 2 balls, one normal and one rolled back hitting the same club for each shot like a one man scramble. That would show the difference between the 2 different balls performance!
Love it. Every bit of food (or drink) is just like a drug. The sooner we learn that, we can start to deal with all kinds of health problems. And rolled back golf balls don't look like much fun to me either.
It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard them do. And to blame it on a soft excuse like golf courses are running out of room. Maybe golf course architecture needs to change. Some of the best golf holes are short par 4’s and short par 3’s
@brysondechambeau ok if the PGA, R&A and whomever else want to grow the game, this is definitely a step backwards. Im 42 & ironically have the same birthday as Tiger Woods. I grew up watching him turn golf from a boring old mans game to a SPORT and a huge part of that was how fit he was & how far he outdrove his competitors. Rolling back the golf ball is basically like taking homeruns out of professional baseball, its asinine. So hear me out, since you're obviously a top player in the world with various connections throughout the golf world...What if an event was created called the "Vintage Classic" or something more catchy, and for that 4 day tournament professional golfefs had to play with vintage equipment?? Each year it could rotate & use one of the "shorter" non-bomber courses & both the course & professional entity win!! I think it's way better than rolling back the ball which effectively still gives the longer hitters an advantage & the shorter hitters a bigger disadvantage now. Give a rolled back golf ball to Corey Pavin & he's never a tour player, or Kuchar or David Toms...etc. PGA got this wrong & I wont play golf any longer with rolled back balls.
Nobody could convince me you aren't the most interesting golfer to watch bar none. It was a pleasure walking with you the last 2 rounds at the Greenbrier and witnessing 61, 58. You were so nice to our sweet puppy also signing her harness. Cheers bro 👍
@HughJorgan1 oh yes. He finished on 7 on Saturday after his 61 and we met him next to the green. He signed our pups harness and was petting her. We went all 3 days and followed him the last 2 days all 18 holes. Got wet the last few holes but it was worth it....
Just when I thought Bryson couldn't be any more relatable. Hooks 1 drive... Man this pulls a lot more than normal! Hits the next one dead straight.. "I'm used to the ball curving more"... 😂
Bryson!!! Congrats on an epic win this weekend! TWO TIME BABY! Unbelievable effort and that final pressure cooker of a putt! 👌 you are on fire brotha!! 👏👏👏
What I appreciate the most about your video's Bryson is that you have a way of explaining things that make it easy to understand, even if it's something fairly complex. Another great video! Love seeing the fur buddy out there having a good time as well.
Bryson's quickly becoming (or already is) the best RUclips golfer out here. Love his vids. Having said that, i think the pro golfers could do fine with the rollback. But just leave it at the pro level. Certainly from the late 90's to early 2000's they managed to adjust their game with the better stuff quickly enough (revolutionary golf balls and revolutionary driver faces). Seems like it took about one day for almost the entire tour to make a ball change after one big Tiger victory at the 2000 US Open with the new ball 😄
But why? Long drives are exciting, low scores with lots of birdies are exciting rounds to watch. So the winning score is -16 instead of -6 Why handicap the greatest players in the game?
@@Blueberry_vrgames Bryson's been the man from the beginning. He does things his way, doesn't make excuses (except that Puma driver the one time 😂) , and is constantly trying to improve. The golf media is blindly simping for Tiger and the PGA Tour and tries to make villains out of anyone going against their narratives.
The fact that Bryson's carry with the rolled back ball that he isn't happy with are numbers that any average golfer would dream of with non-rollback balls is insane
Like every corporation companies will do what brings them profit. If they realize that amateur won’t buy the ball they won’t go through with it. even if they do, they likely still sell and not conforming model and I doubt most amateurs are going to switch to something designed to hold pros back when most amateurs have the opposite problem. It’s going to be like the version of a set of blades amateurs are going to use it.
Bryson, your social media content while being a professional golfer is unmatched. You truly make time to do 2 full-time jobs, and as a “RUclips Golf Fan”, THANK YOU!
As I remember Bryson in college at SMU? was a physics major, but I could be off on this. I love how he crunches the numbers on the course. No wonder he has to have his clubs in tune with the golf ball while others do it mainly by "feel". I just love his videos.
I am new to playing golf and I rely heavy on feel when I watch these videos I’m so amazed with how much information there really is it’s pretty awesome . The more you know the more u grow
Thank you for making your videos! I like hear the thought process and geometry/arithmetic....it makes sense to me and is helping me on the course...and I'm a 53 year old hack...but I LOVE the game and have since I was 12.
I've always hoped there would be a tournament where a select few of today's top players would play a tournament using equipment Arnie, Jack, Lee and Gary used in their hey day in the 60's. That was shot making at it's finest. Balata balls, persimmon woods, and old school forged irons. How would today's top players do? How many would be willing to accept the challenge? Thanks for doing this video, Bryson. It's probably as close as I'll get to seeing old school equipment compared to today's high tech stuff.
It was more entertaining for sure watching those old tournaments. I don't think your average amateur golfer is beniffeting from the new balls as much as the pros though as they likely aren't buying the best of them. I've played with balata balls and cheaper soft modern balls and if anything the Balata was a bit better.
