I have recently got back into golf again and played a few 9 hole rounds with friends, but I was very rusty as it has been a while! The main problem, as most players find when they play infrequently was my swing. One minute I'd completely slice the ball and the next hit a reasonable shot. The tee shots were the most annoying because they setup how the hole is going to pan out for you and most of the time I was leaving myself a lot to do.
After playing a quite dissapointing round we had a look in the club shop to see what they had on offer. I noticed these airflow practice balls and they seemed like a fab training aid and something which should really help my swing. They are exactly the same size and dimension as a normal golf ball, but are of plastic construction and have airholes all over them, producing maximum drag from the moment they are struck. This therefore minimzes their flight, reduces the speed of the ball and the distance it travels. Effectively, this means you can practice where and when you like, it even says you can use them indoors, but don't think i'll be trying that somehow! They are perfect for use in the garden, the ball doesn't travel too far and the fact that they are plastic means that you won't break anything.
I think these airflow practice balls are great and every golfer should have a set in their bag. They allow you to practice you're full swing in places where space is limited, knowing that you aren't going to cause any damage. It is also easy to tell if you have made a good connection because the flight of the ball tells you. A good shot tends to rise before gradually falling to the floor, whereas a poor shot has more speed and comes down immediately, normally meaning you have hit over the ball.
As far as I know you can get them in four colours - white, orange, yellow and pink. They're cheap too - I paid about £4.00 for mine because I got them direct from the club shop, but if you go online you can get them between £1.00 and £2.00, what a bargain!
I definately recommend these to any golfers out there. Happy practising! Thanks for reading.
