I can see how utilizing this aspect of the Devil Ball is potentially beneficial. Each of us has alignment issues now and then. Some more often than others. The alignment features of the Devil Ball are easy to use and visually appealing. It makes alignment easy. Throughout the testing I have outlined my make rate with the Devil ball from 5 feet on hard, the setting that best worked for me given that shorter putts are a strong suit already. With steady practice I moved the needle from 20% make rate to 80% in my last session of 20 putts, and even had one of these. This is a level of improvement I was not expecting, and it was great to see to work pay off. With not too much time commitment. I rolled on average about 60 putts a week in about 30 minutes total. Something I think most people can find the time for if they are looking to improve their putting. Beginner: Newer golfers and high handicappers should start at this level to see how the device works. Instead of the flat edge facing the putter face, it will point toward the target. This will make it closer to rolling like a normal golf ball but still exaggerate push or pulled putts. First things first! BIG SHOUTOUT to Putt Out for giving us the opportunity to test this product! I’ve been wanting to try this ever since they opened the tester slots! Of course, I cannot forget to thank the MGS team for giving me the opportunity to report my findings! To close out the testing I re-did my baseline and saw the make rate improve to 45%, a 6% improvement. While not earth-shattering numbers to be sure, adding them up over a season will result in quite a few more made putts, and some improved strokes gained numbers.

One final note is that I have not been able to test my stroke outside given where I live and I will happily update this and give credit where it is due, if I see more dramatic improvement on a real green on in my Shot Scope strokes gained numbers. I just know we can keep you all waiting that long. Like most training aids, it is difficult to actually determine their effectiveness. Do they make you a better golfer or, in this case, a better putter? Everything up to this point has been nice, but as they say the devil is in the details, which comes right here. For my baseline I focused more on mid-range putting, the area I struggle with the most. I can lag putts pretty well and from about 5 feet and in I make a great percentage of them. As noted in my introduction I was using about a 11.5-inch putt with a make rate of 39% to start. A little inflated to be sure since I can get used to the break and speed over time, even though I reset between each rep.

In my first session with this I focused on shorter putts, something I am normally pretty good at, and let’s just say it was a humbling, frustrating, exasperating, infuriating (I am out of words without pulling out a thesaurus) experience. I had my first round of putting with the devil ball and out of fifty 3 to 5 foot putts I made about 15 of them. In my baseline testing of 200 11-to-12-foot putts my make rate was 39%. So needless to say, in amplifies any mistakes in that start line even on short putts. After the round of putting with the devil ball I found the start line felt much better and more consistent. I was not able to collect any stats as I was a bit rushed for time but that is the testing expectation for myself. Long term that 200-putt test will be the final testing protocol to see how the numbers below shift. When you unbox the PuttOUT Devil Ball, you’ll find two Devil Balls and the Devil Ball Marker. Using the Devil Ball is fairly intuitive: aim the line (or cross) toward the hole and putt. You can use the Devil Ball with or without the Devil Ball Marker. The Putt Out Devil ball is one of the simplest training aid out there. The two balls you receive are well put together and the alignment aid is a nice touch given how important lining up your ball is for working with the aid correctly. The Putt Out logo and alignment aids look great on the ball and while the ball is plastic it does not feel cheap of thrown together. As the materials note care was taken to make sure it weighs the same as a normal ball, so that really helps the feel and look of the ball. To hold both balls you are given a pouch which is made of a fine fabric with a drawstring that easily fits both balls and the alignment tool. The only reason I have deducted a few points in that I already have a could chips in the side of the ball after only these couple months of use. While this does not affect the usefulness of the tool, I would want something like this to hold up a bit better. If you deliver a closed putter face, Devil Ball will spin off erratically to the left of target. Deliver an open face and it will spin off to the right*

If I'm doing this pre-round, I transition to a traditional ball and start lagging putts. At home in the lab(on my birdie ball mat) I tested my make percentage before and after practicing with the Devil Ball from the following lengths: I first discovered the Devil Ball at the 2023 PGA Show which featured hundreds of training aids, gadgets, and other devices all claiming to help your game. Some were amazing, most were average, and some weren’t the most useful if I’m being honest. But the Devil Ball fell into the amazing category with its almost diabolical design. Key Takeaways This Devil Ball Golf Review will show how this putting aid is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. But despite the “devilish” design, it can do wonders for your performance on the greens.

I’ve been golfing since 2016, and arccos says I’m a .6 handicap. I feel more like an 2. And although I did break thru this season with half a dozen under par rounds, I’m still chasing that broke 70 badge. The first club I was professionally fit for was a putter, and since that day, I’ve been chasing gains in that part of my game. Up to 90% of a putt's start direction dictated by the face angle delivered. Improving this element of your putting stroke is fundamental to becoming a better putter. For this test I pulled up my Shot Scope data to get some helpful information around my putting. Overall, putting is usually my strongest area of the game. I have solid pace control and make most everything from 4 feet and in, but the biggest area I struggle is making those mid-range, 10 to 20 foot putts. Of course, these are not going to be made at a super high rate, but as the stats below show it is a problem. Now on the anecdotal side it feels like I struggle to start the ball on line for these longer putts. On the short putts you obviously get a bit more tolerance before you miss so I think it just needs to be tightened up to give myself more of a chance to hole putts of this length. Hi everyone.

For those in Canada, chances are it's warmer here than where you are but courses are closed here and indoor practice is what we have so a large shout out to PuttOut and MGS for an excuse to golf at home The PuttOut Pressure trainer is their best-selling aid that has made quite a splash in the golf world.
