SHOW OFF! - How Do You Mark Your Balls?


Recommended Posts

I go with a red dot and yellow dot to the right of the number on the ball (both sides). I also highlight the putting aid line with red to help with alignment.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

It is not how you mark your golf ball but how you mark your TITLEIST. Since no one else mentioned it i though I would say it. I mark mine exactly like my dad did 5 or 6 dots around the number in both sides. He preferred #1s I prefer 6 7 or 8. That is a story within itself but I will play any number as long as it is a Titleist.

Being as Dru is my nick name, and I am a huge Atlanta Falcons fan, I use a Red Sharpie, and draw a small greek letter Delta above the ball model label.

I turn the chevron on a callaway into a peace sign, and extend the alignment stamp on both sides just a bit. If its not a callaway, I circle the numbers. Blue, always.

One Yellow dot just below/left of the number. I really like a clean, unmarked ball, and find that the least obtrusive.

Wow, great thread....This one started before I'd found MGS and was just learning how to manuever on a computer...Not that I've come very far since then..lol...Anyway, I use a Sharpie fine pink paint pen(Breat Cancer)...On my Bridgestones, I put three dots(The Holy Trinity) pyrimid style opposite Tour B330-S & if I'm playin V1xs,it's opposite the Pro V1x...

 

 

 

Fairways & Greens 4ever......

No kidding I do the same thing with my red sharpie. Three dots in a triangle on the unstamped side of the ball.
