Old news to most....new to me.   Along with my order of a real feel hitting strip, three "birdie balls" were included.  I had never tried these before, but kind of like them. You can really go at it, without fear of going too far, or causing any damage. I like them better than the "almost Golf" balls. Only downside might be the light weight, but they do seem to "fly" and feel good when hit  I.M.O.

I used it for a short time and then gifted it to my father. Both of us went back to alternate forms of practicing. It's just not nearly the same as hitting an actual ball.

I got into the storage shed I am cleaning out again. Found a new, unopened box of 12 Birdie Balls. I probably recieved them as a gift, or possibly raffle prize. Probably just put them a side, and forgot about them, maybe 10-15 years ago. 

I will see how they work later today after a visit to their website. Darndest looking things I ever saw.

They do fly a long way, so give yourself some space!

Thanks. Figured as much, and I do have lots of room. Plus my home course is only 5 miles away, which has great practice area.

Just received one of these as a gift when buying some golf balls on Amazon. Love the darn thing after trying it out yesterday. Just need to create some sort of tee now for it for driver shots.

I take one of those rubber tee things that go in the range mats, turn it upside down onto a broken wooden tee to hold it up straight.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
