This (or something very similar) has been the subject (primary or secondary) of several threads in the past:

Personally, I'm going to save my money and take my chances that my Titleist golf ball is perfectly fine without my finding its center of gravity.

I understand that a perfectly balanced golf ball, if rolled end over end, will roll better than an unbalanced golf ball. However, this Check-Go device is just a gimicky little toy to me. Every time I spun and marked a ball's equator, the next time I spun it it ended up in a different spot. This tells me that the device simply is not that acurate.

I guess I'll just go on blaming missed putts on my stroke, since it doesn't really matter what ball you putt with if you don't read the green right, don't get the speed right, or make a good stroke...

Why do we play this game again?

Isn't there a review of this on the review site of the site? I agree though that it seems to be a gimmick...best way to make money, invent a something that you can claim will help with a golf swing or a baby toy.

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
