We  were  fortunate  to  be  able  to try a wonderful  new putting practice aid called Checker Balls. Basically  it is a 3 ball set of slightly  wider than average golf balls. It is like  taking  a  normal golf  ball  and stretching it  slightly out  from  the center. The 3 ball  set  includes a  novice, an  advanced, and a pro size. The novice being almost round and  the pro being a lot more stretched out. Each one has a different colored line around the center to help you line up the direction of the putt. The concept is that the

elongated  ball  will roll  correctly only when struck perfectly. Any side spin will be amplified dramatically. The  wider or  more advanced  the Checker Ball the greater the effect will be. It works with any putter and any putting  style. Start  with  the novice ball, when you get good at that one you can move up to the advanced and then to the pro. You must remember that like any other good  practice aid it must be used pretty regularly to be effective.
