  1. been doing this, BUT, since the mark is on top, lightest part, where would
    one place the heavy spot to get the putting right?? Im thinking placing the
    heavy spot in middle front, maybe on top for up hill, and for breaking
    putts, move the heavy spot left or right middle depending on the break…
    help Ralph

  2. i am selling a high tech solution to test it! It is clear but has a yellow
    tint, and due to the secret chemical formula it has a smell reminiscent of
    urine.

  3. I put alot of salt in water and couldnt get it to float. How much salt you
    need ?

  4. Great informative knowledge. But in cases that we are playing in a official
    tournament, the rule is that we can’t switch balls for putting. As in this
    case, after the ball was striked several times from the T-Off until it
    reaches the green, there must be a possibility that the golf ball’s balance
    may be altered. So pro golfers changes a new ball after every 3 holes.

  5. It seems to me both the float test and the spin marker are needed for the
    best results. The float test weeds out the bad balls and the spin marker
    puts a precise line on the good balls. I would like to see a ball marked
    with in the float test and then marked in the spin marker. Only 1 line
    should result. If only the float test is used; can’t you start your line in
    any direction as one point doe’s not define a line? I don’t see how you
    would get the same line the spin method would produce.

  6. @bigtorque a lot! keep pouring, you’ll get there. I didnt find this method
    effective with normal salt, it seems the mixture is too viscous so lots of
    friction. The epsom salts probably create a smaller amount of friction.

  7. 100% Salt water calibrated golf balls are now available for golfers in
    North America. No more salt water testing- buy the balls pre-balanced and
    weight aligned! Search reallinesports and visit our website to learn more.

  8. I’ve never had it explained so well – Ralph, you’re a great communicator! I
    now balance and mark a putting line on all my golf balls before I use them
    (and you’re right, it’s a lot of fun)

  9. @TheBlueGumby If its one of the “mid grade” balls you can put your line in
    any direction. I have tried this experiment. Using both techniques you will
    get results close enough for government work. Unless you are tour player or
    regularly play tourneys that uphold the one ball rule swap out on the green
    for a high end ball like a Pro-V or a 330 and use that ball solely for
    putting. I know lots of guys and gals that do this.

  10. balanced golf balls commercial products are sold. This product is being
    sold in South Korea, the Realspin golf balls Real spin is the world’s first
    commercial production of the product Search for more information Realspin.

  11. WOW! I have just read EXACTLY that from the Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible
    Book…Including the Balance-line machine… Thanks a lot Mr.
    Maltby…AWESOME video! So many people cannot be wrong about this
    subject… How do I get your kit if I choose not to use the Dave Pelz’s
    Epson Salt and Jet-Dry soap solution method?
