This ball is radio controlled with a remote that is about the size of a small cell phone. The ball has two small holes (smaller than the size of a dimple) on opposite sides that connect to a battery operated charger (2 AA). The remote uses a 9V battery. The ball has a small internal battery that apparently can be replaced if needed once it can longer hold a charge. The ball can be operated for a couple of minutes after a charge.

The ball is not meant to be hit, but probably can withstand a putter hit from a short distance. Because of a rolling weight and circuitry within the otherwise hollow ball, the ball does not roll straight on its own. The ball looks somewhat like a real ball but has a slightly off-white color and has an obvious seam.

When using the remote to control the ball, the ball revs up for 2-3 seconds by making a rattling sound, then it takes off still rattling away. An arrow on the ball is present to let you know the initial direction the ball will roll. You can reverse the ball's direction, but you can't make it go left or right.

The two biggest drawbacks of this gag ball are:
1. You can only direct the ball in two directions (front - back) with the remote.
2. A fairly loud rattling noise is made by the ball that probably can be heard from about 20 yards away.

As a gag ball, it seems like it is of only limited use. But for about $10, what more can I expect.

The ball does not look like a real ball close up, it is hard to control, and it makes noise when it is moving. As a novelty gift, it might work, but to fool your buddies on the course, unless they are deaf, they will know what is going on immediately...still fun to see their reaction to the idea that there is such a thing as a remote control golf ball.

The remote control golf ball rolls around, seemingly by itself. It looks just like a golf ball. The remote control is the size of a larger cell phone. It moves the ball with a two-direction toggle switch. With practice, you may be able to make the ball go exactly where you want. The ball makes a buzzing noise in a completely quiet room, but we haven't tried it outside - you might not notice the noise. It's good for a goof and we can't wait to try it on a putting green.

This product came as described and quickly, too. No issues (the way internet purchases should be!).

they dont even go where u want them to they suc and i dont recomend buying them

This is an item that will bring smiles to the faces of everyone except the person putting with it, as long as the control unit is in possession of someone else. It is also useful for true accurate training, but a little humor never hurts.
