GolfSpy STUDque 11,696 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Drawing a straight line on a curved surface can be harder than one might think, yet many golfers continue to employ the "Sharpie method" if for no other reason than it takes little effort and there's a clear absence of viable alternatives. With that, Golfballs.com spawned the idea of Align XL, a custom print option that places a straight line 180° around the ball. It's as simple as it appears and like all of its custom logos, Golfballs.com does everything in-house to maintain certain levels of quality control and fast turn-around times on all custom orders. This opportunity is open to any dedicated golfers residing in the US. We're seeking (6) dedicated individuals to test, review, and keep (1) dozen golf balls of your choice from anything on the Golfballs.com website. Which is the vast majority of everything on the market! To apply, reply to this thread with the following information: Name and Location Do you putt using a line? If so, how do you currently draw the line? Preferred Golf Ball Model Align XL Choice (color/size/text, etc). Head to Golfballs.com to see what options are available! Good luck to all that apply. Keep your eyes posted on this thread for the testers announcement next week. 4 In my Pisa riding on a 3.5+ .......tracked by G410 Plus: Tensei Orange King F7 3/4 FW: Tensei Blue King F7 3/4 Hy: Fujikura Pro i500 5-GW: Modus3 105 Equalizer 56/60: KBS Tour 90 Tour Classic Black w/ Link to post Share on other sites

daviddvm 2,587 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Currently in the Bridgestone White Box test group so I'll sit this one out. I currently play ProV1x with Align XL and I feel it has helped my putting quite a bit. I line it up on my intended line and then all I have to think about is pace while swinging down the line. Good luck to those that apply and I will be watching for your thoughts and results. #COBRACONNECT CHALLENGE 4 The ONLY One Length Contestant!
