On Point Ball Markers Detailed Review

Design and Technology

On Point golf ball markers were created to extend the visual presence of the golf ball. This extension aids golfers in lining up their putts before the golf ball is returned to the green. The 3-dimensional shape of the On Point marker has been molded to align with the printed or sharpie lines on each player’s golf ball.

We found that when properly used the On Point can actually help players increase their pace of play. See one of the issues we have in our game is the pace of play. More times than not players spend too much time on the putting green. The On Point Marker allows the player to engage with their desire putting line from the moment the marker is placed on the ground. Additionally, as a hidden bonus, under rule 20-1 the On Point allows for a coin like object to be placed in the event the player feels their mark could interfere with the play of others. So you don’t have to worry about messing up your golf mates putts.

What is really nice too is that players also have the ability to customize their On Point markers with custom logos and colors in order to suit any golf course, outing or event. The On Point is currently offered in both smooth and dimpled markers, and its just recently released triple track model to align with the Callaway ball.

Our Experience

Using the On Point ball marker is definitely different than using smaller, 2-dimensional coins or marks. Where the On Point 3-dimensional shape was really valuable was when attempting to read putts from the other side of the hole and when my playing partners were putting. Valuable time can be saved by having a better idea of what your putt is going to do even before setting your golf ball down. Orienting the line on top of the marker in the direction of the break is a simple way to get more out of your putting preparatory routine.

Golfers that use either the logo of their golf ball or a sharpie drawn line to help them start their golf ball along the break may enjoy the On Point markers even more. I found that using the top of the On Point marker to extend directly onto my sharpie line was a great way to increase my confidence, especially on lag putting. While each putt still demanded that I make a good stroke, I was able to visualize each shot more quickly and found myself more comfortable on the greens.

Specs

The On Point Golf ball markers are 3-dimensional in shape and have a diameter of 1 3/8-inches. Each marker comes with a color match magnetic coin underneath that can be substituted to reduce the size of the marker when it is impeding another player’s path. The size of the coin is 1 7/64-inches. On Point markers are available in cast zinc domes or dimpled patterns that match a white golf ball. Each marker comes with an alignment shape that helps in direction awareness. 

Conclusion

While the On Point ball markers may not make your putting stroke any better, they can benefit your ability to see the break of your putts and allow you to prepare for success. More confident putting means holing more putts and shooting lower scores. The 3-dimensional design of the On Point marker is gaining traction on Tour and it can be a valuable addition for players that struggle to see their putts before setting up to the golf ball.