The balata ball could go far. It was a matter of reducing spin. The longest players used a bit of a lift motion at impact. Trevino talked about this. And I saw it in action, in players who could hit three woods off the tee. With prodigious distance. Ala Freddie Couples. I watched amateurs successfully execute this motion too though
It would be great to see Bryson play a 2-ball in these types of videos. A h2h of current vs old-tech so that we actually see the difference in distance and control. I would say the same when he played with the rental clubs. Great vid!
I really honor what your doing here. Your a smart man. Cultivating a culture and a brand and improving your craft. This channel is just a good example of how to live.
Bryson, I've been a fan (and player) of golf for the last 48 years. I cannot remember enjoying watching a player like you since Jack Nicholas. There is more to entertainment than just great accomplishments, and your off the course behavior is just as important to me. No one is perfect, but some are closer than others. Keep it up - you are appreciated. I hope my sons and I are able to meet you in Valhalla this May.
Thanks again for a great video Bryson. I would love it if you can continue with these types of stuff. Now maybe next time talk about what you would've done instead of rollback golfboll that would make more sense and then if possible play a round with that solution. Also would love to see a golf simulator showing between these golf balls and somewhat how it can affect different pro golfers, can anyone benefit from it? How will amateur golfers like myself with 15 hcp, with drives around 250-260 carry hurten my game? Im struggling as it is with high spin drives, and to reach par 5 on second shot. 10-15 yards less would demolish my chances to ever go for a eagle on a par 5.
How are you so relaxed Bryson? Probably one of the best minds in golf. You don’t over complicate it and it looks like you’re having so much fun. Crazy..
Can’t wait for you to win the Masters this year. Will be pulling for you big time. Hopefully the television coverage will not be biased against the LIV guys. Also good luck in Miami next week, will be watching on LIV+, love the fact that you can watch every shot, of every player with their online coverage, with the tour would offer the same.
Bryson doing the Lord's work and showing how good the rule change will be for fans. Watching players of this caliber shot make and navigate the penal areas of the course as intended is going to be so much better for the long-term health of the game.
I’m 39. I played Maxfli Revolution, Dunlop Double Titanium, and Strata growing up. My senior year of high school (2003) I played a Nike ball and picked up 20 yards. The golf ball does need to be rolled back a bit. It’s overdue. I’d love to see Bryson play a LIV event with this ball. Give him a few rounds he will figure it out.
Super interesting and fascinating video. I am a golf fan, but I haven't played in years. Still love the game when it's played at a high level. Its really engaging hearing you talk out your thought process for every action. Very engaging. Never boring. Cheers dude!!
I wish that on the pro tours, you did use a different ball. At the level of skill people like Bryson have, using a golf ball that is more punishing and doesn't travel as far would be a great thing. Those "slight heel" hits that end up in the rough instead of in the fairway is exactly the point. Not being always able to carry that bunker that was strategically placed is a good thing. That's why the designer put it there. These are all things that amateurs deal with during a round of golf since just not as skilled as the pros are, so seeing them have to compete in the same way would be great.
I like the roll back. one thing I noticed is the less spin out of the rough. Instead of bombing it into the rough and flipping wedges that stop like a dart. This ball could make hitting the fairways more of a premium.
after 34 years of NOT playing golf, last played when i was 18 years old, i found your channel and I am now so into it, about to go out and buy a new set, cant stop watching your channel, think you are absolutely brilliant, your channel doesn't just show you playing golf, but all aspects of your life, finding it fascinating , Dont get much chance to see the really golfers, thank you for what you do, a life time fan, best of luck at the masters , and all that you do, would love to watch you live, but dont really get the opportunity that often here in the UK and darn cant get tickets to the british open, but will be watching your on sky tv,
I’m a student of the history of the game and its equipment. Prior to it’s introduction in the US primarily by Harry Vardon in the early 1900s when the wound rubber liquid core ball had replaced gutta percha all courses in Europe were links style layouts on relatively flat terrain. The significant difference in early US courses was they had to be designed around a much greater variation in terrain where the art of shaping shots is what came to separate the pros from the recreational golfers. I learned the game in the early 1980s with Jack Nickluas’ 1970s ‘Golf My Way’ as my guide and what resonated the most was his statement that he never saw a shot as straight with a very simple explanation of what makes a ball curve in the air like the banked wing of an airplane-tilting the spin axis by swiping across the back of the ball from the outside (slice spin) or the inside (hook spin) and that the goal underlying doing that wasn’t just navigating doglegs off the tee with driver but to predictably control where the ball hops and rolled on the green with approach shots and being able to avoid hazards by starting the ball at them but steering it away back to the center of the fairway. That made a huge amount of sense to me so I practiced the techniques he suggested until I could shape shots both ways, not always with perfect success, but keeping the ball on the green much more often that I had been when I only saw every shot as dead straight and anything less as failure. The reason shaping shots was a rewarding strategy was because the course designers oriented greens to fairways and placed bunkers around the them in a way to reward golfers who had the skill to shape shots and penalize those who couldn’t. The strategy is simple and analogous to landing a plane on a runway. Regardless of the shape of the green you look at the pin placement and the greatest distance from edge of green to pin then try to bring the ball in on that line. So if a the longest dimension edge to pin from runs left to right relative to the fairway / the ideal approach shape is a fade and if the green runs the opposite direction \ a draw will be more likely to keep the ball on the green and guide it closer to the hole. Last week I got an eagle on a par 5 with a approach shot with about 20 yards of right to left draw. It was 125 front 135 pin to a back left pin on a green that was perpendicular to the fairway. I hit my second shot to left side of the fairway to set in up them aligned my stance like so far right of the green one of my playing partners commented ‘do you know you are aiming at that house over there?’ Had I been hitting the ball straight I would have used my 9i but the path I was planning for the ball was much longer and higher so I used my 5i, landed it exactly on the right edge of the green saw it kick left and roll towards the pin, hit it and drop in. In was the most rewarding shot I’ve hit in probably the last ten years. Why? I defeated the hole the way it was designed to be challenged, not by plopping a 60° wedge shot hit 135 yards dead straight. Yeah, that’s another way to play the game but for me it’s not nearly as much fun or as challenging and at age 72 just can’t hit a lob wedge that far 😂
Nice to see your dog with you. I play a local 9 hole, and they allow me to have my 15 pound Cairn Terrier with me, but tethered to my bag. His walk, my round, win win.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an entertaining golf video. Also learned a new expresson (I am german) "Oh my gosh". How nice. Thank you Bryson.
