This Check-Go automatically realigns the golf ball's heaviest areas along its equator, so that a less than perfectly balanced golf ball no longer has a tendency to wobble, but rather roll more accurately on the green. Place a new golf ball in Check-Go and replace the safety cage. Press the button for several seconds while the Check-GO's high speed gyroscopic action realigns the ball's variance in mass along the equator. While spinning, use the special pen to permanently mark the ball's unique equator. When teeing off or on the green, simply line up the ball's equator with your target and swing as usual.
