As someone who does this regularly (hitting wiffle balls indoors), I say yes but YMMV. A lot. I mean, it is better than sitting on the couch for sure. I look at as a bit of exercise that I enjoy than other forms of exercise. Just don't get seduced by how how well you are hitting it at home or in the backyard or the 'whoosh' of your air swings and think you have made actual improvement. Use video to monitor what you are doing. Air swings are practically useless. +10 -

I've made quite a bit of progress on my swing by hitting the "almost" golf balls in my garage over the winter. I can and do hit regular balls too but it can be a bit loud so often I just hit the foam balls into my impact screen. I think plastic, foam, etc are better than no ball for sure. -

Is there a list of “takes that can just go away” somewhere on the site so I can avoid getting on your lawn going forward? And if bolding and capitalizing a word isn’t yelling, try sending an email with a topic you don’t agree on to your boss, or his/her boss with a key word bolded and capitalized and see how that plays. Have a good one buddy. -

Depends on the focus of your training. Feedback is a huge part of learning. If you do not know what you did wrong, then change is slow to non-existent. There is something to be said for repetitions, and bulk for reps. You want to be making reasonably good swings to ingrain decent habits. Let's say you want to turn more, then turning more is good practice. Doing a lot of that will help. Let's say you want to change your swing path from being across the line at A4 to flatter at A4. Then that still takes reps, but you will need feedback to know if you are even making the movement. Maybe you set up a rig that makes it so your club will bump into something if it crosses the line at A4. From rep to rep, you know what is good and bad. Notice, none of these meant hitting the ball. -

To be fair, one of his points was that the field in the U.S. Open has a lot of qualifiers. The PGA has a pretty strong field, as did the Memorial. He did himself no favors by calling out a single bold uppercased word as "yelling."
