Callaway HX Soft Flight - Foam Practice Golf Balls

Perfect for the area and show true ball flight

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.

I bought these Callaway orange foams golf balls, the Caiton yellow foam golf balls, and the Pride yellow foam gold balls from Amazon and then tested them all out. These Callaway balls are by far the best. They are the firmest of the 3 and have the most accurate flight and feel. They are perfect for my back yard. When I take a full swing with a 7 iron and hit them perfectly they fly about 50 yards. They also hold up better with some wind because they weigh more. The other two brands Caiton and Pride are also pretty good foam balls, but not as firm and they weigh less, so they the feel isn’t as good when you hit them. They work fine, but my preference is definitely for these Callways balls. The only downside is the fact they are significantly more expensive at $1.11 per ball ($19.99 for 18) vs. the $0.62 per ball ($7.45 for 12) for the Pride balls, but they are a little less expensive then the Caiton balls which cost $1.17 per ball ($13.99 for 12). If you just want the least expensive option, go with the Pride balls. If you want the best, get these Callaways.

Bought these with the thought they were real balls (they’re foam). My mistake. But they are quite nice and feel quality and fun to chip with indoors and in my backyard

We purchased these for practice balls for our granddaughter. They look just like regular Callaway golf balls but are safe for inside. They come in a small pouch with a drawstring that is easy to keep them together and store with her practice putter.

These are so fun. I bought two packs. I use these in a couple of places. I have a small 3’ x 3’ turf matte inside at work along with some strategically placed chopping nets and I can chip around without worrying about damaging anything. I can even full swing and not break a window! My employees hate it. I also hit these in the front yard from the neighbors house. I go across the street and hit these 50 yards back to my house. Ball flight is pretty good! They go farther than I thought.

The foam golf balls came in a nice bag and are working out great for hitting in my basement. Great value for the money.

These balls seem to be high quality and I'm sure they're great for practicing a full golf swing, but for chipping they just seem to bounce off of the club face way too quickly. A 1/8 golf swing, which is essentially a putting stroke, with a 60 degree wedge should not result in a 10-15 yard golf shot. For Chippo this might even be okay, but the balls are so soft that when they hit the hard Chippo board they bounce like a friggin' bouncy ball. If you don't hit it straight into the hole it's going to bounce off the board. I'd say that these balls are about three times softer than the "almostgolf" balls that come with the game.I understand that these balls are not advertised to work well with Chippo, and I'm sure they're great practice balls otherwise, but I bought them to be used with Chippo and unfortunately they're not made for that game whatsoever. I also do not think that they simulate a real ball very accurately if you want to practice chipping. I'd recommend a much harder ball for that.
