TESTERS ANNOUNCED! 2020 GolfBalls.com AlignXL


Recommended Posts

Hi All, This is my first post and MGS testing entry. I've been a avid reader of the reviews and forums.

1. San Francisco and No-HC (Total novice)
2. Just started putting and experimenting with alignment (tracking all my data)
3. Pro V1 Yellow and "METHODGOLF"

I think would be a good addition since I'm tracking all my putting practice on Blastmotion and currently A/B testing ball alignment.

To use a line or not to use a line? That is the question. It's not exactly Shakespeare, but when lining up a putt, it's a question I'll bet you've asked your self more than once.

Some golfers use tracing devices while others opt for the free-hand Sharpie method. Additionally, on pretty much every tour-level ball, the side stamp doubles as an alignment aid. Some companies (namely Callaway) have taken the conversation a step further with advancements such as Triple-Track Technology.

Given all of this as the context within the ball industry, Golfballs.com spawned the idea of Align XL.

Simply, it's a custom print option that places a straight line 180° around the ball.

The result seems rather basic, but drawing a straight line on a curved surface is a bit more complex than one might think. With that, Golfballs.com developed in-house technology to maintain certain levels of quality control and fast turn-around times on all custom orders.

Interested in doing the testing.  I do align most puts and mainly believe in it, also practice 6 foot puts (pre- pandemic) with left ,right and both hands to develop 6 in confidence.   In the past year have used the manufacturer markings that agree could be better.   

  1. Location and HC - Colorado and 4 HC 
  2. Current line method - get low to read green and set up ball in alignment.   
  3. Ball choice and personalization -   Srizon Z-star XV and initial JK 

Thank you for setting this up, would be fun , very curios if better alignment leads to fewer strokes.
