William Gothard Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 For sirchuncksalot: I have both the pressure putt trainer and the devil ball. I have used both together. Honestly, the pressure putt trainer is hard enough to stop a regular ball in the target. I find the pressure putt trainer best for working on putt speed. The devil ball works exactly as advertised. I think it is best for working on a square putter face at contact and starting line. The devil ball is good for identifying contact squarely on the putter face sweetspot. That feature is a plus for me because I find adding anything to my putter face (like rubber bands) to accentuate off- center hits artificial and distracting. My only criticism of the devil ball is the requirement to carefully reset the ball before each putt. For me, it is tedious. However, I do like the ball marker/alignment aid. You can get the same start line feedback with an EyeLine Golf Myroll 2-color ball or similar. I can roll a regular ball all day with the pressure putt trainer without worrying about the orientation of the ball or stooping and bending to set the ball.

CoolBreezeGolf Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Love the optics! Swings, shots you hit, setup, putting...is all based on how you see the ball and the windows through which you hit the ball. A line you see from behind the ball is not exactly the same once you address the ball. Train the brain to help keep the game simple.

I will probably do some smaller sessions in between with the regular ball but the test is to see how I do on the larger sample. I also tracked left and right miss on the putts.
