FAQ
Exactly What are Golfdotz?
Golfdotz are a new generation transfer that bond with the skin of the ball when firm pressure from your thumb is applied. In 5 seconds or less your design will transfer from the clear sheet to the ball and you are ready to play! Compared to a marker pen, or stencils and stamps, golfdotz look stunning on the ball. Vibrant non fading color, that will not wash off, will not mark your club face, and is super durable.
Designed and tested by golf enthusiasts tired of the same old methods, Golfdotz is a unique product for Tour players and casual golfers alike. Just please..don't call them stickers!
Will they affect the flight or roll of the ball?
Absolutely not. Golfdotz have been tested thoroughly and conform to the R&A and USGA rules of golf. Remember they are not a sticker that would sit on top of the ball. Golfdotz are transferable ink, and become one with the ball. (Very Zen)
How do I apply them?
To Apply, make sure ball is clean and dry. Cut out design and peel off backing sheet. The easiest way is to use our iD4 applicator tool (shown below) to really rub over design and get the small details. Or by hand, (traditional method) press design firmly onto ball for 3 to 5 seconds working into the dimples until it releases from sheet (Yes, it's that simple!). Smooth firmly over design again with top sheet if desired. *Use two hands to apply golfdotz. In colder weather the tool is the best option. Apply a few days in advance of play.
How durable are they?
Golfdotz are extremely durable if applied correctly as above and used in temps above 55 degrees. Of course, like anything applied to a ball, they may wear or cut. The whole point is that you will know your ball, others will not play your ball. If your skullmania is missing a leg in battle so be it. Many of our customers have reported being able to play multiple rounds with the same dot! Please check below for some non compatible ball variants that will affect longevity.
Cold weather. IMPORTANT!
Cold weather will affect performance. This is simply because our special ink will lose its elasticity. Cold and wet under 55 degrees? Save your dotz. In normal temps over 55 degrees (10 degree C) prepare to lose your ball before your golfdotz :) Hint- Always apply well in advance of play. Feel free to burnish hard over the top clear sheet to get a strong adhesion.
*If you are using golfdotz on your clubs no problem in any temperature. Have fun.
Do they work on every ball?
*REGULARLY UPDATED*
We are not a new product. After over 13 years and thousands of reviews we know Golfdotz work on 99% of all golf balls (if applied correctly as above and used in temps above 55 degrees) However with constantly changing coverings and compounds there are some balls that may prove to be incompatible or effect longevity. Always check the same dotz on another brand to be sure if you experience a problem.
Callaway Chrome Soft - Some batches may not allow proper adhesion.
Titleist True Feel - This ball is not compatible.
Callaway Matte and Titleist Velocity Matte - not compatible.
*Please note Golfdotz do work on Volvic and Bridgestone, Wilson Matte balls.
Hints- Always apply well in advance of play, the longer the better.
Use our specially designed applicator tool to really go over the top sheet if you prefer this to using your thumb. *Always use two hands, one to hold the ball the other to allow a firm application.
