Does anyone have a particularly good repair tool to recommend? After reading this thread, I think almost all of the repair tools I have seen and used would fall into the unacceptable category. I would like to do my part to keep the courses I play in top shape.

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to touch on this issue. I am ashamed to say that I have been repairing ballmarks incorrectly for some time. Thanks to everyone here for clarifying the exact way to repair marks.

Jeez, I feel like a doofus. I was taught the pry up method a long time ago, and always assumed that was correct. Now I know, and I'll put my Scotty tool in a drawer somewhere! :)

Less brown dead spots on the greens is beneficial for everyone, I mean you all had the right intentions in trying to get rid of the dents made on the green. Now with the proper technique there are no side-affects . It's unfortunate that I believe the vast majority of those fixing their ball marks incorrectly will never come across this forum or anything close to being as informative. So at least those that were previously fixing their ball marks incorrectly on this forum went out of their way to become more informed about golf and it's intricacies.

thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to getting out there and making a huge divot and then fixing it correctly. it'll be fun. I too was a brown spot maker. Sorry. I'll be spreading the love to everyone I know now.

Since TGW doesn't sell prison shanks I'd say the Greenfix Wizard Repair tool is the best option.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
