The Witch Way Golf Ball Marker is a unique tool designed to help golfers improve their putting accuracy and overall performance on the greens. This innovative marker offers a simple yet effective way to read greens and line up putts more accurately, ultimately leading to better scores and greater confidence on the course.
A prototype of the ball marker made headlines at the 2024 Valspar Championship when Kevin Streelman made 10 consecutive one-putts to shoot a 7-under 64. Afterward, Streelman said, “It’s not rocket science, but it makes sense. You try and get the lines down close to where you want to roll it, and then you use the line to try and match ’em up.”
The Witch Way Golf Ball Marker is a precise, rotating ball marker on a spike with a line on top to achieve the perfect aiming of the line on your ball. It also has a notch that shows marker movement using a blade of grass as a reference.
Witch Way inventor Rick Reimers explained, “If you want to aim something accurately, you need to be able to see what you are aiming and the target at the same time. One degree error at 10 feet is 2 inches. One degree of adjustment of your marker might be only one-half of one blade of grass!”
To use the Witch Way Golf Ball Marker, initially mark your ball by getting the line on the ball marker close to your putting line. Then, pick your ball up, stand behind it a few feet, and look at where the line is pointing relative to the hole, seeing the marker and the hole at the same time. Then, make the required precision adjustment. Lastly, match the ball line with the marker line. Use of this product during a round is permissible under rule 4.3a of the Rules of Golf.
Reimers continued, “Using Witch Way is far more accurate than conventional putting, where you can see the hole or your putter, but not both at once, and aiming with Witch Way can be done quickly, mostly before it is your turn to putt!”
Reimers is an experienced inventor, founder of Sun Mountain Sports, inventor of the golf bag with automatic legs, the three-wheel push cart, the golf bag with a handle in the top, and recipient of many other patents for golf products. After selling Sun Mountain Sports, Reimers retained the habit of designing every day, working on ways of speeding up play with the Finn Cycle and soon-to-be-released Hoote scooter.
The Witch Way Golf Ball Marker can shave strokes off your score and boost your putting confidence. It is USGA-compliant and available for $9.99 individually or $29.99 in a five-pack with a handy carry case.
