A self-inking stamp, engraved to your own design and shaped to leave a perfectly sharp mark on every ball. Built from a rescued golf ball handle and refillable bio-based ink, so the one you tee up is unmistakably yours.
DimpleMark began as a father's project: a way to prove that the balls we lose in the rough and the water don't have to end their story there. I pull them out, pair them with plant-based 3D printing, and turn them into precision marking tools built to last.
To keep the course as good for his generation as it was for mine, 10% of every sale goes straight to Schone Rivieren, pulling plastic out of Dutch rivers before it ever reaches the water.
Dad, founder, and still looking for his ball in the rough.
Every material choice serves the same idea: nothing here should have to be new to be exceptional.
Every core begins as a genuine golf ball, recovered from water hazards and rough. Its dimples, scuffs, and history make each handle one-of-a-kind: a 42.7mm grip that fits the palm the way only a real ball can.
The housing is 3D-printed from PLA, a biopolymer derived from corn and sugarcane starch, grown layer by layer instead of molded or machined. Additive printing means only the material the part actually needs ever gets used.
A vapor-locked, friction-fit cap keeps solvent ink fresh for seasons. When it runs low, a 3ml dropper refill brings it back in seconds. No replacement, ever.
No setup, no mess: just a crisp, permanent mark in the time it takes to tee up.
Remove the vapor-locked cap to expose the pre-inked flash foam face, ready on contact with no priming needed.
The rescued golf-ball handle sits naturally in your palm. Press down firmly onto any standard ball.
Solvent ink bonds to urethane and ionomer covers in under 15 seconds, smudge-proof through sand, water, and impact.
Most stamps fight the curve of a golf ball: ink pools, edges blur, the mark smears the moment it meets a dimple. Dimple¹ doesn't. The contact face is modeled and printed to the ball's own geometry, so pressure distributes evenly across every dimple instead of bridging over them.
Combined with a self-inking flash-foam core, one press is all it takes: no re-inking, no second attempt, no dabbing at a pad. The shape does the precision work; you just press.
Die geometry matched to standard dimple curvature
Self-inking flash foam, no external pad, ever
One press, one clean edge, no re-striking required
Held up against the alternatives, the gap isn't subtle.

There's no template, no preset library, no "pick one of these." Every die is custom-cut from scratch: initials, a crest, a wordmark, a doodle, an inside joke. If you can imagine it, it's fair game. Nothing about your Dimple¹ ships the same as anyone else's.
The three above are just a starting point, not the limit. Submit any design at checkout, however detailed, however weird, and I'll cut a die to match it exactly, then pair it with your rescued handle before it ships.
Dimple¹ ships in a slim sleeve pressed from recycled paper, no plastic window, no foam insert, nothing here that outlives the stamp itself. A single die-cut opening frames the ball inside, so the first thing you see is the handle it was made from.
And the first ball you ever mark with it? That one's on me. I tuck a lake ball I pulled out myself right into the sleeve alongside your stamp, so the first press is yours to make, not mine.
One rescued ball, one first impression, yours to make.
