PuttOUT Devil Ball Face Angle Trainer - Perfect Your Putting

Product Information

I will note that my test is not the best for this tool. It really seems to shine for helping to improve putting in the 8 foot and less range. I have been doing some smaller tests on this and have found that at 5 feet now I am able to make more like 90% of these, sometimes more. Of course this was already a strength of mine, but still a small improvement. For those who struggle with shorter putts, I think you would see bigger improvements in this area. 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 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? I feel like I’m not a good putter for my handicap, and Arccos agrees. I miss far too many short putts.At the PGA Show the PuttOut team member set me up for a four-foot putt using both the Devil Ball and the PuttOut Pressure Trainer. Somehow, I achieved the impossible on my first stroke and hit a perfect putt that ended up

That’s right, using this device makes putting from 3–5 feet twice as hard. Which is arguably the important putting distance on the course so if you can roll it well with this device, a normal ball is easy. 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.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). 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. 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.

PuttOut Pressure TrainerTo 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. It isn’t fun. Period. You think of all these crazy wild putts going all over the place and that’s the reality. It’s much more subtle. PuttOUT Devil Ball: A devilish twist on a putter face-angle training aid. YOUR PUTTOUT DEVIL BALL REVIEWER 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. 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.
