I bought one of these YEARS ago ($10 or $12), and I still use it. It does find the balance point of any ball. That makes it invaluable for putting and true flight driving. I'm convinced!!
I just came across your video. It does work. Golf Laboratories did a robot test and they found that the putts go straighter and the drives go an average of six yards longer if you align it with the center of gravity.
I've been using the Check & Go for over 20 years now. Every ball I play, either bought new or found used, I put them through the Check & Go device. I can tell a difference, especially on those three footers. If the ball is struck square as it goes to the hole you can see that line going around perfectly and it is a confidence builder to see that line not wobbling. I swear by this device.
Great video! Super helpful!! Would like to see more!
Been using this for many years, can’t remember what year but so long ago, love it works for me it show me if I hit correctly shows me the direction and proper stroke on the ball seems the balls I use made no difference love it use it.
Cool video...I'm looking forward to the follow up video to see if this gadget is worth purchasing.
I have taken a while to go through 3 dozen 2019 Srixon Z-Star XV balls. I measured every one using epsom salts dissolved in water. EVERY ONE was balanced. I was impressed! I am on the last dozen now and have a dozen of the current XVs on order. I assume they will be equally well balanced. We will see. It DOES matter if the ball is out of balance because any sidespin will cause the out of balance condition to cause the ball to go off line at least to some degree. Obviously that can be more costly on putts. Using epsom salts is more of a nusiance, but it will give you a better idea of how out of balance a ball is. First you balance it and put a dot on top after it stops spinning. Then put it back in the water with the dot on the side. If it turns quickly it is very out of balance. If it turns slowly, it is slightly out of balance. If it doesn't turn or stops in a different position with the dot not on top it is in balance.
I've been using it for 2 years now and yes it made a difference in my putting game
You should do a putting follow up !great idea to se if it changes after a round . Twenty-five give or take sounds like a good idea.
I have the Check Go Pro. I have been balance spinning mine for four or so years. I have found that Titleist Pro V are more balanced than any other manufacture! Maxfli Tour balls are balanced at the factory. I understand that for tournaments sanctioned a line all the way around is prohibited. Thanks for the review
That is interesting because callaway has come out with the triple track 360 ball that has lines all the way around them. Not sure how many people playing tournaments are using triple track, but it makes you wonder if those balls are illegal for use.
Great video! I had no idea.
Good work !
This is something that needs to be front and center everywhere about companies and their quality. I see below someone said they've tested many Titliest Pro V's and they seem pretty accurate most of the time. What other ball companies pay attention to this and do the little extra to get it right?
Maxfli Tour balls from Dicks Sporting Goods are center balanced & marked accordingly during the manufacturing process
I use mine to help identify my ball quicker. Pens run dry quickly. Sharpies don’t fit the hole. I use a bic marker from an art store.
Thanks for the reply, makes sense
Maybe someday my golf game will be good enough where something like that matters but right now the furthest thing from my mind is the balance point. I'm still just working on good contact... Is interesting machine though
Awesome!
Great vid.

Would the heaviest part of the ball not just be at the bottom ? Which would mean putts would turn left or right ?
I don't think so with this particular test. Because of the high speed spining the centrifugal force would cause the heavy part to be pushed toward the outside and thus in plane with the center of gravity. So by marking the ball on the plane then the heavier aspect would be rolling end over end and less likely to pull the ball to the side. I think. That is the way I understand it.
Not sure how much this matters on a putt, but I can see how it can make a difference on a drive where the ball is spinning at 2-3000 RPM's, an off-kilter balance can cause the ball to fade or draw more away from your target. Even more so as you move towards higher loft irons with must faster rates of spin.
Between making and missing the line
The best way to see if it works is to mark a ball then put it back with the line off a bit and see if it goes back to center. If not all you got is a thing that spins balls.
Somebody didn't watch the whole video.
Also check out my follow up video called, do these balls pass the test or flunk out. Retested balls after playing a few holes with them to see if they changed the center of gravity or returned to the same point.
I saw a more recent video that had a pendulum/robot putter…every ball that was marked with a check go went in the hole….! I just marked all my new balls…! Missed so many birdie putts last year by slivers so hoping this helps. Has to…!
I’ve been doing this for years with my ball I only put the one dot on the top when I tee it up, I make the dot face me, and when you go out to your tea shot in the fairway, the dot on the ball is facing me just like at address on the tee I believe it works
I would recommend placing a least a short line on the ball so you know for sure which plane the center is aligned with. If you are placing the dot on the ball with the machine through the top like designed, then the center of gravity would be halfway down the ball horizontal to that dot. Then when you place the ball to play that line would actually be vertical to the same direction your ball is traveling. With just the dot it would be difficult to know if your ball center of gravity is in a vertical or horizontal orientation. Just a thought.
Gabe is the best!!!
I HAD ONE OF THESE MANY Years ago. The pen always thru the ball off and i got lines all over the ball. You need a steady hand to mark it.
