@mygolfspy Just DON’T do it 😉 I get it - you find a decent ball and the woods and think “HELL YEAH” Fact is - you don’t know how long it’s been there, why it went left or right in the first place and if that’s even the right ball for you Coming from someone who used to play range balls… Coming from the crew who wants you to save your money… Just trust us on this Leave those balls alone 😂

[01]
A golf expert answers a question about playing with found golf balls, explaining that testing reveals significant distance loss due to scuffs. He demonstrates how to check a ball using a fingernail test and uses the memorable 'poop dollar' analogy to discourage picking them up.

The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back
Hook
A direct, off-camera question addressing a specific, common habit or debate within the niche that implies a 'thrifty' or 'smart' shortcut.
Payoff
A definitive, memorable command that overrides the initial 'thrifty' instinct with a new, performance-based logic.
[08]
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Empathetic Myth-Buster
Validating a common 'smart' behavior (like saving money) before dismantling it with hard data and a simple physical test to prove it's actually detrimental.
The Authority Anchor
The speaker immediately cites proprietary testing, data, or experience to establish that the upcoming answer is based on facts, not opinion.
The Empathy Bridge
The speaker validates the audience's current behavior, admitting they used to do it too or explaining why it makes logical sense (usually financial), to lower defenses.
The Knowledge Pivot
A transition phrase signaling that new information changes the context entirely (e.g., 'That was before I knew what I know now').
The Visual Evidence
A physical prop is introduced to show exactly what the 'problem' looks like, often highlighting how minor or invisible the flaw appears to the untrained eye.
The Shocking Quantification
The expert reveals the massive performance cost or risk associated with the minor flaw, using specific numbers to make the loss tangible.
The Tactile Heuristic
A simple, physical rule of thumb is provided (e.g., 'if you can feel it with your fingernail') so the viewer can immediately test items themselves.
The Metaphorical Verdict
The advice is sealed with a memorable, slightly humorous, or gross analogy that reframes the 'free' value as a liability.

What do you think about playing golf balls you find in the woods?
Hey, Adam. What do you think about playing golf balls you find in the woods? We're actually just I'm looking at the information right now about it. We tested it this year in the golf ball test and last year. From the listener out there, I know what this might sound like because golf balls are expensive, and that's basically a $5 bill laying in the good. So I get it. And coming from the person that played range balls growing up that didn't have any money, I would have played anything I found too. But that was before I knew what I know now. And what I know now is, grab me one of the yeah. Perfect. So rank you. This was actually one of the balls that we used in the test. This just has a minor scuff on it and you, what we found was we did light, moderate, and heavy scuffs on a golf ball. So basically that's something like a little tiny scratch to a cart path basically would be the difference. We saw huge differences in distance off the tee better fifteen and forty yards difference. And I know that sounds unbelievable, but if you would have been tier, you would have seen the same thing we did on the robot. That's exactly the result difference. So as much as you want to look at that as, wow, I just found a free ball, it is a free ball, but the performance difference that you're gonna see isn't worth it in my opinion. So rule of thumb is if you can feel the scuff on the outer core with your fingernail, that is going to definitively disrupt the aerodynamic pattern of a ball flight, not only off the driver, but off the iron and also on a wedge that has up to 10,000 RPM spin, it's gonna majorly impact that. So as much as you wanna pick up that free $5 bill, that's a poop dollar. Don't pick it up.
