Technasonic Check Go Golf Ball Sweet Spot Finder Review

Okay, admittedly, I had caught the golf bug BIG time when I started 5 years ago.You can read my review first, then I'll try (without self-indulgence) to qualify myself a bit afterwards.After all, you'll only respect opinions from people you respect.And you really don't know me.

This product was really hyped a couple years back, with people like Tom Lehman and David Duval (give 'em a break) using it and even endorsing it.Sharper Image sells it, too.I had to get it.

I "line" all my balls anyways with the "Line 'Em Up" ball marking tool (plastic) sold at most major golf shops for about $6-7, and use a red Sharpie marker.Works great.I've pretty much ALWAYS lined my balls ON THE SEAM.I'll "seam" ProV1's when teeing them up (not really sure it makes a performance difference) and prefer putting on the seam, it's the ONLY continuously FLAT roll on a ball.Makes sense to me.Only the Callaway HX Tour's do NOT have a seam, virtually every other ball does.

First, I found that this Check-Go was kinda unstable.I mean, the balls can easily wobble on it.And it goes through batteries pretty quick.I find that it takes a while, like 90-120 seconds to get the ball spinning AT MAXIMUM speed.So, if you're planning on trueing a new box of ProV1's, figure 45 minutes plus.

Marking the balls WHILE spinning is kinda a disaster.You cannot draw CLEAR, DISTINCT lines without upsetting the 'balance' of the ball while spinning.So, I'd prefer to LIGHTLY mark the ball and use the "Line 'Em Up" tool to finish.A lot of work, I know.

Now, consistency is the issue.Will it ALWAYS go to the SAME EQUATOR when trueing the SAME BALL?My answer is almost every single time NO.So, IMHO, it isn't really 'trueing' the balance.It is FINDING AN equator, but there can be many.Maybe only one in about 25 balls (brand/model doesn't matter)will return to a near-to-exact equator when re-testing.I'm serious.

So, it doesn't work?Actually, it kinda does still.I found some of my (then new released) Maxfli M3 red dot's were VERY, VERY unbalanced.Some boxes had like 5 balls WAY unbalanced.Like, when they were spinning, you could DEFINITELY tell they were EGG shaped.And for $40/doz balls, that's a big no-no.I've never found such evident QC issues with other makes (like ProV1's, Nike Tour Accuracy TW's, Callaway HX Tours, etc).

So, for seeing if the ball is balanced, it works like a charm.To find a "sweet-spot" I'm not convinced.I STILL think putting on the seam is more conducive to "pure" roll than anything else I've ever found.And to my eye, it is less distracting than having a logo go through the middle of my line (on the ball) while at address.

I'm not saying it doesn't work.I have no way to prove that.But, I am saying it is incosistent, which to me personally means it doesn't do what it claims to do.I want it to find the same equator each time, then I'd be convinced- easily.

I never saw straighter drives or more yardage, or more distance control by using this.If I told you my full wedge goes 117 yards, I wasn't hitting 120 by lining up wedge approach shots.In fact, I am NO LONGER using it.I just use my Line 'Em Up to mark my balls again, on the seam.(used one for sale, cheap! maybe).

Me?I've played to a 7.5 handicap at its lowest, took my P.A.T. after playing for only 2.5 years and scored a 86-76 to miss by 5 strokes.Last tourney I played was at Spyglass Hill where I shot an 81 my first time on the course (from the Whites), including pars on the 7 toughest holes.I am always able to notice details in performance.A few weeks back I was at a local shop/range and was asked if I wanted to try a new Taylor Driver.I held it for about 4 seconds and said, "It looks like a shortened shaft."Sales person said, no it's standard length.I took out TWO others from the rack, sure enough, it was a half inch shorter.I worked as a Tech Rep for Rollerblade back in the day.My point?If anybody might notice a difference in performance, I'm that kinda guy.Maybe I'm not PGA tour (I'm not even close), but I recognize nuances.And since basically the first months I started playing, I've always averaged 31 putts per round or under.

I can't say this will help your game.If you're still interested, get it anyways.I spent $30 on it two years ago.At $22, what's the worst that can happen?You spend useless money to try to improve your golf game?Welcome to the world of golf, my friend.

If you still want my advice, get a putter that fits your motion the best.And that doesn't mean a Cameron or Bertinardi.I've always used mallets (I use the centerlined NOT center shafted Rossa Fontana that was recently discontinued).

If you found this helpful- or not- please vote.Cheers.
