AJ - When I have discussed repairing ball marks with people who insert the repair tool into the depression and lift the center up as mentioned in the video, I am told that this method is the way they do it "up north" or "back home". I suspect they are playing on bentgrass greens, but can't verify that. My experience is primarily on hybrid bermuda in SoCal and here. And we all see the result of improper repair. I, too, repair as many marks as I can while out of view of others who are putting.
