Traditional Ball Mark Repair Tools

The Truth About Repaired Ball Marks

Most everyone agrees that the long tong traditional ball mark repair tools are, at best, difficult for players to use correctly. Industry leaders say players need training. But who at the course has time to train players over and over again? We need a tool, properly designed and simple to use. Kansas State University horticulturist Steve Keeley offered, "You insert the GreenFix Wizard blades at a 45-degree angle into the turf around the edge of the ball mark, and gently push in toward the center. It’s pretty simple. “More importantly," said Keeley, "the short tonged GreenFix tool is less likely to be used incorrectly. It's much too stubby to create the kind of damage an improperly used traditional tool can."

Incorrectly "repaired" ball marks that sit on your greens for weeks at a time are likely to be "re-fixed" when they are in a player's line, causing the healing cycle to start all over again. That's why your greens can look like a "moonscape" late in the season! The proven faster healing of the GreenFix Wizard prevents this from happening on your greens.