Thanks for the shout out. It's crazy what these balls do. I like this machine im planning to get one.
It absolutely works….I learned to balance balls the old school way….with salt water and jet dry
That will improve golf a ton.😂
Thing work! Thing actually work!
Get a dozen new balls and a robot swing machine. Try this gadget with 6 balls & hit them. Then take the other six balls and hit those. Check the dispersion of each group to see if it made a difference. I own a check-go and use it often anyways.
Ever since MGS discovered the eccentricity in Callaway balls, manufacturers and spending more time & money trying to ensure the quality of the balls. There might be less of a need for identifying ball centre than several years ago if one stays with quality bslls.
Don't think I have the budget to get a robot swing machine. Might be able to get a ramp similar to what Gabe did in the video referenced above and try it.
do an old school saltwater bath balance. ..
I bought this at the pga merchandise show in Florida years back. Used it 3x and never touched it again. Waste of money hahah
You have found the center of gravity if it went to a different place every time that would be a balanced ball
I think it definitely finds the center of gravity. I need to do another test and do the salt water test first and find the balanced balls and unbalanced and then do this with them. From my experience so far with it, all of the balls weather balanced or not from the salt water, return to the same center of gravity. I have not had one ball yet ever have different center of gravity when spinning with this and that is over a wide variety of brands and probably a 100 or so balls. Not sure why that it is, because with the salt water test it is definitely apparent quickly when a ball is balanced or not. This just gets the center of gravity regardless of balance accuracy.
Measure a few balls after you have it them a few times and see if the balance changes
Check out my follow up video called, do these balls pass the test or flunk out.
Test the balls in salt water to check if it matches
If you set the like slightly off kilter and putt the ball 20-30 feet it will roll the line perfectly at some point. So if you align the line very well, it will roll the line very well with a good stroke.
Interesting machine, but I still believe that the salt water method is the best because the results are always the same no matter how many times you float a ball. Simple physics and inexpensive.
I agree as far as finding balls that are balanced. But for unbalanced balls, this at least gives the best position to place the ball for rolling it. I don't get balls for free so I can't afford to toss out 3 or 4 balls just because they aren't balanced but this helps to find the COG on non balanced balls to make them more usable so it's worth it if you ask me. The best of both worlds is to do both I guess.
I had one of these years ago. I spun the ball and made a couple of dots. I then took the ball out. I put it back in and spun it again . Completely different location.
If you get a different location every time, then that means that the ball is truly balanced. It should roll true no matter how you line it up. I have been using this machine for years and I always do each ball twice. If it comes up to a different spot each time, then I know the ball is balanced and I don't need to mark it. If it comes up to the same spot each time, then I know I need to mark that ball.
Check out my follow up video called, do these balls pass the test or flunk out. I played some balls, even hit a couple of trees and then tested them again. Results were consistent.
Interesting but…. Never never put on sunglasses when making a video.
Sorry, have to wear the sunglasses when outside. My eyes are too sensitive for some reason, and the bright sunlight bothers me.
THIS IS NOT THE SWEET SPOT OF A BALL OR A SWEET SPOT CHECKER!!
The center of gravity of a sphere (ball) is in the center or middle of the sphere. It does not magically move to the outside perimeter of the ball. HOWEVER, if there are concentricity issues within the balls core/layers, this can have a negative affect on the way the ball Performs. This is why a ball you are spinning will come back to the same area or spot every time you put it in a checker or bath it in Epsom salt.
I don't blame Bryson or anyone that plays the game for a lot of money for checking each ball for inconsistencies.
That being said, when you spin a ball, either by a device or golf shot, the inconsistences of the ball (layers/core) mentioned in your video can cause the ball to move offline (think mud on the ball) It will change the spin axis (tilt) of a ball in the air. When this happens, the ball can move towards or away from the players intended line or target. Same holds true with a ball being putted. The more inconsistencies in the layering a ball has, the more issues it will have when struck.
If you go to My Golf Spy's first ball test they performed in Scottsdale several years ago. They had several balls hit with an Iron Byron (robot) and those balls performed poorly....to the tune of 20-30 yards off the target line. When they cut those balls open, they found they the core was not centered in the middle of the ball. This in turn caused the surrounding layers to have similar issues, and as a result you have a ball that is lopsided and will not perform optimally.
Personally, I will stick with the balls that are completely made here in the U.S. and are X-rayed or lasered for precision. If I miss a putt or hit a ball offline, I want to make sure its me and not the equipment.
