Does anyone routinely practice with soft short-range balls in the backyard or anything? I bought a few yellow foam balls from Walmart and they seem pretty good. Have practiced only irons with them but they seem clearly show what is going on with the ball spin wise. Especially slicing, etc. Seems like it would be a decent tool to narrow down my swing mechanics. I can clearly tell if I hit it too high, or too low, or just slice badly based on the ball flight.
I was looking into such practice tools and ran across birdieballs, however there is very little talk about them on here. Would that be a significantly better thing for backyard practice?
I also cant wait to try them out with the driver, because that is where I am really inconsistent.