I’ve found it’s not that much harder than putting with an expensive putter. Go play a round with 3 clubs and don’t bring the putter. You’d be amazed at how well you do.
I love seeing the perspective of a pro golfer testing the "roll back" on a course and showing the differences of the balls. So, thank you for that! I wonder if the new rolled back balls will have better spin rates and performance around the greens using newer covers and such. It would also be interesting if they made pros switch between normal balls and rolled back balls depending on the course length. Either way, I'll still watch👍
If the PGAT keeps playing courses which favour long hitters, they could play with Ping Pong balls and not change anything.... The LIV event in Hong Kong the other week was a great example of what is needed. Totally different course and totally different leaderboard. Just tested other parts of everyone's game...
Pretty much what he did in the video too lol--not lack of skill, but mistakes. My favourite was when he just shoved a three wood right and dead straight from the rough and said--'the curve is so weird with this ball'....
@@jordan3305 It's 100% not the ball when it's pushed straight right with a fairway wood from the rough. Any ball in the world is going exactly on that line. If you consider that the ball is flying 10% even 15% shorter, and reckon that curvature is usually a fraction of distance especially with a good player, there is no way the difference in curvature is the 25 yards between the middle of the right rough and the middle of the fairway. We're talking 5-10 yards max. If anything newer balls generally spin less than older ones off the driver fairway woods especially.
I think a lot of us would be super intrigued to watch you do a head to head ball comparison round using the Quad for the numbers. That way you could ensure the same swing speed, & compare the difference in ball speed & distance when swinging the exact same speed using a currently confirming golf ball vs what a rollback ball is going to be. People may actually realize a lot of the pushback against rolling it back has quite a bit to do with course management, not just distance alone. A pro golfer needing to relearn what each individual club is capable of is a huge slap in the face to people like you that work your ass off your whole life to get as dialed in as you & other pro golfers are.
No rollback!!!!! Next they will want to go back to persimmon drivers... Bryson, your content is GREAT!!!!! Thanks for embracing RUclips and bringing us along. Good luck at the Masters. We will be cheering you on from Missouri and Alaska!!!!
They are not ruining golf. Its become ridiculous where even a you tube golfers can reach every par 5 in a drive and a 7 iron. Golf pro like bryson driving 350 yard par 4. Something has to be done to make it more difficult again. Putting tees back only does so much so introducing the rollback ball might make a difference.
@@paulimeson4689i agree completely but mostly because i don't want to see the great courses become irrelevant. yes, you can try to push the tees back but only to a point. and yes you can grow the rough and shrink the fairways and greens, but that isn't an improvement. in fact, altering some of these courses to accommodate ever-longer hitters is sorta an insult to the entire game and tradition of golf. pebble beach is now a course where a pga pro might shoot in the 50's. that's no bueno.
Good, they should never have changed from wooden drivers. It's like if baseball was played with huge metal clubs 3 times the size as they are now. Golf has turned into the bulper bowling of golf.
You should play a round using this ball and your current ball side by side for a direct comparison in real time. Tee up with one and then immediately hit the other
I think if theyre gonna roll back the ball, they should just make it spin more. Would reward shotmakers and people who can take spin off the ball and add it. Coincedentally a lot of those shotmakers are the shorter hitters that this ball will affect most. Otherwise every major winner moving forward is gonna look like Bryson just to compete.
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.
@@PawPawGreg That nike golf ball probably just doesn't have the same type of cover as the modern premium golf balls. That seems like something that probably won't be an issue with the rolled back balls they will be making. They will likely maintain similar spin characteristics around the greens, but with less distance off the tee.
Ball is going to spin more. They're going to be able to figure it out. It's going to be harder to control the ball in the wind. I need all the spin I can get. I played my best golf with the Titleist tour balata. I'm obviously a lot older now, but we'll see how things go.
