Product Frequently Asked Questions
We have received many of the same questions on the product, we have put them online for your reference. If the question is asked, we will post them.
1) My recharger/flashlight will only light the flashlight and not the fluorescent bulb?

The recharger is powered by 4 AA batteries and it is important that they are inserted into the recharger the proper way. If they are inserted incorrectly, the fluorescent will not light. The recharger has a diagram on the inside battery compartment that indicates the proper direction for the positive and negative ends of the batteries. Both batteries need to be inserted in the same direction for each side. Refer to the diagram on the recharger box for instructions.

2) The batteries do not slide into the recharger very easily?

The Recharger/Flashlight has two screws that hold the two sections of the light together At manufacture time the screws may be tightened a little too much. All you need is a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screws a half turn or so and the batteries should now slide into the recharger easier.

3) How Does the GlowBall Work?

Expose and rotate the ball underneath the ultraviolet flashlight light. The first time you do charge the ball it will take 1 to 2 minutes. Regularly renew the ball to its greatest glow by exposing it to the ultraviolet light at convenient times like between holes or when waiting to putt. Remember you can recharge the Glow Owl ball thousands of times and it will only take 10 seconds.

4) How far does it travel?

The GlowOwl golf ball is a top grade US made ball. It feels and performs like any other top grade ball. It is a two-piece 90 compression ball.

5) Why are different colored fairway markers used for night tournaments?

As the GlowOwl ball travels normal distances, it is ideal to know how far you are from the flag. The red markers are placed at 100 yards the clear at 150 yards and the blue at 200 yards from the flag. The green fairway lights indicate 200 yards from the tee on par 5's or the line for a blind tee shot.

6) What's the best way to put with the GlowOwl night lighting flagstick system?

Ideally when putting have a playing partner tend the flag. The flagstick has lights near its base that will illuminate the hole. To line up your putt shine your flashlight from low to the ground down the line of the putt. You will soon see any loose impediments, break and or pitch marks. Before putting switch your flashlight off so only the glowing ball and flagstick are illuminated.

7) Why Protect your night vision?

Your eyes will take roughly 5 minutes to adjust to the lack of light. You may be surprised how much you can see in the dark. To protect your night vision, never shine a flashlight toward your eyes. The moonlight or ultraviolet light normally provides enough light for you to see your club selection. When hitting the ball it is recommended that you keep the area around the ball dark so the contrast between the ball and the ground is greater making it easier to see the ball. Remember each time you damage your night vision it will take 5 minutes to recoup it again.

Don't be caught In the dark again, play the GlowOwl ball and finish your round.
