I did not find any other topics on this so here it goes...
I've been following @golf_ball_guts on instagram and he recently posted photos and video of him slicing a chrome soft truvis in half and discovering that the core was significantly off center.
I wanted to post my own findings after doing some of my own experiments for all the wrxers out there.
I took one of my own used white/orange truvis chrome soft balls, cut it in half and discovered that it, too, had a significantly off center core. See pic below.
This prompted me to do the epsom salt test on two other chrome soft balls I have (these were found on my local course and did not come from the same package) and found that they were not balanced, ie, the same spot on the golf ball kept rising to the top indicating one side of the ball is lighter than the other.
I tested a ProV1 I have in the epsom salt bath for comparison and found that it was very well balanced.
It's hard for me to imagine that the 3 balls I have and the ball that @golf_ball_guts cut are anomalies so I'm afraid Callaway may have a quality control issue going on here.
I also wonder if other models like Supersoft have this same issue.
