The Titleist Test: Worth its Weight in Gold
You can also call it the Callaway test, the Maxfli test or one of many golf ball brands. It doesn’t cost much because all you need is a golf ball and it doesn’t have to be a new one. If you are out looking for your diamond in the rough and the floors look a bit sloped, just grab a golf ball, put it at one end of the room and see if it rolls. If it picks up speed and makes it across the room, or several rooms, then I would be concerned. If it rolls a bit and comes to a halt all on its own, then I wouldn’t give it another thought. Many things, like foundation problems and settling can cause floors to slope. Some fixes are more expensive than others and it would be worth it to call in an expert if the house you’re looking at doesn’t pass the Titleist test.
