The Pill Golf..

[Fish]

I've done some searching but can't see a thread on this and was wondering if any of you have purchased one or thought about it and what you think/thought about its concept?

I've read all about it and watched a few videos and it all kind of stacks up, but something is holding me back from pulling the trigger :mmm:

Any thoughts?

I've tried it, basically confirmed .... i am not a very consistent putter!

Would it do anything to groove a consistent roll if you ised it enough do you think, or would there always be a disconnect between hitting that thing and a ball? That's my concern, that while it might be good to get you rolling the Pill straight, when you step up to a golf ball it's not the same feeling and ur back to square one.

I've used this type of linked affair, similar concept.

I shudder to think what my balls would look like.

"Thank you for the video uploaded to SKLZ pro help. We genuinely have no idea how a human managed to get his balls that far apart. Regards, SKLZ".

Yes i think it would, its similar to putting a line all around the ball and working on getting it to roll consistently end over end. maybe this is just a little more visual.

I got a pill for my dad for Christmas, it's pretty good, anything but a clean square hit and it won't roll. I was toying with getting a three set for myself.

Cool, thanks for the answer!

Putting wise, would drawing a line round your ball and getting it rolling end over end not do the same thing?

I maybe read someone coloured half a ball in completely to achieve the same effect?

They have these 1/2 & 1/2 balls in the putting lab at my place.

Surprisingly, they are lined up (and more effective visually this way) so the axis is across the face of your putter, not down the line of the putt.

They do not use balls stuck together with string, pencils or lollipop sticks.

Have loads more interesting factoids available. ...

I bought the Yes! version which comes with three balls with different sized middle portions. Used them a lot of winter in the garage on a long roll of synthetic green turf carpet thingy. In no time I was onto the thinnest one and rolling it straight most of the time.

got them on Amazon

Dave Pelz promoted these (actually 2 lines) some time ago! And many of the ex-Cambo balls that i used to buy had a similar marking for practice. If you watch the top Pros that have lines, then it's surprising how well they roll end-over-end, whereas we hackers are very poor at it! It's one of the things that Pros really practice - as end-over-end is a key to good putting!

Why not just make your own?
Golf ball + Sander = job done
