You would think that the humble golf ball marker was beyond further design considerations and had already evolved to its optimum performance - not so! The latest idea to come out of the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio is the Ball Tool. Actually it’s not as daft as you might think and like the best ideas, it makes you wonder why no one thought of it before.
The inspiration for the new ball maker was borne out of frustration in watching Golfers spend so much time in aligning their ball with the cup. Described as the next generation in Ball Markers (makes it sound like the ball marker has been evolving for years) the marker is stamped with a series of alignments aids which allows the player to line up his putt even after he marks his ball.
So now if you combine this, for example, with the Titleist ProV1, using the A.I.M (Alignment Integrated Marking) side stamp on the ball to correspond with the alignment line on the marker - you can’t possibly miss!
The Ball Tool is USGA approved and patent pending, and with the usual Scotty Cameron attention to detail, has even been designed with slightly rounded corners as to not dig into a player’s leg when he stores it in his pants pocket.
Scotty Cameron hopes that once you’ve tried it you’ll never want to play golf without it again, but at $44 it does seem a bit expensive for a ball marker, particularly if you’re anything like me and you can’t stop losing them.

What happened to PRACTICE? For example…The putting stroke is about feel and control of direction and speed. You can make putters as “scientifically correct” as possible but effective putting comes down to the golfer controlling the distance and direction of their putts.
The best advice I can give a golfer is to get a PRO TOUR CARD. This is the most practicle and effective putting aid I have ever seen. You can put it in your pocket and use it at home, the office or on the nearest practice green. The PRO TOUR CARD improved my putting and other areas of my game by providing instant visual feedback about the key elements of my putting stroke and golf swing. You can visit their website and take a look at some of the drills. Oh yea, the best thing is that it only cost me $20. Take care and PRACTICE YOUR PUTTING! - Joe Bauer
