Bryson DeChambeau has been struggling to find his form lately, with a sixth-place finish at LIV Golf Riyadh and a disappointing 18th place at LIV Golf Adelaide. It’s clear that something is off, and DeChambeau has identified his golf ball as the culprit. Specifically, he’s having issues with the spin, which is causing his shots to rip off the greens. This is a far cry from his usual dominant performance, and it’s evident that DeChambeau is getting frustrated with his game.
Interestingly, DeChambeau had been using the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash, one of the best premium golf balls on the market, but revealed that he had made a change before this week’s LIV Golf Hong Kong. However, it seems that the new ball hasn’t quite solved the problem yet. “It’s spinning too much with my wedges,” DeChambeau explained. “If I try to hit a full shot, it will rip off the greens… clearly, you saw that on 15, and that was from a 95-yard shot downwind, ripped back 30ft.”
This frustrating experience has left DeChambeau searching for a new golf ball that can meet his specific needs. “I’m looking for a ball that launches a lot lower, has controlled spin on a full swing, and half spin still has spin,” he said. DeChambeau’s attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect equipment are well-known, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be able to find a golf ball that meets his lofty standards.
DeChambeau is adamant that he won’t be changing his swing to accommodate his current golf ball. “Certainly, I’m not changing my motion,” he emphasized. Instead, he’s on the hunt for a ball that can work in harmony with his unique swing. DeChambeau’s dedication to his craft is admirable, but fans are watching closely to see if he’ll be able to turn his game around.
Bryson DeChambeau says he isn’t happy with how his golf ball spins and is looking for something new after ripping one back 30 feet from a 95 yard wedge shot. With how much he pushes technology, it wouldn’t surprise me if he manufactured his own soon.

But fans are finding that hard to believe, as they are saying that the golfer is making excuses for his declining game.
Netizens tear apart Bryson DeChambeau in the comment section
It started strong with what one fan said, “A very amateur golf comment,” while the other said, ” So the millions titliest spends isn’t enough research?” Well, it is true that Titleist indeed spends a lot of time and resources on research, with talented golf ball and golf club product development teams continually pushing the boundaries of innovation. Within their R&D department, various teams work on diverse concepts, from aerodynamics and dimple patterns to materials research and new core, layer, and cover formulations. Additionally, teams focus on developing new paint and coating systems, while a construction team experiments with assembling different parts and pieces.
That’s why one fan commented, “Dude is totally lost”, while the other wrote, “Sounds to me like he needs wedges that produce less spin. Not a new ball.” Well, this fan may be right with their comment that Bryson DeChambeau’s current wedges might not be the best fit for his game. DeChambeau currently uses three custom-made Ping Glide 4.0 wedges, but some experts suggest that wedges designed to produce low spin could be a better option for him.
These types of wedges typically have a low bounce angle, which means the leading edge of the wedge sits closer to the ground at impact, resulting in less spin on the ball. Some popular options include the Titleist SM10 Vokey Wedge, Cleveland CBX 4 Zipcore Wedge, and TaylorMade Milled Grind 3 Wedge. When choosing a low-spin wedge, it’s essential to consider the playing conditions and your swing type to find the best fit. One fan commented what must be going on everyone’s mind as they wrote, “He could just learn to take the spin off. ” What do you think could be a potential solution for DeChambeau’s problem?