Agree with everything you said. I don't think however that it is referring to a sweet spot on the outside perimeter of the ball but rather the center of gravity or balance point for any particular ball so that you can align your ball along that axis so as to not have as much chance of having the ball moving off the intended line due to the inconsistencies in the layers as you said. Although the center of gravity doesn't move to the outside perimeter it would move from the absolute center a few millimeters or more depending on how inconsistent the layers are. I have a hard time believing that very many balls are perfectly balanced and instead have a slight inconsistency of even a few millimeters. I know Callaway spent millions and millions to improve their quality control for this, so they are pretty good, but even then, I bet a lot are not perfect. That few millimeters may or may not be enough to cause a lopsided result, but using the centrifugal force of this is designed to try to find those inconsistencies so you can have that advantage when lining up your ball. I think putting it would help more than driving just because of the amount of side spin introduced when hitting drives that would send the ball off the line of center of balance quickly. But I think it is still better than having a "lopsided" or inconsistent ball positioned with the heavy side, regardless of how heavy, not in line with the path or travel.
Do it twice and see if the line is the same.
Have done it multiple times on the same ball. Never had it not go back to the same point. Also check out my follow up video called, do these balls pass the test or flunk out. Re tested some balls after playing to see if they changed.
I bought one. It sucks. All the comments about additional yards and straight outs are 💩
Might not be the machine. Just saying. 😊
False False False. Maths don't lie. No put is ever up at the speed of the balance point. Fact is it's gonna be off balance no matter what but the good news is It's gonna follow the grass anyway. Maybe if you were putting on glass it would be a problem. Grass on the other hand will overcome this little wobble with friction every time. But it's a cool machine and I like the line it draws so I might try it anyway.
Not sure what maths you are referring to. You don't have to have a putt spin at that rate to affect the center of gravity or balance point. You only have to have that rate of spin to find that point. Once that point is found it can be played on the line of the center of gravity. If you don't know the center of gravity point and putt with the ball off the center of gravity, it doesn't have to spin fast to have the heavy aspect of the ball affect the roll. Even within a few feet in a putt the heavy side of a ball could start to sway the ball to that side. This is just trying to help you avoid that happening by finding the center of gravity prior.
Great looking gadget but just not going to make a difference in my game.
That line looks off center
Probably just an illusion because of the writing on the ball. It actually is centered on the ball and divides it in half.
Driver swings are ~100mph, wedge hits generate 6k-11krpm ...your 'and gabes' science doesn't add up...
What science specifically doesn't add up? Not sure what you are referring to based on swing speed and wedge spin rates.
@gripitripitchipit aerodynamic and hydrodynamic design are similar but not identical there are differences. When an object is spinning above 100rpm its properties of movement through space differ...to grab a quick understanding of this science try to hit a knuckleball. Same ball, same thrower similar speed = completely different movement...
@@jamesfrancis7284 Not sure a knuckleball is a good analogy as the whole purpose of a knuckleball is to have no spin to allow the ball to catch the air and increase the movement. Also, not sure why you are referencing hydrodynamics unless you are hitting your ball into the water a lot? 😆 A perfectly balanced ball would not matter for these tests, but I would suspect there are very few perfectly balanced balls and the actual center of gravity could be a few 1000th of an inch off from dead center. That difference is what allows the check go pro to use the centrifugal force to find that center of gravity for those balls that are not perfect. If they are more than that few 1000th of an inch they may be a ball you would not want to play but you would probably have to do the saltwater test to determine that based on how quickly a ball returns to the same spot each time. For the playable balls however, getting the center of gravity and aligning the heavy aspect linear to the path of travel should help to decrease the likelihood of the slight misbalance of the ball from pulling it to one side or the other. That would be the case whether you are swing a driver 90 mph or 120mph. Also, would be the case whether you are hitting a wedge, a 7 iron, or a putter. So, I'm still not sure what you are trying to explain, sorry.
@gripitripitchipit you are right wow you are so smart!
Ahh. The sarcasm is wonderful, however it does little to support your viewpoint. I'm actually interested in trying to understand your logic but need more than generalizations about aerodynamics and hydrodynamics to understand your point. If you'd like to expand on specific examples for those of us who are not as smart as you so we can comprehend it would be appreciated.
Stop messing with your shirt sleeves
Sorry, the day I filmed this it was very hot and humid and my sleeves were feeling sticky to my arms so I was pulling them up to relieve that. I will try to do better for you next time.
far too long winded to watch for long
Do the Tour Players use it ??? NO THEY DON'T !!!! Just another piece of golf junk thrown at average players looking for a quick fix instead of working on their game properly with time and effort
How do you know they don't? Bryson tests every ball for balance in salt water before he will use it in a tournament. Some others may do similar or use this, but just not advertise it or make it common knowledge.
You are taking too long to explain this.
Sorry. I will work on that next time.
Snake oil works...ask any snake who sells it!!!
I used to hunt rattlesnakes to milk them for venom. Will that work?
@@gripitripitchipit is that what you call that stuff comes out ya snake after milking....interesting!!
@@timothyslaughter476 Ah, Haha. Yes, and I can assure you that venom is very potent. The bigger concern however is why it is rattling. 🤔
@@gripitripitchipit I know venom is potent and I have the exes to prove it!!!
