Drawing A Line On A Golf Ball

One of the important details for good putting is getting the ball to start on your intended line. A line on a golf ball can be a great way to help with that, but you have to make sure you have a good line to use. Here is the way many tour pros do it.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This is drawing a line on a golf ball.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So it seems like a funny skill, but if you're going to use a line on the golf ball, especially

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
when you're putting, you can use it when you're teaf, but if you're going to use a line

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
on a golf ball, you should make sure you have a straight line.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
So they settle a lot of those little clips you can put on the golf ball for five, six

00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
bucks.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000
But you can always just go and get a PVC one and a quarter inch little end piece, just

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
like this, over at Home Depot or Lowe's.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It's perfect size, cost the 88 cents.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Then what you do is you'll put the golf ball in until it's kind of tough to get out.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
That's when you know you have it in far enough.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So it'll look just like that.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Take your Sharpie and just trace it right along the circumference.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Kind of like so.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And now give it a second to dry while you struggle to get it out.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
It gets easier.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
This is a brand new one.

00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
But now I have a crisp clean line that I can use on the golf ball.

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It'll help you with if you practice it, it'll help you with your starting line when you're

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
putting or on teaf shots.

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So really easy way for you to get a crystal clear line on your golf ball.
