  • Publication number: 20100124999
    Abstract: An asymmetrically shaped golf ball that can be used to practice putting is disclosed. By way of a brief summary, the asymmetrically shaped golf ball has a “long axis” and a “short axis”, such that when placed with its “long axis” in a horizontal position, it will roll without a wobble only if pushed in line with the short axis. If pushed by even a few degrees off “center” the ball takes a wobbly path and the error in the golfer's putting stroke becomes obvious.
