These practice balls are the GOLD standard for practice. They are soft (but harder than) any other foam balls. They fly farther & more precisely than anything else “period”. They totally reflect the swing and contact that you delivered. Hit them with ANY club in your bag including DRIVER (goes 35-40 yards). They will deliver accurate flight results you can LEARN from just like a real ball. Don’t waste money on anything else. Also, best ball you can get to teach kids in the yard.
I love them.. can you tell?

I just bought some of these yesterday and I love them. I have 2 young children that are learning to play the game. When they play, I take them to the par 3 course. These balls allow me to play the course like a regulation course in that it turns many of the par 3s into par 4s and even a couple of par 5s. Rather than hitting 8i and pitching wedges on all the holes, I’m hitting all of my clubs. Today, my kids didn’t want to go golfing. Normally, I’d go to my normal course, but I found myself back at the par 3 course because playing with these balls are so much fun.

Peter,

No comparison really. Those light little foam balls you can find at chain sporting good stores are pretty useless, I find.

The Almost Golf balls have a nice, yet still a little squishy, feel to them, and actually have some realistic spin. If you hit a slice…the ball will slice!

Hope you can find them somewhere!

Hey. How do these balls compare to the regular practise foam balls that u can find in stores? Most golf places here in Canada don’t carry the “Almost Golf” balls.

Nice, thanks for the comments Gerald. I love the Almost Golf balls as well. They’re good fun. The only thing I’d say about the Birdie Balls is that they ‘feel’ a little more realistic when you actually hit them. The Almost Golf balls are pretty soft (which is great for some things), so you do not have quite the same feel at impact.

I didn’t see this blog entry. These balls I recommend to anyone. They are so good I even created my own urbangolf email for all my golf related discussions. I like this ball because it lets me dink around the yard or down the neighborhood when I can grab 15-30 minutes away from the kids. It’s a great way to just let out some steam. Great blog. Keep it up.
