Callaway HX Soft Flight - Foam Practice Golf Balls

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.

These are exactly what i expected after reading the reviews. They go a lot further than I expected. I hit one 70 yards with my 7 iron just barely swinging.

Perfect for the area and show true ball flight

Good practice golf ball. They fly far and can be tough to see in the grass

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.

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.

Work well as advertised, but extremely expensive

They’re okayyy; but I’m not a fan. I have used the Almost Golf ball and loved them. I wanted something similar but with better visibility; I thought this would fit the bill. And they did not. These balls are very soft (squishy), and come off the club face high and a little funky because they compress so much. And the “fud or thud” sound that they make when struck is not pleasant. The flight is about 25% of a normal golf ball for an iron full swing; I haven’t used them with my driver or wedges. After hitting them for a week; I decide to try the Sci-Core practice balls 👍🏽.
