We Made Bryson Dechambeau's "Salty Balls" Go Viral!
Introduction
In a captivating conversation with golf sensation Bryson DeChambeau, we explored his unique method for testing golf balls, which has humorously been dubbed "salty balls." One of the standout moments from our discussion was when Bryson explained how he uses Epsom salt to float golf balls in a solution to check for balance irregularities. To our surprise, the video of our exchange exploded in popularity, garnering over 100 million views across various platforms.
Bryson admitted that he anticipated the method would gain attention, especially after the catchy name caused a stir. Although he initially hesitated to discuss it with such a cheeky title, he recognized its potential for virality, thanks in part to my framing of the topic. He reassured fans that the golf balls are cleaned after the testing process, so they aren't perpetually “salty.”
Our conversation also touched on Bryson’s pre-practice routine, particularly the use of headphones during his range sessions. Intrigued, I threw out a few guesses regarding what might be blasting through his gear. While my humorous suggestions included philosophically heavy podcasts and the latest Taylor Swift hit, Bryson's actual preference is far more eclectic.
Bryson revealed that he often listens to a genre known as Chillstep—an upbeat, euphoric style of music that inspires creativity and positivity. He mentioned how artists like Coldplay, Kings of Leon, and Ben Bower fill his playlist, providing motivation and a relaxed atmosphere.
For more intense speed training, Bryson opts for powerful funk music to keep his energy levels high. He also highlighted some lesser-known artists and genres that resonate with him during different training phases, ensuring a varied auditory experience that keeps him focused.
Curiosity peaked as I asked Bryson if he would ever share his playlists with fans. He noted that they depend on his mood, with different sounds serving different training needs. However, he reassured me that the heavy death metal scene wasn’t part of his soundtrack.
