Do Golf Balls Have a Shelf Life?

Here is a quote from Bryson Dechambeau....it's all you need to now when it comes to testing balls :lol:
“I put them in Epsom salt combined with water, mixing it up,†revealed DeChambeau of a process he will be undertaking as normal before tomorrow’s opening foursomes session at the Open Championship venue in Lancashire. “It floats the golf ball in the middle of the water and I spin it. If it wobbles to where there’s a heavy point in the ball, that’s when I know that gravity isn’t in the middle of the ball so is out of balance. On average, I would say that I won’t play four balls out of a dozen.â€