@@neilrobinson7965 Managed to do what? Play golf? Of course, but they were playing at a time that technology was moving forward and they were adding distance to the game over time. Now they are going backwards and trying to artificially remove distance from the game. It feels really gross to be honest. Why not just add more trouble at these really long distances to make the risk much higher for players that can hit it far enough to reach that trouble?
@@cobra7282 because it costs a shitload more money to redesign every golf course. Money that most courses don’t have. It might not be possible to modify many golf courses either. Just lower the specification of the balls so they don’t go as far. Problem solved.
Seeing how much a simple change from one premium ball to another affected Brysons game so much.. I'd love to see him play with a regular rented set of clubs.
He did post something like that about 2 months ago... (...where he played with a regular rental set). Link below: ruclips.net/video/3xxsGOYwsXA/видео.htmlsi=lGShTpQISp0gCsTv
I like the roll back. Emphasises your ability to hit it long. Shorter hitters will have to maximise their strengths of accuracy and iron play. The ball seems to be doing exactly what the game needs
I get a little emotional when I watch Bryson. Won't lie. A little long winded backstory. I'm 34 years old. I played golf first time when I was 14 years old after I got my first job it was something I wanted to get into with my father. My father a single father of 3 kids wasn't a lot of expendable money in the household to pay to play golf alot. We played about 10 times. My father always played slow pitch softball on his time off. His first time playing his first drive went over 300 and dead straight the excitement on his face was priceless. He shot an 82 first time playing, the man was an athlete at 5'7 he dunked in high school. He was 42 at the time. Well I didn't play again until about 2019. I got him back into it. Shortly after he had a massive heart attack, he's still alive but it started to get where his days were numbered playing. 2 years ago he had a rotator cuff surgery and tommy johns. Attempted to take him out last Father's day and it was his last time he said he's done can no longer play he can't lift his shoulder. Never saw the man shoot over 90 but that day. He shot a 98 and on 17 he drained a 40 footer. But last hole 405 par 4 hole number 1 because we had to start on hole 2. But I've hit every par 4 green but this one. Its 28 yards downhill so plays more like 370ish kept telling him in the cart I'm going to swing like Bryson and get this green had never pared a course needed an eagle to do so. Well wind was helping also it was 13 mph I swung out of my shoes I think we calculated the ball would been around 330 at the time I'd never hit a ball over 305. But the wind and downhill helped I drove the green. I was 8 feet out putted for eagle. First time I pared a course but I remember saying Bryson on my back swing. One of my fondest memories then seeing that this guy is genuinely a good guy. But that was the wildest time ever playing. The super saw me hit it and said he cant count on one hand the amount of times that green was drove. I had my father sign the ball. Only ball I ever kept. I lost my first hole in one ball first eagle but I just knew it's his last time and first time it was special
Really enjoy the running commentary. Like hearing what you're thinking. I don't think it really matters, you guys are going to break par no matter what ball you play or which clubs you use. I'll bet if you had a year to practice you could shoot under par with the same clubs and balls that Bobby Jones used. Great will shine through.
It was interesting to see you do a comparison with your Pro V ball on those two holes. When you do more of this type of video - Maybe play the 2 different balls the whole game ???
In my opinion this is a testament to how impressive Tigers career really was when you keep in mind what equipment he played with for a good portion of his career. Imagine him being 23 years old right now with these drivers and balls from today?
Tiger/Jack/Hogan/Jones - statement works for any of them. Much more so the last three listed. Tiger has had access to newest technology for most of his career.
@@michaeldelbo2900 I don't disagree... but I was simply referring to this particular era of technology from when this ball was out. Don't over think it.
Great video. I'm against the rollback. I'm an ordinary golfer, I hit my driver 200 - 250 yrds. If someone as skilled as Bryson hates a rollback golf ball, what chance have we all got! Leave the ball alone and just let us all continue to enjoy the great sport of golf.
I think the argument could be made the opposite way then with your statement. If there’s minimal changes, why go through all of this anyways and why not just keep things where they’re at? The average score at most courses has remained relatively the same for a long time. Courses could also do very easy things to adapt the longer driving distance such as tighter fairways, longer rough, tougher pins, etc.
Bryson is actually a genius. And it’s not to do with any math stuff. He’s made a video that is going a bit viral in the golf world, and he’s getting his fans AND his haters to watch because they are all salivating at the thought of the ball going shorter for some weird reason lol. But he is once again putting on a masterclass in creating engaging content. Please keep it coming

I don't think your average amateur golfer is beniffeting from the new balls as much as the pros though as they likely aren't buying the best of them. I've played with balata balls and cheaper soft modern balls and if anything the Balata was a bit better.
The balata ball could go far. It was a matter of reducing spin. The longest players used a bit of a lift motion at impact. Trevino talked about this. And I saw it in action, in players who could hit three woods off the tee. With prodigious distance. Ala Freddie Couples. I watched amateurs successfully execute this motion too though
@@poocrayon4588 I'm old and played them in my youth. I totally agree.
that would be cool
It would be great to see Bryson play a 2-ball in these types of videos. A h2h of current vs old-tech so that we actually see the difference in distance and control. I would say the same when he played with the rental clubs. Great vid!
your helping the game grow 100%. I just can't get over you making content. it's all so good! lets go Bryson!
