- How does it read slope?
- It uses a small bubble level. You set it on the green or on a metal surface and the bubble shows which way the ground tilts. It gives a direction and rough degree of break, not a precise percentage.
- Does it work as a ball marker too?
- Yes. The unit is built to mark ball position as well as read slope, so you can mark your ball and check the break with one item.
- What does the magnet attach to?
- Metal surfaces only, such as a steel hat clip, cart frame or metal divot tool. It will not stick to plastic, fabric or a leather bag.
- Is it legal in competition?
- Slope-reading levels are generally not allowed under the Rules of Golf during a round. Check with your committee before using it in a tournament; it is fine for practice.
- Does it need batteries?
- No. It is a mechanical bubble level with no electronics, so there is nothing to charge or replace.
- How is it better than a phone level app?
- It is faster to pull out and needs no screen or battery. A phone app can show a more precise angle, so the trade-off is convenience against accuracy.
