12 Pack Practice Golf Balls, Limited Flight Practice Ball | Foam Golf Balls, Plastic Golf Balls, Patented Realistic True Spin & Feel, Practice Full Swings in 40 Yards, Backyard Training

I recently purchased the BirdieBall Practice Golf Balls for my husband, an avid golfer who constantly seeks ways to improve his game. These practice balls have proven to be an excellent addition to his golf training arsenal, especially for practicing in our yard. These practice balls are designed to simulate the feel and flight of real golf balls while offering the convenience of limited flight. This makes them perfect for backyard practice sessions without the worry of them flying too far or causing damage. One of the standout features is their ability to mimic the spin and trajectory of real golf balls. This allows my husband to work on his full swing mechanics, ball striking, and accuracy, all from the comfort of our yard. It's a great way to refine his technique without going to the driving range whenever he wants to practice. Another notable advantage is their versatility. Whether he's practicing with irons, wedges, or drivers, these practice balls perform admirably across the board. They provide consistent flight patterns and are forgiving enough to help him focus on improving his skills rather than retrieving errant shots. I am very pleased with the BirdieBall Practice Golf Balls; more importantly, my husband is too. These are worth considering if you're looking for effective practice balls that offer a realistic feel and flight.

...BirdieBalls, that is. I admit to some doubt when I shelled out for these, but after just a few swings I'm a believer. They make a satisfying "tunk" when you hit them, a cool "whirring" sound as they fly through the air, and only go 40 to 50 yards even with a full swing. Plus they're easy to find if I flub one; you'd think they'd bounce around crazily when they land, but they don't. They tend to stay pretty close to where they hit the ground (as long as you don't bounce them off something like a rock or tree). And they truly do tell you if you're hitting straight, hooking or slicing; something plastic wiffle golf balls do not do very well. These things are ridiculously fun to hit; addictive, even. Perfect for practice with my hickory clubs, since I can't swing my hickories at the driving range (they can't take modern high compression balls). With Birdieballs I can swing away in my backyard and get actual, full swing practice; very helpful indeed. Highly recommended!

I have used the wiffle ball style fake golf balls, a few brands of foam golf balls, real golf balls and a catch net, and now these BirdieBalls. There is absolutely nothing on the market that I've come across that even compares to the BirdieBall. You can hit these with absolutely everything you have and they really only go 40-50 yards (wedges and irons) and give you a ton of feedback on your shot. Unlike a foam ball, wiffle ball, or real ball into a net, you actually see the result of your shot with these. Do you slice on the course? You're gonna slice with these too. The bright side is now you can correct your slice in the comfort of your own backyard. Also, unlike other training balls, you feel the impact with these, very much like a real golf ball. I have also found that BirdieBalls have something to offer that no driving range I've ever been to has been able to...I can finally practice sidehill, uphill, and downhill lies. Driving ranges are great, but they are always flat and conditions are pretty much perfect, whether you're hitting off a mat or grass. With these, I can hit from wherever I have 40-50 yards. I've been using them behind obstacles too. I don't find myself hitting off the fairway as much as I'd like, and now I can practice hitting up and over bushes and around trees. Once again, something you just can't do on a driving range. I am hopeful that it will help my real golf game, as most of us know how discomforting it can be to shoot a quality shot when all you're worried about is not hitting that tree, tall grass, bush, road, etc. I've used these off a mat, short cut grass, and grass that hasn't been mowed in weeks and every time I'm impressed. Finally a product that I can hit with a full swing and see true results of my swing, without leaving my yard. Added bonus, they make for a great game with friends. I can see cornhole and horseshoes taking a backseat to these BirdieBalls when it comes to playing games in the yard with friends. I understand they float, too. Haven't tested that for myself yet. Only downside to these that I've found so far is they won't do a thing for your chipping or putting game. If you're on the on the fence about getting these, just do it. It's the same cost as a couple of buckets at the range and you don't even have to leave your yard to use them. Great stress reliever too. And without the drive to a range or course.