I really honor what your doing here. Your a smart man. Cultivating a culture and a brand and improving your craft. This channel is just a good example of how to live.
Bryson, I've been a fan (and player) of golf for the last 48 years. I cannot remember enjoying watching a player like you since Jack Nicholas. There is more to entertainment than just great accomplishments, and your off the course behavior is just as important to me. No one is perfect, but some are closer than others. Keep it up - you are appreciated. I hope my sons and I are able to meet you in Valhalla this May.
Thanks again for a great video Bryson. I would love it if you can continue with these types of stuff. Now maybe next time talk about what you would've done instead of rollback golfboll that would make more sense and then if possible play a round with that solution. Also would love to see a golf simulator showing between these golf balls and somewhat how it can affect different pro golfers, can anyone benefit from it? How will amateur golfers like myself with 15 hcp, with drives around 250-260 carry hurten my game? Im struggling as it is with high spin drives, and to reach par 5 on second shot. 10-15 yards less would demolish my chances to ever go for a eagle on a par 5.
I love this, we know Bryson is the best to analyse this change.
Bryson we def need to see more mic'd up tournamnets please.... i love the inside the mind, in the moment, those are the tips we need
Going to be going to the greenbrier and can’t wait to watch you hit it!
How are you so relaxed Bryson? Probably one of the best minds in golf. You don’t over complicate it and it looks like you’re having so much fun. Crazy..
Bryson is quickly becoming my favorite RUclips golfer
Bryson has the best golf content on RUclips. This was a fascinating comparison. Golf is hard enough as it is fight the rollback brother!
Feeling pretty good about my 2 handicap back in the 90s right about now. Awesome to see how much the game has evolved.
Can’t wait for you to win the Masters this year. Will be pulling for you big time. Hopefully the television coverage will not be biased against the LIV guys. Also good luck in Miami next week, will be watching on LIV+, love the fact that you can watch every shot, of every player with their online coverage, with the tour would offer the same.
I’ll watch every video with bear in it multiples times. Golf needs more good bois!!❤
Bryson doing the Lord's work and showing how good the rule change will be for fans. Watching players of this caliber shot make and navigate the penal areas of the course as intended is going to be so much better for the long-term health of the game.
I’m 39. I played Maxfli Revolution, Dunlop Double Titanium, and Strata growing up. My senior year of high school (2003) I played a Nike ball and picked up 20 yards. The golf ball does need to be rolled back a bit. It’s overdue.
I’d love to see Bryson play a LIV event with this ball. Give him a few rounds he will figure it out.
Super interesting and fascinating video. I am a golf fan, but I haven't played in years. Still love the game when it's played at a high level. Its really engaging hearing you talk out your thought process for every action. Very engaging. Never boring. Cheers dude!!
Bryson if you were searching for content that people would love, you just fucking found it my friend. MORE!!!
Fascinating results.
Your dog is such a good dog.
There are no dogs allowed on our course. They would harass the kangaroos and koalas.
ROLL IT BACK!!!! Makes the Tour Tougher and keep the new/juiced balls for the public!
I love this! I never followed a golfer ever but after hanging with you and Maj in Saudi I became a fan so I love this channel now! Keep it going!
I wish that on the pro tours, you did use a different ball. At the level of skill people like Bryson have, using a golf ball that is more punishing and doesn't travel as far would be a great thing. Those "slight heel" hits that end up in the rough instead of in the fairway is exactly the point. Not being always able to carry that bunker that was strategically placed is a good thing. That's why the designer put it there. These are all things that amateurs deal with during a round of golf since just not as skilled as the pros are, so seeing them have to compete in the same way would be great.
But it’s so much fun to play a hole and not even have to think about that massive fairway bunker
I like the roll back. one thing I noticed is the less spin out of the rough. Instead of bombing it into the rough and flipping wedges that stop like a dart. This ball could make hitting the fairways more of a premium.
Great video, I can see it now in 4 years Bryson's gonna have his own custom set built specifically for the new balls.
after 34 years of NOT playing golf, last played when i was 18 years old, i found your channel and I am now so into it, about to go out and buy a new set, cant stop watching your channel, think you are absolutely brilliant, your channel doesn't just show you playing golf, but all aspects of your life, finding it fascinating , Dont get much chance to see the really golfers, thank you for what you do, a life time fan, best of luck at the masters , and all that you do, would love to watch you live, but dont really get the opportunity that often here in the UK and darn cant get tickets to the british open, but will be watching your on sky tv,
I’m a student of the history of the game and its equipment. Prior to it’s introduction in the US primarily by Harry Vardon in the early 1900s when the wound rubber liquid core ball had replaced gutta percha all courses in Europe were links style layouts on relatively flat terrain. The significant difference in early US courses was they had to be designed around a much greater variation in terrain where the art of shaping shots is what came to separate the pros from the recreational golfers.
I learned the game in the early 1980s with Jack Nickluas’ 1970s ‘Golf My Way’ as my guide and what resonated the most was his statement that he never saw a shot as straight with a very simple explanation of what makes a ball curve in the air like the banked wing of an airplane-tilting the spin axis by swiping across the back of the ball from the outside (slice spin) or the inside (hook spin) and that the goal underlying doing that wasn’t just navigating doglegs off the tee with driver but to predictably control where the ball hops and rolled on the green with approach shots and being able to avoid hazards by starting the ball at them but steering it away back to the center of the fairway.
