Questions & Answers
They aren't made of foam at all. They're made of a durable plastic.
They float, Georgie, and you'll float too if you come down here with me–
I haven't hit any with anything but a wedge or a 9-iron. They last about an hour and a half. 50 - 60 ft. When struck properly, however, you'll get a nice loft and feel.
They work well when the ball is hit straight.br>

I won't be practicing golf with these. These are what I'm using to plug my kayak's scuffer holes. For that purpose, they are fantastic. I've had them for a long time and they still look brand new.
These foam golf balls were purchased for my 7-year-old son, who is a huge golf fan. After purchasing a fantastic indoor putting green for him,.
Instead of ping pong balls, I created my own Battleship Beer Pong game! br>br>Let's start from the beginning. You may have seen a photo floating around of people cutting up foam blocks into ship shapes and cutting holes for solo cups; I thought this was a great idea and wanted to expand on it. To increase the difficulty, get a pool and fill it halfway with water. Then make your ships and have them float around in the pool. Regardless. br>br> Pong balls have the disadvantage of being fragile and light, which makes them unsuitable for outdoor use. The wind is likely to have a significant impact. Ping pong balls weigh 3 grams each. These weigh in at 7 grams each. It's just enough of a difference to make a difference in your throw while also providing some windproofing. They're also foam, so they won't be smashed by inebriated individuals. They float (which is necessary) and squeeze out water. It's also a beautiful color. They might be a little heavy for cups that aren't secured by a holder, but I've seen floating beer pong rafts, and I think these would be ideal for that as well. br>br>A look at our maiden voyage game can be found in the photos! It was absolutely fantastic.
Used to plug skupper holes in kayaks. I bought this to plug skupper holes in my Lifetime Tamarac Kayak, which is 10 feet long. I even installed little handles through them without the foam losing its integrity, which was a good quality foam. They've lasted a long time for me, so I'm sure they'd be good for golf practice as well.
These golf balls are tough and visible while addressing the ball and in flight. The ball should fly straight and true, but it will be shorter than a standard golf ball. It should not be a concern if these golf balls strike someone or something by accident. I missed the blanket I was hitting and took a ricochet between the eyes, which caused no pain, and I also laughed a lot, so that's a plus. br>My only criticism of this product is that the balls vary in firmness from one package to the next. Some of the balls in my package were soft enough to collapse with an outstretched thumb and forefinger, while others required a full-finger squeeze to collapse. While this isn't a concern for me, I believe it is important for potential buyers to be aware of it. I'm not hitting these for a scientific analysis of my swing; I just need something to hit while using my Zepp swing analyzer indoors. So, if this batch goes missing, I'll buy them again.
They also don't give much feedback; I've found that hitting them against a wall gives me the best feedback; I can tell if it's a good hit by where it hits the wall and how it returns to me. Due to my limited space, I tend to concentrate on my irons and wedges when using these.
I believe that these are better suited for children than for adults who swing at a faster pace. To be fair, I purchased these for my 8-year-old son, but I intended to use them myself. The issue is that the foam is extremely soft in comparison to other practice balls of this type, and they fly differently in the air, presumably due to being squashed off the club face when struck. They've worked well for my son and have lasted through about ten practice sessions, so I believe they'll suffice, but if you swing quickly, a harder foam ball might be preferable.
I picked up the cheapest yellow sponge type balls I could find and assumed they were all the same. Wrong. These are way too soft, and some in the same bag are softer than others, and they barely fly when struck solidly. Others I've bought at a well-known big box store in every city are much better, more consistent, and somewhat firm, and fly twice as far and curve according to the spin when hit solid. Save your money and spend the extra two dollars on the ones from your city's well-known big box store.
