If you have more questions, make sure to read the FAQs to find all the answers about the best golf ball alignment for your game. How do you mark a golf ball for putting? Here are three reasons why you should have markings (of some sort) on your golf ball before teeing it up every single round. 1. Marking Your Ball For Identification Purposes Irreverent golf observations. A weblog not afraid to opine or offend about that ridiculous game called golf. I just found I could make a ball float with a saturated solution of table salt (hot water and a lot of salt should make the ball surface, and the lighter end will be above the surface, while the heavier end will be deepest), finding the sweet-spot very fast! I added a very small amount of detergent to brake the surface tension of the water (new balls have more trouble rolling with the brand new dimples; put a finger in the mouth of the detergent bottle and rinse it in the solution and that's it). Side note*** If you do go with this option, make sure the logo is small enough to where it’s not distracting for a player as well. 3. Marking Your Golf Balls for Better Putting Alignment

You are finding an equator in a way, but you should be lining that up down the target line. As bobbers pointed out, you are potentially finding a heavy side of the ball with the epsom salt method. You want that tumbling end over end down your line, not pulling on one side. The blue dot dot pointing up on the tee is the way to go (heavy side down). I try it every once in a while, I'm not sure putts are spinning enough to be affected. Tee shots maybe. Then, you square up the putter with the horizontal one and set the other one toward your intended path. This method is more common among amateurs than pros as it’s a lot of drawing on one ball but it is still effective. As you can tell there are all different types of golf ball stamps and marking tools. So what is the best golf ball marking tool? Ultimately, the one that is right for your game!These golf ball markings are more for identification than alignment but it’s nice to have golf ball stamps on every ball in your bag. Sadly, golf ball stamps do cost a bit more for the additional ball marking so buy in bulk to save! The T-Line I bought a spinner several weeks ago just to break the wintertime boredom. Its true that this thing will find the same axil each time regardless of how you place the ball in it. After using it on probably 100 different balls of many different brands what I found most interesting is, that on balls with a noticable seam the seam made no difference. One would think that the seam would either be heavier or lighter than the rest of the ball, however it is not. Out of all the balls tested I have only found one that was perfectly balanced and would have a differen axis each time I spun it. It was [u]a used[/u] Titleist. Snake-oil salesmen have long found golf to be fertile ground to hawk their wares. I can't think of another sport that has as many gadgets and gizmos that don't do squat. Thankfully, most are obviously junk upon first glance. However, there are some things that make you wonder if it's legit. Ideally, I think you should have some sort of personal tough (a dot, initials, stamp etc) and an alignment mark on your golf balls. This way, you can sport a logo or personalization and use the arrow/line to help you get putts on the right path. Or, you can also use the Technasonic to find your sweet spot of each golf ball and mark them accordingly. Now that you know how to mark your golf ball, let’s talk about how you can make it happen without having to try to draw a straight arrow yourself. Here are some of the best ways to effectively mark your golf balls. Softspikes BLM8006

Another common marking is the T-line which helps with alignment and squaring the putter face. With this marking, you have the straight one and then add a second horizontal mark at one end of the golf ball. Very interesting test you did and the results surprise me a bit. I can see how having the same side facing up would help if you were rolling dice at Vegas, but not as sure for the benefit you would gain in golf. From what I understand, the reason for marking the "equator" of a ball was to line up the equator to the direction you want to hit and it would minimize side spin. By marking the top of the ball, you've identified the "north pole" and by placing it on top during a drive you've aligned the equator along the "x-axis" rather than the "y-axis". With that setup, I'm not sure there is any real benefit since it might induce more sidespin? Your blue dot should be lined up pointing at you or pointing away from you. On a perfectly level table top I could see the benifit in putting for a balanced ball. However, on a Green I doubt it makes a bunch of difference... especially Greens played by us non-touring Pro's.Great post!! Like Dave Pelz, I am an engineer ( and I work for NASA in the space program) and the first question that can to mind when I was reading the first few paragraphs was "if respun, does it find the same line". Well, sure enough, you answered that question. Well done!! I have yet to try the line on the ball thing, but I have often thought about it. This is a great question as marks on your ball can really help you set up better to more putts and shoot lower scores. But as you can tell from above, there is no one way to do it. Plus, it’s embarrassing and can make for a long round. It makes things even worse if the other player doesn’t realize and they hit the wrong ball, thus getting penalized right along with you. Another main reason you should mark your ball is to help you line up correctly. As I mentioned in the intro, you could have the best stroke, read, and mental attitude but if you aren’t aligned properly, you probably won’t make many putts.

As you know, golf and business go together like Tiger Woods and major championships. Another reason to stamp your golf ball is to market yourself, your business, or a charity that you’re involved in. You can use these to promote your brand and market your services. Plus, if you’re using high-quality golf balls and give these out as part of your business, golfers will love the gift! It’s a lot more useful (and cool) than a pen, coffee mug or notepad. Yes, drawing an arrow/line on your golf ball is 100% legal and used by some of the best golfers in the world. Players across the world draw lines, add their initials, and other signature markings to their golf balls. How do you mark a golf ball with a Sharpie? I think if I see that little gizmo at Golfsmith or Golf Galaxy, I'll have a hard time leaving it on the shelf. Look I get it, hitting bombs on the range is a lot more fun that working on your putting stroke. But if you truly want to improve as a player and lower your handicap, you need to work on what will actually lower your score.There are tons of ways to mark a golf ball with a Sharpie. You can add your initials, dots (that’s what most pros do), alignment lines and more strategies mentioned in this post. Putting has a lot of different components though; it’s part technique, part green reading, part mental, and part alignment. While a lot of golfers work on their first three sections, it’s easy to skip out on the final part… alignment.

I too have used the device for around a year and it took some practice to get pen on ball correctly. I found that if you just hold the pen along the bottom edge of the cup vs the hole in the post you do better. It allows you to apply the pressure more evenly. I bought into the advertising as you did since I need every advantage I can get and felt if it shaved even one stroke off it was worth it. The problem is I do not know if it does or not so I have faith that it is working as it should. If it does anything it puts a nice ring around your ball which is a great identification marker when you have 2 Pro V1's sitting next to each other on the fairway. You know instantly which is yours. Remember, marking golf balls isn’t just about improving alignment. While it can have a positive impact on your putting, the right ball marking is also vitally important that you always hit the right golf ball (especially in tournaments).Remember, a ball marking usually don’t cure a major problem so always work on the fundamentals. How else can I improve my alignment?
