The best alignment golf balls you can buy today
Designed to help you line up your ball with greater ease, these are the best alignment aid golf balls you can buy today.
Everyone has their own way of lining up their ball on the green. Some people just eyeball it, while others draw lines on their ball to aim it at the target.
Over the last few years, brands have changed the game when it comes to lining up putts. Balls now have a variety of different visual aids printed on them to help you see the true roll and a clear line to the hole.
From TaylorMade's Pix graphics to Callaway's Triple Track lines, each brand has its own method of helping you.
We've tested out a whole host of different balls, and the ones listed below are, in our eyes, the best in the business.
Let's get into it.
TaylorMade TP5x Pix
Price: £47.99
TaylorMade's Pix golf balls have graphics printed all over them to help golfers see if their putts are rolling straight.
The graphics tumble end over end, giving golfers clear feedback on how well they have hit their putts.
The graphics are available in a whole range of different designs, but we think the original Pix is still our favourite.
The Pix balls have a serious tour pedigree, having been used on Tour by Tommy Fleetwood and Rickie Fowler.
Callaway Chrome Soft Triple Track 360
Price: £47.99
Callaway's Triple Track technology features three lines, one red through the centre and two blue on either side, to give golfers an enhanced sense of alignment.
The lines are designed to correspond with the alignment aid on your putter, giving you a consistent and clean target line on which to putt.
The triple track lines encompass the entirity of the ball, so they also give you instant feedback on the quality of your putt and the direction on which you have hit it.
Bridgestone Tour B XS Mindset
Price: £39.99
Bridgestone's Mindset golf balls were designed in collaboration with Jason Day. The Australian Golfer designed the new Mindset graphic to be used with three simple steps.
Step One: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET. The first step is information gathering. Where is my target, what is the distance, wind conditions and what club do I need to hit?
Step Two: VISUALISE THE SHOT PATH. This step is about connecting to the target and visualising the shot or putt you want to hit.
Step Three: FOCUS ON THE DOT. In this step, you stay connected to the target, clear your mind of analytical thoughts, focus on the green dot and execute the shot you visualised.
The Mindset graphic is designed to focus the mind for all shots, but we found it particularly useful on the greens, when you want to really remove all distractions and focus on making a clutch putt.
Titleist Pro V1x Alignment
Price: £51.99
Building on what's one of the most popular balls on Tour, Titliest has added a single red line to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x to help golfers line up their putts better on the green.
While the redline isn't quite as visually impressive as some other aids on this list, it's a simple and effective tool that allows you to keep your sharpie in your bag.
Srixon Q Star Tour Divide
Price: £29.99
Featuring a split 50/50 colour divide, the Srixon Q Star Tour Divide golf balls are perhaps the most eye catching option on this list.
The bright balls deliver instant feedback on chips and also putts, creating a strobe effect that allows you to see exactly how your ball is rolling or spinning.
The divide also serves as an ideal 360 line to help you line up putts to your target.
TaylorMade TP5 Stripe
Price: £49.99
VIEW DEAL
Building on the success of the TP5, TaylorMade has added 360 Clearpath alignment to the ball, which it claims has been the most requested product in the brand's history.
The alignment aid that spans the entirety of the ball allows you to not only line up your ball better but also gives you instant feedback on the quality of the roll.