That made a huge amount of sense to me so I practiced the techniques he suggested until I could shape shots both ways, not always with perfect success, but keeping the ball on the green much more often that I had been when I only saw every shot as dead straight and anything less as failure. The reason shaping shots was a rewarding strategy was because the course designers oriented greens to fairways and placed bunkers around the them in a way to reward golfers who had the skill to shape shots and penalize those who couldn’t.
The strategy is simple and analogous to landing a plane on a runway. Regardless of the shape of the green you look at the pin placement and the greatest distance from edge of green to pin then try to bring the ball in on that line. So if a the longest dimension edge to pin from runs left to right relative to the fairway / the ideal approach shape is a fade and if the green runs the opposite direction \ a draw will be more likely to keep the ball on the green and guide it closer to the hole.
Last week I got an eagle on a par 5 with a approach shot with about 20 yards of right to left draw. It was 125 front 135 pin to a back left pin on a green that was perpendicular to the fairway. I hit my second shot to left side of the fairway to set in up them aligned my stance like so far right of the green one of my playing partners commented ‘do you know you are aiming at that house over there?’ Had I been hitting the ball straight I would have used my 9i but the path I was planning for the ball was much longer and higher so I used my 5i, landed it exactly on the right edge of the green saw it kick left and roll towards the pin, hit it and drop in.
In was the most rewarding shot I’ve hit in probably the last ten years. Why? I defeated the hole the way it was designed to be challenged, not by plopping a 60° wedge shot hit 135 yards dead straight. Yeah, that’s another way to play the game but for me it’s not nearly as much fun or as challenging and at age 72 just can’t hit a lob wedge that far 😂
I came for the golf, and the golf was great, but that gorgeous dog deserves some recognition too. ❤❤❤
9 holes of chill Bryson vs. Random PGA event? Easy choice
Definitely need more of the vlog type rounds. These are by far my favorite to watch
Love that Krank driver, cant wait till you win the Masters in a few weeks!
lol he won’t win the masters
@@justinlee3075he did pretty damn good
Nice to see your dog with you. I play a local 9 hole, and they allow me to have my 15 pound Cairn Terrier with me, but tethered to my bag. His walk, my round, win win.
you should do a video where you play 9 with a kirkland sig ball
It's been a long time since I've seen such an entertaining golf video. Also learned a new expresson (I am german) "Oh my gosh". How nice. Thank you Bryson.
Why is no one talking about how casual he just putts with a wedge?!?!
It is insane
I’ve found it’s not that much harder than putting with an expensive putter. Go play a round with 3 clubs and don’t bring the putter. You’d be amazed at how well you do.
@@arjackson555 I think he's referring to how he casually chips it in to the hole from 1-2 feet when he could've just tapped it in.
I love seeing the perspective of a pro golfer testing the "roll back" on a course and showing the differences of the balls. So, thank you for that! I wonder if the new rolled back balls will have better spin rates and performance around the greens using newer covers and such. It would also be interesting if they made pros switch between normal balls and rolled back balls depending on the course length. Either way, I'll still watch👍
If the PGAT keeps playing courses which favour long hitters, they could play with Ping Pong balls and not change anything....
The LIV event in Hong Kong the other week was a great example of what is needed. Totally different course and totally different leaderboard. Just tested other parts of everyone's game...
Do both balls back to back every shot with numbers...loving all your videos
Blaming the golf balls for my lack of skill now, thank you Bryson!
Pretty much what he did in the video too lol--not lack of skill, but mistakes. My favourite was when he just shoved a three wood right and dead straight from the rough and said--'the curve is so weird with this ball'....
Jep, that was BS @@MrPoepope
Dude, 100%. Three holes in and I'm thinking it's time to research my ball choice
@@MrPoepopeno, that’s literally the ball lol. It may not have been as much as the ball but the older balls do not allow as much curvature and spin.
@@jordan3305 It's 100% not the ball when it's pushed straight right with a fairway wood from the rough. Any ball in the world is going exactly on that line. If you consider that the ball is flying 10% even 15% shorter, and reckon that curvature is usually a fraction of distance especially with a good player, there is no way the difference in curvature is the 25 yards between the middle of the right rough and the middle of the fairway. We're talking 5-10 yards max. If anything newer balls generally spin less than older ones off the driver fairway woods especially.
Say HELL to the NO to the rolled back golf ball, great content, keep up the good work.
You stated you "thinned it pretty poorly" and it carried 331! Wish I could just carry 250 on my best drive. LOL. Awesome vid.
There is something about his swing. Mechanically pure and repeatable. Could watch it all day.
Could you please make a more in depth video on your workout routine for lifting
I think a lot of us would be super intrigued to watch you do a head to head ball comparison round using the Quad for the numbers. That way you could ensure the same swing speed, & compare the difference in ball speed & distance when swinging the exact same speed using a currently confirming golf ball vs what a rollback ball is going to be. People may actually realize a lot of the pushback against rolling it back has quite a bit to do with course management, not just distance alone. A pro golfer needing to relearn what each individual club is capable of is a huge slap in the face to people like you that work your ass off your whole life to get as dialed in as you & other pro golfers are.
