Best ball mark repair tool


Recommended Posts

I'd like a scotty cameron one to go with the theme but i don't want some prongs poking into my thigh. a buddy gave me one of these with his company logo on it. cheap and easy to use. i've gotten some free ones from various tournaments i've been in.

Be careful with these. I had one open up a couple of times and cut the lining of my pockets.

What's wrong with a good, old fashioned tee???

 

They don't cost much, and they have done the job for many years....and, done it well, I might add

 

i'll use the tee a lot if i forget to put my pitchfix in my pocket.

Yes. More important to know how to fix a pitch mark than what you use to fix a pitch mark. I use a single prong "pitch pro" I think it's called that Poppy Hills give away on the first tee.

I use one of these. Going on season three now. It's lightweight plastic with nickel plating. The Ping logo thing is a magnetic ball marker and the round depression in the middle is for your thumb. Very ergonomic.

I've used mine for 2 seasons and counting. In most cases it's like there was never a ball mark after repairing.

This is what I have been using for 5+ years.. a solid piece of steel.. good weight.. sturdy and very effective. The plating has worn away on the fork but still going strong.

This is my favorite. A classic thin, two-prong tool. Minimal turf disruption on healthy turf, but has some surface area to pull damaged turf and relieve compression. But the most important thing, by far, is proper technique. I hate the Scotty tool because most of the people I've seen use it are lifting up and pulling the roots up. Don't do that.

 

Start from the rim at the back of the pitch mark and pull the compressed turf back. Work around the sides the same, then tap it down. Not hard to do it well if you just take a little time.

I own this. I hate the damn tool. I think it is awful. And it is too big to be comfortable in my pocket.

 

"Start from the rim at the back of the pitch mark and pull the compressed turf back. Work around the sides the same, then tap it down. Not hard to do it well if you just take a little time."

 

This actually sounds like the wrong way...

Easier description -

 

"Push the ball mark from the outside toward the center of the mark."

You all need to stop acting like you hit enough greens to justify buying one.

I bought a box of 100 of these for $20-something, shipped, a few years ago. Still have 80+ of them after losing a few and giving a few other ways. They look flimsy but it's an extremely stiff plastic and the small, round instead of flat prongs work great. Plus if I realize after the round it fell out of my pocket on the course I don't have to check back with the proshop later and see if someone turned it in!
