  • @TheBlueGumby If its one of the "mid grade" balls you can put your line in any direction. I have tried this experiment. Using both techniques you will get results close enough for government work. Unless you are tour player or regularly play tourneys that uphold the one ball rule swap out on the green for a high end ball like a Pro-V or a 330 and use that ball solely for putting. I know lots of guys and gals that do this.

  • It seems to me both the float test and the spin marker are needed for the best results. The float test weeds out the bad balls and the spin marker puts a precise line on the good balls.

    I would like to see a ball marked with in the float test and then marked in the spin marker. Only 1 line should result. If only the float test is used; can't you start your line in any direction as one point doe's not define a line? I don't see how you would get the same line the spin method would produce.

  • OMG!!!!

  • @bigtorque a lot!

    keep pouring, you'll get there. I didnt find this method effective with normal salt, it seems the mixture is too viscous so lots of friction. The epsom salts probably create a smaller amount of friction.

  • I put alot of salt in water and couldnt get it to float. How much salt you need ?

  • well I never...

  • Ralph, you're the man!

  • been doing this, BUT, since the mark is on top, lightest part, where would one place the heavy spot to get the putting right??

    Im thinking placing the heavy spot in middle front, maybe on top for up hill, and for breaking putts, move the heavy spot left or right middle depending on the break... help Ralph

  • I've never had it explained so well - Ralph, you're a great communicator! I now balance and mark a putting line on all my golf balls before I use them (and you're right, it's a lot of fun)

  • nice
