fixyurdivot Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Who is bagging the second best divot repair tool? I used to carry those forked plastic ones many pro shops gave away (hardly see those or complimentary logo ball markers anymore) but they were prone to snapping if you used any twist action in your repair. I also had a metal one from a course in WA but it had a tendency to poke holes in my pocket and left dirt streaks on my shorts. As a thanks from a fellow spy who I sent my Razr-Fit driver too for shipping cost, I received this skookum, foldable divot/ball mark tool. This is really sturdy and does a fantastic job making repairs. For obvious reasons, it takes the #1 spot, but please share your runner-ups .

Kenny B Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have the same one... except it has a Circling Raven ball marker. Got it 2 years ago when we played there. I had an old, old metal one from my course that poked holes in my shorts (or stabbed me when I sat in a cart). Did you know that the more you use it, the sharper the forks get!?!!

pakman92 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Mine is a different brand, "Ahead." Looks similar and has the same switch blade mechanism. I agree, it's the best I've ever owned. I have extra magnetic markers as you see. If anyone wants one of the three on the right. US flag, Texas, or the crown, let me know. I can put on a stamp and mail it to you. fixyurdivot and cnosil 1 1 Quote Epic Max LS 11.5° (10.5°+1) w/ Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 6 stiff Epic Flash 3 Wood 17° (15°+2) w/ Project X Even Flow Green 60 stiff Super Hybrid 21° (20°+1) w/ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 80 stiff Rogue Hybrid 5 (24°) w/ Aldila Synergy 60 HYB Graphite stiff 2021 P790 Irons 5-AW (1° flat, weakened lofts) w/ Aerotech Steelfiber i95 cw regular CBX2 Wedges 54°, 58° w/ True Temper DG 115 Wedge flex Odyssey White Hot OG #1 Stroke Lab, 33 in Pro V1 Bushnell Launch Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I just use a divot tool I picked up at a local course; they gave them free attached to a card that explained how to fix divots.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have a few of those switch blade types. I don't use them anymore. If you accidently hit the button while it's in your pocket you can get an unwelcome surprise. They are also hard to keep the sand out of the locking mechanism. Then they open easier and easier to get surprised. I've used a Callaway tool for the past 5 years or so. Its slightly curved so it works good in your back pocket if you know what I mean. pakman92, fixyurdivot and MattF 3 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott33 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Mine is just an old Flix tool that was gifted to me. I swap out the marker with one of the too many that I have, but it currently has the Mackinaw Club one. fixyurdivot, Rickp and JFish350 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL85 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) These are the 3 that I have in my bag. I don't care for the marker that sits on the Ping tool because of the post on the back. The Disney Magnolia one is mostly just because I was there last month and needed something to use with the rental clubs. The tool on the right is definitely my favorite because I can clip it to my hat and not have to dig in my pocket all the time. I think it was given to me by a college friend's father when we played a few courses in the San Antonio area years ago.

Motoboss Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 These are the three I use most often. Mainly the PING as it has an attached ball marker. The spade, when it’s wet so my grips stay dry and the fork because it was my Fathers and a relic from the ‘60’s. fixyurdivot and Rickp 2 Quote “Adventure Before Dementia “ PING G425 4-UW/SW Black Dot +1” Alta CB RFlex / ChipR PING G410 Plus DRIVER 10.5* / 3W 14*/ 5W 17.5* / 3hyb. 19* / 9W 22* PING Putter Custom PLD 4J Prototype / 1968 Anser / Odyssey TriHot #3 VICE Pro Soft Lime Green / Bridgestone RX - TreoSoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middler Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I used to use the Titleist/SC tool on the left exclusively, but I now use the retractable Flix on the right. I never would have bought a retractable - it was a (cheapo) door prize at a tournament. I tried it, and liked it better as a divot tool to my surprise. Nice bonus to have a (magnetic) ball marker too, MUCH easier to find in my pocket than a loose ball marker or coin was (especially in winter when I have two gloves on) with tees mixed in.

Oh yes, the dual purpose cleat screw & divot tool... who on the forum is young enough NOT to have bagged one? So what's the purpose of the one with the serrated edge - groove cleaner?
