On Point Golf Ball Marker Review

On Point golf is looking to take advantage of an overlooked area of golf equipment. The ball marker that you use to mark your golf ball on the green is often a coin or specialized piece that is unique to your playing career or experiences. What if there was a way to leverage this space to improve your putting? On Point believe they have the technology to do just that and the players on the PGA Tour are beginning to take notice. We put this 3-dimensional ball marker to the test to see if it can really help players aim their putts more effectively and reduce scores.

Key Features

• 3-dimensional shapes help players to more efficiently line their golf ball at the target.  
• Each On Point ball marker is crafted to resemble a golf ball or similar sphere and allows players to visualize putts even before their ball is placed on the green.  
• The On Point markers are easier to see from the opposite side of the hole making green reading much faster and more straight forward, specifically on longer putts.  

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.
