These, along with the Almost Golf P3 Almost Golf Practice Ball 36 Pack balls, are the best golf practice balls that I've found. They're made of soft rubber and won't break any windows or dent your car (I've hit mine numerous times). With dimples like a real golf ball, they take spin and give you a good idea about the kind of swing you've made. You need some room to hit these, though. With a 9-iron, I can hit these anywhere from, say, 40-65 yards. I have no idea how the distance with this ball compares to a real golf ball. Maybe half or a third the distance. I'll find out next time I visit the range. When I compare these with the Almost Golf P3 Almost Golf Practice Ball 36 Pack balls, which I also highly recommend, the key difference is feel. The Callaways are very soft, and with that much give in them, at impact you have a hard time really feeling the clubhead compress the ball. The sound tells you when you've made good contact, and then you watch ball flight. With the Almost Golf balls, they're a hard kind of rubber, and when I hit those, I can actually feel and see, in my mind's eye, the clubhead squared up against the ball, and I know where it's going from that instant. So the sensation is very much like hitting a real golf ball. Of course, the weight of a real golf ball makes a big difference when I go from hitting these practice balls and try out my swing on the range. I find that my swing starts to break down pretty quickly at the range, because I'm fighting the strange weight of the ball and still trying to hit it as far as I think I should be, based on distances I've hit the Almost Golf ball in my yard (and that should be a third the distance of a real golf ball). But that's another story. The Callaways are just great, and such a pleasure after hitting with solid white plastic practice balls, which begin to crack and dent after a few swings, even easy ones with a 9-iron.

3.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you have room to hit these, June 21, 2011

Should have read the reviews a bit closer! I bought these so I could hit some balls in the back yard, as well as have some balls the kids can play with that won't damage the windows. While these are certainly distance-limited, I wonder how far they actually fly in comparison to a real ball. Not knowing the distance, I hit my very first ball (with an eight-iron) over my house. I have a pretty large yard and I am now limited to hitting wedges, chipping, and letting the kids play with them.

Bottom line is that these seem like good practice balls, you just need to have an appropriate amount of space if you want to take full swings. I'd guess they fly 2/3 the distance of a real ball.

Love these practice balls. They look and feel like real balls. My son and I use them in our hallway and practice. Great for pitch shots and lob shots.

Will take them outside too.
