i bought some, and use them occasionally when it's impossible to get to the range. they're good for tweaking your woods and iron swings because it gives you a great ball flight pattern and trajectory so you know if you're swinging incorrectly. but it's sort of pointless to chip/pitch with them because it will mess up your distances. as long as it's not windy outside, everything's cool.

I personally like birdie balls better, but maybe I'll try these almost golf balls.

can you hit the birdie balls with your woods? i've personally never hit a birdie ball, perhaps i'd enjoy them, but i just can't get over the fact that i'd be hitting a cube instead of a sphere.


I use Callaway HX-Practice Balls

I like my birdie balls. They really show my flight, plus I can't lose it no matter how hard I try.

Yeah they are quite workable... I would say the same, but when I hit a fade sometimes they carry over my fence into my neighbors yard.

Anyone use these? What are your thoughts?

I'm thinking about trying them but I had one thought.

When I'm hitting my irons well on the course it feels like butter but I still have mishits every now and again...I'm wondering if I use these foam balls will I be able to feel the mishits or not. I just wanted some feedback on them.

Thanks

I'm interested in buying some too - I share your concern, and I think the light balls won't provide the feedback of regular balls - but I suppose it's all in the ball flight to indicate mishits.

I bought some of these the other day a long with some plastic wiffle balls. The foam ones really fly when you hit it well. A 7 iron will easily go 70 yards. The are great for knowing when you hit it well. But mishits are hard to read. I actually like the whiffle balls better for seeing mishits in the ball flight. They also can tell you if you slice it or pull it better.

I bought some and they hit alot farther than I thought and I lost all 12 over the fence in about 10 minutes. So I bought a hitting net that has a ball catcher. If I am standing 15 ft from it it seems I see the ball flight with woods and higher irons. Good luck if all else fails just go on using the plastic holey balls.

I use the plastic ones that look like a wiffle ball. I use them in my room and practice pitching and chipping them onto my bed or in a bucket lol.. But my dad uses these and he likes them

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
    • I am a big fan of the Hack it Out podcast and love the Saturday Stats with Lou Stagner. Really interesting hearing about Lou’s Gears work with Erik and Golf Evolution. Really interested in the next podcast where they will discuss the learnings!