No rollback!!!!! Next they will want to go back to persimmon drivers... Bryson, your content is GREAT!!!!! Thanks for embracing RUclips and bringing us along. Good luck at the Masters. We will be cheering you on from Missouri and Alaska!!!!
ikr its a joke. they are ruining golf
i say ROLL THAT SHIT BACK
They are not ruining golf. Its become ridiculous where even a you tube golfers can reach every par 5 in a drive and a 7 iron. Golf pro like bryson driving 350 yard par 4.
Something has to be done to make it more difficult again. Putting tees back only does so much so introducing the rollback ball might make a difference.
@@paulimeson4689i agree completely but mostly because i don't want to see the great courses become irrelevant. yes, you can try to push the tees back but only to a point. and yes you can grow the rough and shrink the fairways and greens, but that isn't an improvement. in fact, altering some of these courses to accommodate ever-longer hitters is sorta an insult to the entire game and tradition of golf. pebble beach is now a course where a pga pro might shoot in the 50's. that's no bueno.
Good, they should never have changed from wooden drivers. It's like if baseball was played with huge metal clubs 3 times the size as they are now. Golf has turned into the bulper bowling of golf.
Kudos to Bryson for taking on sponsors that help people’s health: EightSleep, Athletic Greens. That’s making a positive impact.
I vote no roll back watching you guys hit the ball a long way makes golf more fun to watch. Go Crushers
I’d love to see Bryson trying different putter styles and get his opinion on them
When you've played in Colorado (or any place with high altitude) how far can you drive it? Also where can I find that hat?
just what every weekend golfer needs less distance off the tee !
You should play a round using this ball and your current ball side by side for a direct comparison in real time. Tee up with one and then immediately hit the other
I did some direct comparisons off the tee on hole 7 and hole 9 of this video, definitely check it out, the difference was insane!
The only downside to this is that Player B is always the better player :)
@@CallMeJackWagonhe is also a much better putter 🤬
Bryson , could LIV choose not to roll back the ball ?…….🤓
25:25 ……”sit” 🐶 Bear “is that me or the ball”…… one confused puppy 😂😂😂
Seeing the numbers of those older balls vs the ones now, and then looking at Tigers numbers back then only shows how much of a beast Tiger really was.
Seriously
So what kind of beast would Jack have been?
I think if theyre gonna roll back the ball, they should just make it spin more. Would reward shotmakers and people who can take spin off the ball and add it. Coincedentally a lot of those shotmakers are the shorter hitters that this ball will affect most. Otherwise every major winner moving forward is gonna look like Bryson just to compete.
Big B great content fun to watch. Keep up the great videos.
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.
@@PawPawGreg That nike golf ball probably just doesn't have the same type of cover as the modern premium golf balls. That seems like something that probably won't be an issue with the rolled back balls they will be making. They will likely maintain similar spin characteristics around the greens, but with less distance off the tee.
Ball is going to spin more. They're going to be able to figure it out. It's going to be harder to control the ball in the wind. I need all the spin I can get. I played my best golf with the Titleist tour balata. I'm obviously a lot older now, but we'll see how things go.
People magaged to do it in the past so I see no problem with rollihg back.
@@neilrobinson7965 Managed to do what? Play golf? Of course, but they were playing at a time that technology was moving forward and they were adding distance to the game over time. Now they are going backwards and trying to artificially remove distance from the game. It feels really gross to be honest. Why not just add more trouble at these really long distances to make the risk much higher for players that can hit it far enough to reach that trouble?
@@cobra7282 because it costs a shitload more money to redesign every golf course. Money that most courses don’t have. It might not be possible to modify many golf courses either. Just lower the specification of the balls so they don’t go as far. Problem solved.
Say HELL NO to the rolled back balls, great content, keep up the good work.
Someone help me understand what that means please? Wtf is a rolled back golf ball
Seeing how much a simple change from one premium ball to another affected Brysons game so much.. I'd love to see him play with a regular rented set of clubs.
He did post something like that about 2 months ago... (...where he played with a regular rental set). Link below:
ruclips.net/video/3xxsGOYwsXA/видео.htmlsi=lGShTpQISp0gCsTv
He's done that on a recent video
@@Stiffshaft_Golf oh I gotta check that out!
Watching the masters this past weekend, they said Bryson's math and ability to use calculations on greens is very unique and complex!!
I like the roll back. Emphasises your ability to hit it long. Shorter hitters will have to maximise their strengths of accuracy and iron play. The ball seems to be doing exactly what the game needs
It’s cool you’ve got your dog with you bro. I hope you win the masters this year.. I’m rooting for you from England 🏴
Bryson throwing that thing away at the very end summed it up perfectly lol
Making birdies, and Bear is licking his chops....Golfing Doggie!!
No roll back would be my vote as well, absolutely love the dog.
