Product Description
Introducing Birdie Ball, the limited flight practice golf ball that you can hit anywhere. It’s the best golf training aid invented this century. What’s so unique? It looks like a “napkin ring” yet flies exactly like a golf ball. It has a limited distance of about 40 yards. Hit the Birdieball back and forth. It spins exactly like a golf ball, it is heavy, it draws, it fades, it is practice, and it is fun. Birdieballs are made of a super polymer and will not break…. More >>
Great product that gives you the feel and feedback of real golf ballls with distance that can be used in any yard. I love hitting them. You can do anything you can with real balls. I believe they are great for anyone with limited amount of room.

I first used Birdie Balls while on vacation in Hilton Head. They were a blast. Get a partner, stand about 50 yards apart then hammer the birdie balls back and forth with your wedges, 9 irons, or even 8 irons. The whirrr sound they make tells you when you strike them well. Excellent for working on your short game timing.

I really like this product. The first time I used Birdie Balls was at a golf course in South Carolina. The course had a small area set up by the first tee, to give golfers an opportunity to warm up while actually striking something. The starter explained that they performed like a golf ball, but required much less room. He was right. If your swing was prone to a slice or hook, these birdie balls would behave appropriately.
After returning from my trip, I bought a dozen for my son and me to use in the yard. My yard is 50 yards wide, and working with mid irons, they never clear the fence. A well-hit five-iron will send a birdie ball about 35 to 45 yards (on the far end of this range for my son – his drives on the golf course are usually in the 290 to 310 yard range). The company’s web site claims that the distance record is something like 70 yards, but that hasn’t happened in my yard.
They perform much better than any foam balls or wiffle balls we’ve ever hit. They’re so much more safe than hitting real golf balls – anyone who has practiced chipping in their yard can attest that the occasional slip will send the ball hurtling toward the most delicate thing in the yard or, more likely, into the neighbor’s house. My vinyl siding will have fewer dings as a result of my purchase.
When hit properly, the produce a satisfying hum (slightly less satisfying if they’re humming while demonstrating your hook).
The only drawback that I’ve seen is that after heavy use, they can crack. I’d estimate that it took a few hundred shots before this happened. My son managed to lose three (probably lodged in a gutter or downspout), and two of the original dozen cracked. Since we were down to seven, I ordered another dozen.
I wish they were a little less expensive, but they’re worth it.

The Birdiebal is a fantastic product. I highly recommend it if you are into golf. It seams to go up about as high as a standard golf ball but not nearly as far. I took them to a large picnic gathering and it was great fun. We blasted them back and forth at the baseball field. Everyone wanted to try it.
I usually hit them in my backyard and it feels just like hitting a real ball. You can hit it as hard as you like and they don’t break. It will hook and slice just likes the real thing. If you hit it thin it will be a worm burner and skim across the ground.
The only negative points I can make is that it appears to be a good strike if I hit it in the sweet spot or the toe of the club. It is also possible to loose them in trees because of their shape. However, it is very hard to do. You have to hits lots of them in the trees before you get one to stay up there.
The strike pad works well but the graphics paint will come off on the bottom of your clubs. It also needs to be re-bent from time to time as it will flatten out with use. It is no big deal as it is easy to clean off with some strong soap and water. I prefer to hit off a nice thick practice mat that I have set up in the corner of the yard.
By the way they float if you will be hitting over a pool.
