PuttOUT Devil Ball Face Angle Trainer - Perfect Your Putting

Product Information

I feel like I’m this device’s target audience: someone who struggles inside 8 ft. My main goal for ‘23 is to improve my make % from 6-9 ft. There’s no doubt the devil ball will help me here. If you’re putting woes lie elsewhere this may not be the tool for you; it can’t help you with speed or your green reading. For me it’s a must-keep, but for you? This is also a training aid that can live in your golf bag, if you prefer to practice outdoors. Making a few putts with the Devil Ball should give you immense confidence when you step onto the first green. I performed this portion 3’ from the pressure trainer, and the PuttOut Gates (M & S) at 12” from the ball. All tests were done with fresh Pro V1x’s. I started with 20 putts with the Pro V1x and the medium gate, then 20 putts with the small gate, then 20 putts each with the devil ball through the medium and small gate. Then 20 putts again with the Pro V1x through the medium and small gate. Of the 6 categories above, a total of 100 maximum points is achievable.

I also think one thing that I was surprised with is that it also helped me with lining putts up. On the hard setting you are putting against a flat surface and so it is easy to see if your face is square, but this then it's easy to see that my body was not. This helped me focus on alignment with my body as well, which in turn helped me make a better stroke. 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. Next, it offers alignment practicing opportunities. With the simple and effective alignment design, you can train your eyes and, hopefully, improve your putting. Or, at the very least, increase your consistency by starting your putt on the intended target line.Intermediate: The second level is great for most golfers and a good way to start using the device. Roll the Devil Ball 45 degrees forward from the beginner position so the cross is pointed more toward the target. 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. From there I actually took the time to understand how the product can work, you know who reads the directions first. As many have mentioned there are three ways to set up the ball to make it easier or harder in practice (you know in case this some how gets super easy at some point). Aligning the cross toward you with the round side is easy, rolling the cross a bit toward the target with the flat side is medium, and he cross on top with just the flat side is the hard set up. The picture below lays it out probably more clearly than I can write it. The flatter the surface you hit on larger the reaction will be from the devil ball. Over the years I’ve tinkered quite extensively with my putting stroke. Moving the ball forward in my stance, standing more bent-over so my eyes are over the ball, etc. Given the snowy weather I will be working in the 3 to 6 foot range as suggested indoors in the coming months. My test for improvement is a 10 foot putt in my office and have been running 50 putt test lately to get my baseline. The goal will be to improve this indoor testing protocol before being able to get out and test this on the course, hopefully in March but probably April. There are three level as well to the Devil Ball that I look forward into testing more, but I will dive into that more after some testing and first impressions coming soon. I look forward to getting the test rolling (pun intended).

Despite its unique design, the Devil Ball is the same size of a golf ball and the same weight. This helps improve each practice session as the polymer inner core and elastomer shell mimic a real golf ball. Works For All Types of Players 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.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. PuttOUT Devil Ball: A devilish twist on a putter face-angle training aid. YOUR PUTTOUT DEVIL BALL REVIEWER It’s a new putting aid from PuttOut that requires you to make a nearly perfect stroke to get it rolling well. It’s nothing like their top-selling training aid, Putt Out, which we’ll also discuss as well. Devil Ball Golf Review

But if you’re able to roll it smoothly, you will develop a wildly consistent putting stroke. Paired with their main product, PuttOut Pressure Trainer, you can become very consistent on the greens. I performed this sequence several times and the results I have are the averages from all of the completed runs through the test. 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 TakeawaysI was able to get this set up in about 20 seconds, so set up time was not an issue. Straight away I need to give it a try even if the surface is not the best and the results were well, let’s just say to be expected. Deliver an open face and it will spin off to the right. Putts from 3-5ft are twice as hard with Devil Ball compared to a regular spherical golf ball.”

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.The PuttOut Pressure trainer is their best-selling aid that has made quite a splash in the golf world. The main focus is helping you develop great speed on the greens and requires a perfect stroke to end up in the It takes a lot of time to dedicate to. You need at least an hour to practice with this and sometimes that is tough to carve out. Hi everyone. My name is Tylor. I was told it was between Tyler and Zach and somehow ended up on Tyler with an "o".... I'm from beautiful BC, up north for most of you. 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 By any measure, my improvement was considerable. Will it translate to the golf course? Can’t wait to find out! Plus, you can use it with an indoor putting greenor outdoors on the practice green. It’s also very small and easy to keep in your bag to improve every putting practice session. Other Great Putting Training Aids
