NEW - Scotty Cameron Ball Tool

[GolfSpy_X]

What do you think...like this one better then the original??

[GolfSpy Dave]

Is the difference the holes? I would like to try one, but the $40 was too much to stomach.

[GolfSpy_X]

Yeah the difference is the window holes.

I suppose it's a little better, but for me it's still way overpriced. He is a marketing genius though, so the minute he releases these people (especially those who bought the first one) will gobble 'em all up. To each his own though.

I don't really see the need for either. I've seen the explanations of how it should be used, but I don't find it necessary. As for this version, I don't see how it's a marked improvement over the old one.

[GolfSpy_X]

I would have to agree Matt.

I may be an idiot but what is it used for?

While I have not used one, my understanding is that the tool helps you aim. You place the tool behind the ball to mark it. Remove the ball. Find the line of the putt, then see which line on the tool matches that line. You then replace the ball, lining up the line on the ball with the line on the tool.

 

The new holes are to increase aerodynamics

ahh ,thanks for the reply

[Miboy62]

Can they be used in a tournament ?

[Tyk]

That's a good question Miboy. One the one hand, I think it could, because you have to mark your ball, and I don't think there's any rules about what you can have on that mark, but there are rules about using aiming aids. For example, you couldn't use another marker to establish the line you wanted one either sided of your intended line.

 

FWIW I don't see this as an advantage anyhow, you are still relying on yourself to establish your line, and still have to hit the putt on that line with teh right speed.

 

And lastly: OMFG WTF $40.00?!!! You have got to be freaking kidding me?!

It takes a lot of money to mill that name and logo on there.

Not to worry.

 

A lot of markers are lost on the fairways while their former owners are busy with a phone, glove, club, ball, tee or something else.