Ya just keep making courses longer . Great idea
bifurcate the courses not the equipment @@DocOoccc
I get a little emotional when I watch Bryson. Won't lie. A little long winded backstory. I'm 34 years old. I played golf first time when I was 14 years old after I got my first job it was something I wanted to get into with my father. My father a single father of 3 kids wasn't a lot of expendable money in the household to pay to play golf alot. We played about 10 times. My father always played slow pitch softball on his time off. His first time playing his first drive went over 300 and dead straight the excitement on his face was priceless. He shot an 82 first time playing, the man was an athlete at 5'7 he dunked in high school. He was 42 at the time. Well I didn't play again until about 2019. I got him back into it. Shortly after he had a massive heart attack, he's still alive but it started to get where his days were numbered playing. 2 years ago he had a rotator cuff surgery and tommy johns. Attempted to take him out last Father's day and it was his last time he said he's done can no longer play he can't lift his shoulder. Never saw the man shoot over 90 but that day. He shot a 98 and on 17 he drained a 40 footer. But last hole 405 par 4 hole number 1 because we had to start on hole 2. But I've hit every par 4 green but this one. Its 28 yards downhill so plays more like 370ish kept telling him in the cart I'm going to swing like Bryson and get this green had never pared a course needed an eagle to do so. Well wind was helping also it was 13 mph I swung out of my shoes I think we calculated the ball would been around 330 at the time I'd never hit a ball over 305. But the wind and downhill helped I drove the green. I was 8 feet out putted for eagle. First time I pared a course but I remember saying Bryson on my back swing. One of my fondest memories then seeing that this guy is genuinely a good guy. But that was the wildest time ever playing. The super saw me hit it and said he cant count on one hand the amount of times that green was drove. I had my father sign the ball. Only ball I ever kept. I lost my first hole in one ball first eagle but I just knew it's his last time and first time it was special
I love this channel! The break 50 series is insane! Golf is a great game keep it up bryson! Love the videos and love from Culver City!
Definitely back to the roll back. Makes the game more interesting!!. Great video Bryson.
Really enjoying your channel, its great chill out entertainment !
Really enjoy the running commentary. Like hearing what you're thinking. I don't think it really matters, you guys are going to break par no matter what ball you play or which clubs you use. I'll bet if you had a year to practice you could shoot under par with the same clubs and balls that Bobby Jones used. Great will shine through.
at 9:07 i was yelling, watch out for that rope!
Would have been interesting if you had hit a couple of shots with your regular ball for a direct comparison. 👍
…and you did 👍
What do you guys think of the USGA's plans to rollback the golf ball?
You are my favorite golfer. Love when u hit the driver. You motivate me to keep going and you help me with my anger issues. Much love Bryson.
Lame af. Shouldn’t be rolling back golf balls on anyone, let alone us weekend hackers.
Liv golf just says we use non rolled backed balls - No one watches PGA tour anymore
most of us like to see eagles on par 5's and drivable par 4's, rolling back the balls will make this more difficult....pars are boring!
🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
It was interesting to see you do a comparison with your Pro V ball on those two holes. When you do more of this type of video - Maybe play the 2 different balls the whole game ???
In my opinion this is a testament to how impressive Tigers career really was when you keep in mind what equipment he played with for a good portion of his career. Imagine him being 23 years old right now with these drivers and balls from today?
Tiger/Jack/Hogan/Jones - statement works for any of them. Much more so the last three listed. Tiger has had access to newest technology for most of his career.
@@michaeldelbo2900 I don't disagree... but I was simply referring to this particular era of technology from when this ball was out. Don't over think it.
This video should get 1M views by end of the week
I'd like to play a round with Bear, and Bryson.
Awesome content Bryson well done ! 👍💪
I understand why they're going for the rollback. It's a lot easier to change a disposable item than it is to lengthen every course.
They should just cap driver from 460 to 360
@@dso1986 EXACTLY!!!!! Changing driver requirements would be faster and easier. Like change the heads to wood.
@@EdKrisiakDefinitely not easier. It will be much easier for people to just buy a different type of ball than to have to buy a new driver.
@@IcePlays Only the tour players would need to switch drivers IMO.
They could just leave it alone. Most fans love seeing the long drives, it's exciting.
Great video. I'm against the rollback. I'm an ordinary golfer, I hit my driver 200 - 250 yrds. If someone as skilled as Bryson hates a rollback golf ball, what chance have we all got! Leave the ball alone and just let us all continue to enjoy the great sport of golf.
You might do better with a ball that spins more if you’re only hitting it 200-250: chances are you won’t be able to tell the difference.
Literally be a 2 yard difference for ya . You'll be fine 😂
To all the bought for/pampered pros pushing back on a rollback - see it only takes a few hours at most to recalibrate your minimal change in yardages
I think the argument could be made the opposite way then with your statement. If there’s minimal changes, why go through all of this anyways and why not just keep things where they’re at? The average score at most courses has remained relatively the same for a long time. Courses could also do very easy things to adapt the longer driving distance such as tighter fairways, longer rough, tougher pins, etc.
@@jseaberg1 oh no, you’re one of those …
Bryson is actually a genius. And it’s not to do with any math stuff. He’s made a video that is going a bit viral in the golf world, and he’s getting his fans AND his haters to watch because they are all salivating at the thought of the ball going shorter for some weird reason lol. But he is once again putting on a masterclass in creating engaging content. Please keep it coming
