Best limited flight practice balls with strike spray?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to refine impact location in my backyard net. Done a lot of work to date with some good ol handy foot spray and my shag bag balls. Significant improvement with irons. But when tinkering with my driver setup/swing, a couple times I've skied one up and over the house and who knows where it landed! Too nervous to keep swinging driver.

Since I'm not looking for any speed/distance/spin data with my Mevo, just club face strike location, I'm looking for some limited flight balls to practice with at home so I can comfortably swing the big stick. Sounds like the SCI-Core, Callaway HX Soft Flight practice or the AlmostGolf balls are the best options. So now my questions for those that use limited flight practice balls at home:

1) Any other options I should consider?

2) Are they dense enough to show through foot spray on the face?

3) How long did they last? 

Thanks in advance!

1) Any other options I should consider? Limited flight balls are only going to fly about 10% shorter than a regular ball so skying one with driver it’s going to still go a couple hundred yards. Any of them will work for what you are doing.

2) Are they dense enough to show through foot spray on the face? Yes. They are still a regular golf ball.

3) How long did they last?  They will last around the same as any other golf ball

I use Almostgolfballs and they should work for what you want. They last much longer than regular foam ball.