Pros: better feedback than foam or whiffle balls. They make a popping noise when you strike true. You can definitely draw or fade these and they do seem to show a fairly accurate flight path. As far as distance goes I can get them around 45 yards with my 3 wood (which I generally carry around 220-225. On the flip side my 5 iron carry is around 175-180 off the deck and around 40 with one of these so a conversion to actual club distance from carry distance on the birdie ball is pointless to attempt to figure out unless you’re really into math 🤓. Just something to keep in mind. With ball carry in mind these do stop quickly once they hit the ground which I see as a plus as far as not losing them in my yard. I really like these to practice short game accuracy onto our putting green. I have two small boys and a big window near it so I don’t worry about a ball through the window working on close range control with them. One very important thing I notice when I practice with these is my contact isn’t thrown off when I hit actual golf balls. If I practice with whiffle balls it takes about a dozen actual balls to get it back. Cons: up front expensive but if you consider a bucket of balls is around $7-$10 over time plus fuel to drive to the range they pay for themselves with regular use. Durability I’m on the fence they warp after awhile but I haven’t noticed a huge difference in flight pattern. They also chip with use but my front yard is two acres of desert and hitting anything into rocks over time will chip it so I may not be the best to judge this. Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room do these feel like hitting a titleist pro v1…well as someone who’s played titleist since high school golf almost 25 years ago the answer is no. These don’t have a core that gives to your club face, they don’t weigh the same and they’re shaped different. If you’re a good enough player to shape your shots you wouldn’t or shouldn’t make the feels the same claim. It’s not a bad thing I just don’t believe in hyping products beyond what they are. Also keep in mind range balls don’t feel the same as mid-high performance balls either. Conclusion: fun training tool my sons and I have gotten a lot of quality use from this product. The important thing to keep in mind with any training tool is the most expensive one is the one you don’t use. If you have 50+ yards to play with I’d recommend these just keep your expectations real and remember no training tool works unless you know how to use it. I always tell new golfers or high handicapers to take any money they’re thinking about buying training products with and paying for a lesson it’s money better spent.

What a fantastic practice aid! There are tons of options for practice balls out there, and I've tried many of them. The birdie balls kick their butts easily! So many 'pros' to this product, and the 'cons' I can live with easily. You can shape shots as with a real ball... the birdie ball flight is just like a real ball. They will pull/hook/draw/go straight/fade/slice/push just like... you guessed it... real golf balls! There is a realistic feel to hitting them. That's huge for me. So many practice balls feel terrible off the club, but the birdie ball feels great when you pure it, and cr#p when you miss hit. They fly only 40-50 or so, no matter which club you use, so they are really good when space is limited. A side bonus to this is that I found errant shots less dangerous because they land so softly (relative to a golf ball!) On the negative side, they look funny. It takes some getting used to hitting a cylinder instead of a ball. When you flush a shot perfectly, there is a sound like hitting an empty oil drum... a pure "doyiiing!" kinda sound. Perhaps that would be a 'pro' for you. My final observation is one that some will deem a 'pro', while others will see it as a 'con'. You see, while the Birdie Ball is made to be the exact diameter of a real golf ball, it appears larger at address because you're looking down at a cylinder instead of a sphere. (if that's not clear, it will be the first time you try it). This can be a great confidence booster because it just feels so much easier to hit. Lower handicappers might not like this aspect as much, though. I got one in a gift bag at a tournament, and probably took about a year before I finally got around to trying it out lol. I use them all the time now, though. There's always at least one in my golf bag. I guess that's another 'pro'... I use one as a warm-up aid when I can't hit the range but still want to get a few full swings in before a round.. PS - I work in the golf industry and have a 9 handicap.

Roughly 500 or so swings with irons on the same 12pk and no structural issues. Great tool when making it to the range isn’t an option. From what I’ve observed, they seem to be very telling, very informative. Not to mention, a ton of fun!

First off, I am a low handicapper golfer so I have a good understanding of the golf swing so my review may not apply to a beginner or a high handicap golfer. I bought these because they advertise they do not go very far which is true. They go 40 yards with my 7-iron which I hit 150-160 yards normally. What they also advertise is they react much like a golf ball when they are hit. I can slice them, hook them, hit them low, and high. They really do respond much like a real ball. It’s a 30 minute drive to the nearest driving range and I do not have enough land to put in my own range so these have really allowed me to practice in the back yard. I do plan to get a net and tracker setup, but these rings work well. You cannot tee them up, so I just hit them with my 7-iron. I don’t how if a high handicapper or a beginner would benefit from them. when they are hit perfect they fly straight with a high pitch whirl. Kinda of neat. If you miss hit them just a little bit, they go nowhere which may turn off someone trying to learn. A lot of the fun of going to the range is trying to hit the ball far! These are not that kinda fun. For me they give me feed back on my swing. and allows me to hit 20 a day which keeps my swing in shape when not at the range.

Also had foam balls. Bought these and hit them constantly in the back yard. True feel and good response. Only cracked 1 after 30+ hits with a sriver

Great to practice swing path

These are fun to use. They let off a buzz or whistle and travel about 30 m when they are hit solidly. I am a true beginner and these have been great. The immediate feedback from a solid hit is appreciated.

Great Quality & Value. Excellent Training aid. Shipped fast.

Great for short chips under 40 yards (obviously not great when its windy).

Well, it's not a real golf ball and they are a bit expensive. Nevertheless, hitting them is more pleasant and realistic than wiffle balls. Has a more solid feel and flight seems to reflect the contact well. They do go some distance though, so watch out for your neighbours windows. I admire the ingenuity -- real thinking outside the box. I'd give a star just for that! I recommend them if you like to chip around your property. Well-made material-wise and they seem to be able to take a beating. You can use them for napkin rings if you are running short at a dinner party.
