Vintage Practice Golf Ball, Align Pure Strike

About the Item

Align Pure Strike Practice Putting Golf Balls. A set of three 'Align Pure Strike' practice putting golf balls in excellent condition. The balls had the approval of Open Champion Bob Charles, regarded by most as the greatest putter in the world. He comments;- The Pure Strike balls enable me to appreciate the accuracy with which I am striking my putts. They also help to build up my concentration, not only in practice but just prior to a Tournament round. The balls were designed by Harold Swash, Align Golf Products Ltd., Liverpool, England, and will help the golfer who wants to perfect a pure strike every time they putt. The three balls, Safe, Sure and Super, will reveal the truth. Each putting practice golf ball has a raised dimple circumference, graduating in size, Safe 15mm, Sure 11mm and Super 8mm. If you can consistently roll the ball with the widest track, you are a safe putter. With the medium sized track ball, the same result would make you a sure putter. To be in the super class as a player who has mastered the supreme putting action you will have to consistently roll the ball with the narrowest track. To use the balls on the green use two tee pegs to secure its position. Providing that the blade of the putter is square, and a 'Pure Strike' ball is hit at the hole from approx. 2 - 3 feet on a straight putt by a right hander, if it veers to the right of the hole the ball has been struck with an in to out action. When it goes left of the hole the action is from out to in. The last few images are taken from the internet and show the instructional pamphlet that would have accompanied the balls.
