I've had one for a while but I'm not sure how much I like it. I've marked lines on my balls since I first found the 'Line em up' little plastic line template. With the Check-Go I spin the ball and make a light line to use as a guide then I use the Line em up device to make my mark. What I've found is that it's hard to get the line centered on the equator with the Check-Go. If you mark just a fraction higher or lower than the equator you've got an off-center line to try to line up. However, there must be something to it because after marking a ball you can put it back in the Check-Go and it'll line right back up the same way (most of the time...some balls are probably not as far off balance).
IMO, there are worse ways to spend $25-30. If it helps a couple putts per round roll in it's worth it, and if it doesn't then you've got an expensive line maker.

I do exactly the same as you Chris and also find the the line is sometimes a little off. The thing I do is to put the "line em up" over it and look at the opposite side of the ball to the line em up, this along with what you can see through the slit shows if the line is to one side of the equator or not then you know where to draw the line - using the check-go line as a guide.

Does that make sense?

Anyway Dave Pelz reckons you should do this and give yourself everychance of making the putt...

Cheers

Yeah, that's where I got the idea from (David Pelz) and was wondering if this device made a difference.

Well it does what it says on the tin and that is find the c of g of the ball. So if you subscribe to DP's views (which I do) then I think this is a good bit of kit. When I hit a put and it rolls true with the line on it and it misses the hole I know it was a bad read/pace and nothing else.

I think that it's worth the few pounds/dollars it costs.

Well I sold these at the golf shop for 2 years. We messed with it over and over and I have never seen it work. I do not think it will make a differnce either way. Its like the Sabona's If you think they are going to help with the pain they do.

Yes, I was a doubter.

By accident I found a Maxfli noodle that was "balanced" The complete line around the ball was a dead give away... I hit it a good 15 maybe 20 yards longer. I had already owned the Check-Go but did not find it useful? Surprisingly when I used it on new Noodle balls it did make a difference! Balanced noodles are hotter than unbalanced Noodles ? I have tried it on other brands but without the same success. My guess is it adds about 5%, thus 10 yds per 200 yds reg drive. The longer the ball the more you see a difference. Roll does seem truer on putts as well. I have actually had straight putts stop with the line straight at the hole! Really freaks out the opposition!

I have one. I don't like it because it doesn't allow you to make a nice smooth line because of the high speed and the dimples. I have found that just putting a dot at the top (ie, side of the sweet spot) is a little less of an eyesore than a fat messed up line. Plus the dot usually makes a weird little astrological looking kind of mark.

    • I saw The Deuce as well. ... At least pictures of it.  Seems everyone is bringing out a mini-driver this year.  I actually had no intention of getting one, but the PXG salesperson tricked me. He said something to the effect of "Hey, you wanna try this mini-driver?" ... Sneaky bastard. 
    • Day 37: 1/16/2025 Really good practice today. Did a bunch of mirror work early in the AM; before anyone else in the house woke up. Basically working on this. Later, on lunch, I had time to swing by the range and work on it some more. Basically what I did was drag over one of the mirrors they have at the range; Do between 1 and 4 slow mo practice swings looking at the mirror focusing on improving the above. After the slow-mo swings I'd then hit a shot at regular speed. I rotated between the PW, 8 iron, 6 iron and 5 wood. Hitting one shot with each club, choosing the club at random. 👍😁👍
    • Good Luck!!  I saw today about Cobra getting in on it by “dropping a duece” 
    • I'd like to offer advice, but I'm not sure what you are asking. You made several statements, but none of them seem problematic.  Sounds like you like to keep your wrists loose when hitting a driver. You like to hit your 7 iron. Somebody said your swing is fast. Are you asking for help in clarifying what Hogan said?  I'm not trying to be jerk-like. I am not sure what you want advice on.
