Do you think the PuttOUT Devil Ball would improve your putting? Drop a comment below. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Very interested to see my make/miss percentage after 3 months of practicing 3 days a week. I played 4 times last week in Vegas, and didn't see a difference in my putting stats whatsoever. It'll be a few more months before I can test this at a course I'm familiar with and with green speeds I'm used to.

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 I feel like I’m not a good putter for my handicap, and Arccos agrees. I miss far too many short putts. 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. For this test I pulled up my Shot Scope data to get some helpful information around my putting. Overall, putting is usually my strongest area of the game. I have solid pace control and make most everything from 4 feet and in, but the biggest area I struggle is making those mid-range, 10 to 20 foot putts. Of course, these are not going to be made at a super high rate, but as the stats below show it is a problem. Now on the anecdotal side it feels like I struggle to start the ball on line for these longer putts. On the short putts you obviously get a bit more tolerance before you miss so I think it just needs to be tightened up to give myself more of a chance to hole putts of this length.

PuttOUT Devil Ball: A devilish twist on a putter face-angle training aid. YOUR PUTTOUT DEVIL BALL REVIEWERThe PuttOUT Devil Ball has one purpose – helping you dial in your putter’s face angle at impact. Tough but fun to use. Excellent for adding difficulty to indoor practice. 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. Let’s put some numbers to it. At three feet, you can comfortably make a putt with a normal ball with a face angle anywhere from two degrees open to two degrees closed. You can even lip in a putt with a face that’s up to five degrees from square. The Devil Ball, however, requires a face angle of one degree open or closed to comfortably make a three-footer. If your face angle hits two degrees open or closed, you’re likely to lip the putt out. The Devil Ball makes putting twice as hard as normal.

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). Improve your start line and make more putts? Yes please! In my testing I’ll be looking for improved start line/more makes from my worst distances, mainly 6-9 ft. Although most of my testing will take place in my den on my birdie ball mat, you’ll also see some vids from the indoor studio @Street11 runs. And it just so happens I’m headed to Vegas in a week, so fingers crossed it’s warm enough to roll some outdoor putts there! Everything up to this point has been nice, but as they say the devil is in the details, which comes right here. For my baseline I focused more on mid-range putting, the area I struggle with the most. I can lag putts pretty well and from about 5 feet and in I make a great percentage of them. As noted in my introduction I was using about a 11.5-inch putt with a make rate of 39% to start. A little inflated to be sure since I can get used to the break and speed over time, even though I reset between each rep.Don’t forget, this device makes 3–5 footers twice as hard!Once you can roll in these short putts consistently with the Devil Ball, a real golf ball will be easy. This should translate to lower scores on the golf course… fast. My initial impression of the Putt Out Devil ball has remained consistent throughout testing. This is one training aid that will definitely bring you down to earth if you think you’re a decent putter. Prior to testing this, I considered my putting ability to be the weakest part of my game. I’m not going to lie, I definitely lost confidence after the first 150 putts (50 with each difficulty level) with the Devil Ball. Even though the majority of putts with the Devil Ball were all over the place, slowly but surely I started to regain confidence in my stroke. It all boils down to how determined you are to improve your putting. This training aid will definitely test your patience but if you persevere through the rough patches, I believe you’ll be better off in the long run. First things first! BIG SHOUTOUT to Putt Out for giving us the opportunity to test this product! I’ve been wanting to try this ever since they opened the tester slots! Of course, I cannot forget to thank the MGS team for giving me the opportunity to report my findings!
