Divide reminds me of the old Ping golf balls in the 80's. Very cool
I love the divide ones. I found em in golf galaxy and tried em because I kept losing balls since I just started but it is really cool to watch the colors and easier for me to follow off the tee or on wedge shots.
I draw a red line on my ball and add one additional mark to identify the ball as mine. Those I play with know this is my mark. Additionally, I use the line for putting practice to ensure that I am striking my putts squarely. During a round I will use my line as the starting line of my putt. The srixon dual colored hemisphere balls are really helpful when practicing chipping and pitching to SEE the backspin you're putting on your shot. Set up with the equator perpendicular to your chipping line for best results.
If you practice, you don't need any lines.
Putting lines on the ball slows the game. Use the line on the putter.
Srixon z star divide white and neon green. Put a red line along the divide.
I still use a sharpie to mark my ball, but every once in a while, the sharpie leaves marks on my club face, so I’ll gladly take a ball with a built-in robust alignment aid. When I used to draw a line, it was worse. Big fan of the stripe TP5X right now.
Lines mean nothing if you can't read greens, and they mean nothing if you practice. Kool Aid, anyone?
